Or indeed whether "bounding boxes" have to be rectangular. I.e., what about diagonal clusters? ,__, [[0, 0,|1,|0, 0], _/ _/ ,__, [0,/1,/0, 0,|1], _/ _/ _/ / [1,/0, 0,/1,/0], _/ / [0, 0,/1,/0, 0]] Or should that be +-------------+ [[|0, 0, 1, 0, 0|], | | [|0, 1, 0, 0, 1|], | | [|1, 0, 0, 1, 0|], | | [|0, 0, 1, 0, 0|]] +-------------+ since two 3x3 squares around the length-3 diagonals would overlap.
