        It actually can.
        No extra protocol should be required for it.

        Just needs someone to implement it in their compositor.

      As long as the monitors and space are squares and all monitors have the same side length

        And the side of the space for monitors isn’t an integer multiple of the monitor side.

        Here you go. 22 16:9 monitors.

        I chose 22 monitors, because all other numbers have very expected results:

        17 monitors:

          So what’s that gap for?
          You can clearly either fit a few more, or make the total area smaller.

            You are right, actually. I blindly trusted the computer to figure this one out, but just looking at it I found a better solution by hand. Maybe there really are some better solutions for the 22 monitors problem.

            spoiler

            This better not end up in any scientific papers, ever.

            To answer your question: fitting more monitors into these gaps would not result in the optimal placement for that amount of monitors. 23, 24, and 25 monitors all have “expected” results. And closing the remaining gap would not result in a smaller bounding box square.

      Hmm, that is kind of cool, in that you can have text on all 4 sides and it’s still generally readable. Not really possible for vertical panels…

    Make sure to implement the arbitrary angles in your Wayland compositor.

    I cannot even conceive of how angles not based on 90° increments would render various things without issues. Or why you’d want that.
