i'm not looking for a heuristic approach. anyway, i think this is the one you remember: http://alteredqualia.com/visualization/evolve/. but it actually uses a form of simulated annealing and it uses polygones (not rects). But in fact i did something using rectangles and a genetic algorithm (inspired by the above): http://kallaballa.soup.io/post/466848221/Again-im-trying-to-approximate-pixe...

This sounds a bit like the "genetic algorithm approximating the mona lisa with rectangles" a few years back. >Depending on what you're using it for, there may be some original research involved :)
can't wait to see the result tbh

i'm looking for a method to approximate arbitrary vector graphic shapes (circles, rects, bezier curves, etc.) with >>line segments.
does anybody know the proper search terms for an algorithm doing that?
greets, amir
