:: Vector Bool | the initial row of binary values |
-> Word32 | the 32-bit rule |
-> Int | the number of rows returned |
-> Vector Bool | the rows returned concatenated into a single vector |
Starting with a single row of binary values, this function generates a vector of rows in which each row (except the first) is based on the values of the previous row, using the next-nearest neighbors calculation based upon the 32 bit rule provided.
:: Vector Bool | a grid (set of rows) concatenated in a single vector |
-> Int | the width of a row in the grid |
-> Vector (Bool, Int) |
This function overlays each point in a grid with the 32-bit value category it falls into. This is a simple method of categorizing pixels in a generated pattern, so that color and masks can be applied to them in interesting ways.
