At least two circular graphic objects (14) selected from a set (12) of circular graphic objects (14) are arranged at respective locations in a coordinate plane (24) where the circular graphic objects (14) are mutually tangent. Another one of the circular graphic objects (14) is chosen from the set (12) as a current circular graphic object. A current target one of the circular graphic objects (14) in the coordinate plane (24) is selected based on application of a selection metric to distances respectively separating the circular graphic objects (14) in the coordinate plane (24) from a reference location (42). The current circular graphic object is positioned at a respective location in the coordinate plane (24) where the current circular graphic object is tangent to the current target circular graphic object and tangent to another one of the circular graphic objects (14) in the coordinate plane (24). The choosing, the selecting, and the positioning are repeated.
