  1. Grids to shapes A small algorithmic problem

  2. How to turn this grid into these shapes? Shapes are modelled as polygonal parts, and parts as closed sequences of points, connected by straight lines, clockwise for the outer perimeter, and anticlockwise for any holes. Assuming the lower left corner is the origin, and that the grid squares are unit sized, the shapes in the second diagram can be defined as: 1 (Yellow): Part 1: [(0,0), (0,5), (5,5), (5, 0), (0,0)], [(1,1), (4,1), (4,4), (1,4), (1,1)] Part 2: [(2,2), (2,3), (3,3), (3,2), (2,2)] 2 (Blue): Part 1: [(1,1), (1,4), (4,4), (4,1), (1,1)], [(2,2), (3,2), (3,3), (2,3), (2,2)] In practice there can easily be 2 million grid squares containing a thousand different values. We need to be efficient!
