ABSTRACT
Circle/river packing often leads to irregularity, even if the circles themselves come in only one or a few sizes. My software tool, TreeMaker, constructs a circle-packed solution for any user-specified stick figure, but even when you have the complete crease pattern, the problem still remains: how do you transfer the pattern to the folded paper? With a computer program, you could perhaps print out the pattern, but then you have to contend with printed lines on the finished form. If you want to fold the pattern with no visible printed lines, then there may be tens, or even hundreds, of vertices with no easily constructible method. I developed another tool, ReferenceFinder, which can
find folding sequences to locate individual folds or lines, but this is an incredibly tedious process with a circle-packed design if there are tens of points and/or lines to be found.
