How to stop overlap between different circles randomly generated

This question is similar to this question tikz: Distribute evenly and randomly circles (which is also where I got some of the code for this TiKz picture) but is different. I wish to draw multiple circles that do not overlap but some of these circles are different. Currently this is my code:

It is clear why this happens: you draw two or more independent samples, so if you say e.g.



fillrandomly3.63.80.1512$-$ 
fillrandomly3.63.80.1512$+$


the + ions do not know about the - ones. But it is very simple to fix it. Just make the reset of the collision list not part of the fillrandomly, but do it whenever you start a new group. That is, I redefined fillrandomly such that it does not reset the collision list, and added a command resetlists that issues the reset. I also defined an ion style that gets changed along the way such that one can add the filled ions.

  • I may have misunderstood something, but is the only thing that was changed was the addition of an ion style. I can't see where the cahnge was made to prevent the resetting of the list? I like to understand the code before I use it

    @sabhoque No, the original code has xdefxlist4xdefylist4 part of fillrandomly. This resets the collision list, i.e. the list of previous positions of ions. Whenever a new ion is placed, fillrandomly checks if the would-be ion overlaps with one of the previous ones. If not, the ion is drawn. All I did was not to reset the list automatically. So in the first example the + ions also know where the - ions were. I only reset the list when I switch to the next container. The ion style allows you to draw the shaded circles with fillrandomly, too.

It is clear why this happens: you draw two or more independent samples, so if you say e.g.



fillrandomly3.63.80.1512$-$ 
fillrandomly3.63.80.1512$+$


the + ions do not know about the - ones. But it is very simple to fix it. Just make the reset of the collision list not part of the fillrandomly, but do it whenever you start a new group. That is, I redefined fillrandomly such that it does not reset the collision list, and added a command resetlists that issues the reset. I also defined an ion style that gets changed along the way such that one can add the filled ions.

It is clear why this happens: you draw two or more independent samples, so if you say e.g.



fillrandomly3.63.80.1512$-$ 
fillrandomly3.63.80.1512$+$


the + ions do not know about the - ones. But it is very simple to fix it. Just make the reset of the collision list not part of the fillrandomly, but do it whenever you start a new group. That is, I redefined fillrandomly such that it does not reset the collision list, and added a command resetlists that issues the reset. I also defined an ion style that gets changed along the way such that one can add the filled ions.

  • I may have misunderstood something, but is the only thing that was changed was the addition of an ion style. I can't see where the cahnge was made to prevent the resetting of the list? I like to understand the code before I use it

    @sabhoque No, the original code has xdefxlist4xdefylist4 part of fillrandomly. This resets the collision list, i.e. the list of previous positions of ions. Whenever a new ion is placed, fillrandomly checks if the would-be ion overlaps with one of the previous ones. If not, the ion is drawn. All I did was not to reset the list automatically. So in the first example the + ions also know where the - ions were. I only reset the list when I switch to the next container. The ion style allows you to draw the shaded circles with fillrandomly, too.
