Zone Counter Project

Features

• Map creator GUI in python.
• Zone Counter program in c++
• Save Map as txt and use it from c++ and python.
• Create a map with MapInterface functions.
• C++ library for python wrapping

Usage

Test Evironment

• Ubuntu 18.04
• g++ v7.5.0
• C++ standard: 17
• Build tool: Cmake

Run

Main code includes two examples:

1. Map from txt file created with python gui, then count of zone from this map
2. Creating map with c++ api, then count of zone from this map. If you want to provide another map text file created with python gui use: ./zonecounter --filepath <path>

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j4
cd ../bin
./zonecounter

Custom Map

1. Use python gui for map creating
   • Save map as txt
   • Run zonecounter with filepath argument
2. C++ code
   • change codes inside createMap function in main.cpp

**NOTE

Create a map inside createMap function in main.cpp:

map.SetSize(5,5);
map.SetBorder(3,1);
map.SetBorder(3,2);
map.SetBorder(3,3);
map.SetBorder(3,4);
map.SetBorder(3,5);

Result is:

x,y index starts 1,1

Solve Algorithm

• Once a map is created, create function adds border edges for all side. Like the picture below, in python gui section.
• Solve function initialize a zonePointMap which has all nonborder points.
• Solve function calls LookNeighbor function witth a zonePoint
• LookNeighbor searches all neighbor cells recursively until remain no neighbor zone points in the map.
• ZoneCounter variable is increased after LookNeighbor returned true
• These processes continue until zonePointMap is empty.

Python GUI

Python GUI is developed for test purposes and also It provides map visuality, map creation speed, variety.

Requirements for python

• Python3.6
• PyQt5

Run

python map_creator.py

Known Bugs

Improvements Can Be Made

• MapImpl class creates border edges and stores them. This process needs to be in ZoneCounterImpl class.
