isolines.lua

-- Rasterising isolines
-- Here we generate a pattern randomly filled with points, and take as a scalar
-- field N(cell) = F_2(cell) - F_1(cell), where F_n is the Chebyshev distance
-- to the nth nearest neighbour. Isolines at N = 0 are drawn by thresholding N
-- at 1 and taking the surface.
