Hi Andy, I'm not aware of a script that will do that currently. There is probably enough functionality set up in the node editor to do something like that, you would probably want to use the Flow command to apply a 2D planar pattern onto a surface.

But it will probably take a pretty considerable effort to make an automated process to do that, especially the part about generating non-overlapping copies.

Hi Andy, also the problem of placing objects into a container without overlapping existing ones is called "packing" : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packing_problems that's what you would want to search for to find research papers for related algorithms.
