Hi Arie, Thanks for this inspiring course. In the last lecture you show us the way to optimize the spacing between the sub-groups' standardized panels inside on large group. I was wondering if there's any consideration on optimizing the spacing of panels sits on the boundaries between different main groups you get from the first area clustering method? Thanks for your help!

Hi Yangqi,
Thanks for your kind words! Yes there is a way, but it would require a different approach, which would mean rewriting the script from scratch, unfortunately... I choose this method to cluster panels based on their shape and form, the downside is that it is hard to communicate between various clusters, with this setup.
You can circumvent it (sort off) if you set the spacing distance the same for all the clusters, say between 5-8 cm. This way the spacing between the panels on the boundary of one cluster and the ones on the adjacent cluster will also be between 5-8cm. This way you won't notice the different clusters visually.
I hope this makes sense.
Best,
Arie
