Abstract
One or more processors sort a plurality of geometric shapes using one or more size criteria. One or more processors determine whether the plurality of geometric shapes include at least one geometric shape that encapsulates or partially overlaps at least one other geometric shape. One or more processors assign a hierarchical order for the plurality of geometric shapes based, at least in part, on the one or more size criteria and one or more criteria of one or both encapsulation and partial overlap.
