polyominoes


polyominoes, a C++ code which provides some utilities for manipulating polyominoes.

A region R is a subset of an MRxNR grid of squares.

A polyomino P is a subset of an MPxNP grid of squares.

Both objects are represented by binary matrices, with the property that there are no initial or final zero rows or columns.
