[wrsoepmm] Proportional dissection of a rectangle

Given a rectangle and a set of numbers, divide the rectangle into regions with areas proportional to the given numbers, in an "elegant" way.

Minimize perimeter.
All regions rectangles or squares or circles, minimizing unused space.

Goal is a silly animation in which one region is destroyed randomly according to size, then the remaining pieces morph and rearrange themselves within the window.

Similar to redistricting.
