scatterview

Hi

I have an app that creates a variable number of ScatterviewItems based on which tagged object is placed on the surface table.

The ScatterViewItems are added programatically to the ScatterView based on info looked up in a DB

The Scatterview does a good job of displaying this info

However, I would like them to be

evenly distributed across the table and
not have any items overlapping

Any ideas how to do that?
