+Binary Tree Algorithm for 2D Bin Packing
+========================================
+
+This project is a javascript experiment to write a binary tree based
+bin packing algorithm that is suitable for generating
+[CSS sprites](https://github.com/jakesgordon/sprite-factory).
+
+Demo
+====
+
+Clone this repository
+
+    git clone https://github.com/jakesgordon/bin-packing
+
+View the index.html file in your favorite browser for
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+If you want to use GrowingPacker in your own javascript projects, you need something like this:
+
+    <script src='packer.growing.js'></script>
+    <script>
+      var packer = new GrowingPacker();
+      var blocks = [
+        { w: 100, h: 100 },
+        { w: 100, h: 100 },
+        { w:  80, h:  80 },
+        { w:  80, h:  80 },
+        etc
+        etc
+      ];
+
+      blocks.sort(function(a,b) { return (b.h < a.h); }); // sort inputs for best results (see demo.js for comprehensive sort options)
+      packer.fit(blocks);
+
+      for(var n = 0 ; n < blocks.length ; n++) {
+        var block = blocks[n];
+        if (block.fit) {
+          DrawRectangle(block.fit.x, block.fit.y, block.w, block.h);
+        }
+      }
+    </script>
