rowfind 0.1.4

Find points that make an equally spaced row on a 2D plane

Find points that make an equally spaced row on a 2D plane.

Fast and simple, works by walking in 4 directions (1,0  0,1  1,1  1,-1) to n steps from a point and checking if the next point exists, until the required row size is reached.

Example usage:
    import rowfind
    coords = [
        (0, 0), (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4),
        (3, 5), (12, 3), (12, 4), (11, 3), (11, 2),
        (11, 1), (10, 3), (5, 3), (6, 2), (7, 1),
        (7, 0), (8, 1), (8, 5), (9, 5)
    ]
    row_size = 3
    steps = 1
    rows = rowfind.find_rows(coords, row_size, steps)

    # Where `coords` is a tuple/list of (x, y) coordinates,
    # `row_size` is the length of rows to find and `steps`
    # is the number of steps to walk before checking a point.
    #
    # The `steps` parameter can be a single integer, a
    # tuple/list of integers or None. If None, it tries all
    # possible steps that fit into the plane's bounds.
    #
    # The return value is a tuple of tuples, where each
    # tuple is a group of points that form a row.

    # To visualize the results:
    print("\n".join(str(row) for row in rows))
    graph = rowfind.draw_graph(coords, rows)
    print(graph)

Output:
    ((5, 3), (6, 2), (7, 1))
    ((11, 1), (11, 2), (11, 3))
    ((3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5))
    ((0, 0), (1, 1), (2, 2))
    ((1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3))
    ((10, 3), (11, 3), (12, 3))
