citerate 0.1.1

Python bi-dimensional matrix iterator starting from any point (x, y) iterating layer by layer around some starting coordinates.

Circular iterator (Citerate)

Python bi-dimensional matrix iterator starting from any point (x, y) iterating layer by layer around some starting coordinates.

Usage

pip install citerate

As of 14 july 2021 it contains one method citerator

from citerate import citerator

Examples

Using the example data set:

DATA = [
    [10, 11, 12, 13, 14],
    [25, 2,  3,  4,  15],
    [24, 9,  1,  5,  16],
    [23, 8,  7,  6,  17],
    [22, 21, 20, 19, 18],
]

Iterate over the set layer by layer starting from coordinates (x=2, y=2) and print each layer as a list of it's corresponding values.

for layer in citerator(DATA, x=2, y=2, layer=True):
    print(layer)

Yields:

[1]
[2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
[10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25]

Iterate over the set value by value starting from coordinates (x=2, y=2) and print each value individually.

for value in citerator(DATA, x=2, y=2):
    print(value, end=' ')

Yields:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25

Footnotes

• It is NOT mandatory to iterate starting from the central coordinates or for the matrix to be uniform.
• It HAS to be bi-dimenstional and follow a "list of lists" pattern.
