In a previous paper [1], we derived formulae for estimating the storage requirements ofthe Rectangular and L-shaped Corner Stitching data structures [2, 3] for a given layout.These formulae require the computation of quantities called violations, which aregeometric properties of the layout. In this paper, we present optimal Θ(n log n)algorithms for computing violations, where n is the number of rectangles in the layout.These algorithms are incorporated into a software tool called CLOTH MEASURE.Experiments conducted with CLOTH MEASURE show that it is a viable tool forestimating the memory requirements of a layout without having to implement thecorner stitching data structures, which is a tedious and time-consuming task
