Are you partitioning by means of a formula or giving the coordinates of 
the smaller shape?

This is a problem of combining some arithmetic with latex. The coordinate 
of the center is defined in terms of one of the corners and one of the 
length. For partitioning you ned the corner coordinates and length. I 
guess it would be possible to write a formula for the center. You need to 
know how to combine this formula with latex. Unfortunately I don't know. I 
don't even know if it can be done.
