This project is part of the @thi.ng/umbrella monorepo.

About

2D grid iterators w/ multiple orderings.

Provides the 15 following orderings to generate grid coordinates and additional iterators for shape rasterization:

Columns

anim

Source

Also see the filtered version columnEnds2d(), which only includes the end points of each column.

Diagonal

anim

Source

Also see the filtered version diagonalEnds2d(), which only includes the end points of the diagonals.

Hilbert curve

Interleave columns

anim

Source

Supports custom strides... example uses step = 4

Interleave rows

anim

Source

Supports custom strides... example uses step = 4

Random

Source

Supports custom PRNG implementations via IRandom interface defined in @thi.ng/random

Rows

Some functions have been ported from Christopher Kulla's Java-based Sunflow renderer.

For more basic 2D/3D grid iteration, also see range2d() & range3d() in @thi.ng/transducers.

Miscellaneous

Additionally, the following shape iterators are available:
