WPF Circle Packing Algorithm / Layout Control

Hi,

I am looking for help on Circle Packing in WPF. Similar to the following:

http://www.cricketschirping.com/weblog/2007/06/18/processing-sketch-circle-packing/

Does anyone known of a circle packing algorithm for WPF? My ideal scenario is to be able to create something similar to the IBM Many Eyes Bubble Visualization.

Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Here's a codeproject that is based on your link, ported to C#.

Hope it is of help.

Thanks for the link Tony. It looks promising, it is Winforms and XNA. But perhaps I can use this as a starting point. If anyone knows of a pure WPF control that does this that includes the ability to label each circle/ellipse that would be super, and of course save me some work :)Many thanks

maybe ComponentOne or Telerik have such a control, but they'd not be free.

Unfortunately neither Telerik or Component One (or others that I have found so far) have a control. I was hoping that someone in the ommunity had ported a version from the Processing world.
