find "clusters" of adjacent cells from a 3d array. the array does not need to be cubic, but it does need to be a rectangular prism.
suppose you had a three dimensional array, full of 0s and 1s. 0s are white, and 1s are green. graphically, it may look like:
what you desire is the sets of connected green cells. graphically, it may look like:
well, that's exactly what this module provides! yahoo!
const adj3d = require('3d-adjacency')
const exampleCube = [ // as shown above
[
[1, 0, 1], [0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 1],
],
[
[1, 0, 1], [0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 1],
],
[
[1, 0, 1], [0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 2],
],
]
const groups = adj3d.find(exampleCube)
// ==>
/*
[ // four groups of green blocks
[
{ x: 0, y: 0, z: 0, value: 1 },
{ x: 1, y: 0, z: 0, value: 1 },

"Hey, why is output not matching the same form as the input?"
Valid question. Specifically, the output is a set of objects that are coordinates+values. the input is the actual data. Although one might expect the output to be something like [ [0, 1, 2] ]
, where 0, 1, 2
are coordinates, the input was not coordinate sets to begin with.

- 0.0.2 handle much larger arrays. remove recursive calls to keep stack down
