/* PBN, Paint-By-Numbers Puzzle */ /* Written in GNU MathProg by Andrew Makhorin */ /* NOTE: See also the document "Solving Paint-By-Numbers Puzzles with GLPK", which is included in the GLPK distribution. */ /* A paint-by-numbers puzzle consists of an m*n grid of pixels (the canvas) together with m+n cluster-size sequences, one for each row and column. The goal is to paint the canvas with a picture that satisfies the following constraints: 1. Each pixel must be blank or white. 2. If a row or column has cluster-size sequence s1, s2, ..., sk, then it must contain k clusters of black pixels - the first with s1 black pixels, the second with s2 black pixels, and so on. It should be noted that "first" means "leftmost" for rows and "topmost" for columns, and that rows and columns need not begin or end with black pixels. Example: 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 2 3 3 2 1 2 1 2 3 4 8 9 3 6 # # # . # # # # # # 1 4 # . . . . . # # # # 1 1 3 . . # . # . . # # # 2 . . . . . . . . # # 3 3 . . # # # . . # # # 1 4 # . . . . . # # # # 2 5 # # . . . # # # # # 2 5 # # . . . # # # # # 1 1 . . . # . . . . . # 3 . . # # # . . . . .
