We present at a new approach to finding aesthetically pleasing page layouts. We do not aim to find an optimal layout, rather the aim is to find a layout which is not obviously wrong. We consider vertical scroll-like layout with floating figures referenced within the text where floats can have alternate sizes, may be optional, move from one side to the other and change their order. We also allow pagination. Our approach is to use a randomised local search algorithm to explore different configurations of floats, i.e. choice of floats and relative ordering. For a particular float configuration we use an efficient gradient projection-like continuous optimization algorithm. The resulting system is fast and provides an efficient warm start option to improve interactive support.
