Sometimes in Flutter you just want to lay out some squares or rectangles tightly and uniformly.
- You want them all to fit on screen/in their parent...
- You want them to all be a certain shape...
- You don't want too much empty space in your layout...
- You don't particularly care how horizontal/vertical the items are laid out.
ListViews tend to take up too much horizontal space. Wrap widgets are good but wont resize to fit everything on screen, and aren't specialized for items of fixed proportion.
Introducing the RegularRectanglePacker.

It's a bit like a Wrap widget but it's designed for items of fixed aspect ratio, and it fits them all in the parent widget, with constant size, reasonably tightly.
Currently an unpublished work-in-progress.
