Mike,
The application I expect to release this weekend handles all of these
features (grouping like-vertical plates into bricks, you may choose
which colors to use, displays/generates a partitioning map for you,
etc...)

to try to match certain piece distributions as closely as possible (say,
for example, to try to get brick distributions of similar proportion as
that of the Bulk Blue Tub).
Anyway...
