Need to create a grid of subcomps  - perimeter (exterior border)  remains constant  so that width and height of the whole grid does not change- when one ‘square’ within the grid scales up, the others automatically reconfigure their scales to stay within the perimeter. All of the ‘squares’ vary in width and height.  Also there needs to be a width-controllable stroke that remains constant and also has an animate-able width size. 

Know of any existing scripts or ... ?

Thanks all.
