[Blindmath] A Question of Shape

[Christine Szostak]

Hi All,
  I have sort of an unusual question that I was wondering if anyone here might be able to provide some suggestions for.

  For a project in my lab, I need to create grids of shapes ranging in size from 2x2 through 10x10. I was wondering if:

a)  there is a way to do this without vision in something like Excel/Word/PowerPoint... while ensuring that shapes are placed properly.

b)  Has anyone  here attempted something like this without vision using programming (e.g., mostly to automate the process, since shape location needs to be pseudorandomized) and how much success did you have without vision in doing so?

Many thanks,
Christine
