Define a function that iteratively shift values in a vector avoid overlap

1 2	minimizeoverlap(x, maxiterations = 100, radius = 0.5, shift = 0.1, minval = -Inf, maxval = Inf)

`x`	vector of values to be spaced out
`maxiterations`	the maximum number of iterations to try
`radius`	how big a a radius of repulsion should we give to each value
`shift`	what is the maximum amount we should shift the value
`minval`	what is the minimum allowed value after shifting
`maxval`	what is the maximum allowed value after shifting

minval = 0 - 0.5
maxval = 20 + 0.5
plot(1,type='n',ann=F,xaxt='n',yaxt='n',xlim=c(0,40),ylim=c(0,20),xaxs='i',yaxs='i')

# pick vals between 1 and 100
x = runif(10,0,20)
y = minimizeoverlap(x,maxiterations=100,radius=.5,shift=0.1,minval=minval,maxval=maxval)

for (i in 1:length(x))
{
  plotCircle(1,x[i],.5)
  plotCircle(2,y[i],.5)
}
