Here's an attempt using strings ( so I can do "inner" point removal with just one s/// ) and using vr's triple idea Re: Polygon Creation -- Request for Algorithm Suggestions ( so I can "walk" the perimeter by finding the closest unused point to the previous point.

#!/usr/bin/perl # http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=1204060 use strict; use warnings; my @points = points(); my ($minx, $miny, $maxx, $maxy) = ( $points[0][0], $points[0][1], $points[0][0], $points[0][1]); for (@points) { my ($x, $y) = @$_; $minx > $x and $minx = $x; $miny > $y and $miny = $y; $maxx < $x and $maxx = $x; $maxy < $y and $maxy = $y; } my $width = $maxx - $minx + 1; my $width3 = $width * 3; my $gridwidth = $width3 + 1; my $height = $maxy - $miny + 1; my @letters = ('A' .. 'Z', 'a' .. 'z'); # label points by letter seque +nce my $grid = ( '---' x $width . "\n" ) x $height x 3; for (@points) { my ($x, $y) = @$_; for my $xx (0..2) # triple { for my $yy (0..2) # triple { substr $grid, (($y - $miny) * 3 + $yy) * $gridwidth + ($x - $minx) * 3 + $xx +, 1, 'O'; } } } #print $grid, "\n\n"; $grid =~ s/ # remove "inside" points (?<=O) (?<=O.{$width3}) O (?=O) (?=.{$width3}O) / /gsx; #print $grid, "\n"; my $output = (' ' x $width . "\n") x $height; my $i = 0; my @answerpoints; my @available; push @available, $-[0] while $grid =~ /O/g; my $previous = shift @available; place($previous); while( @available ) { (my $closest, @available) = map $_->[0], sort { $a->[1] <=> $b->[1] } map [ $_, distance($_, $previous) ], @available; $previous = $closest; place($closest); } print "$output\n"; # for show #use Data::Dump 'pp'; pp \@answerpoints; # the real answer :) sub place { my $pos3 = shift; my ($x3, $y3) = ( $pos3 % $gridwidth, int $pos3 / $gridwidth ); my ($x, $y) = (int $x3 / 3, int $y3 / 3); pos($output) = $y * ($width + 1) + $x; $output =~ s/\G /$letters[$i++ % @letters]/ and push @answerpoints, [ $x + $minx, $y + $miny ]; } sub distance # between two pos values { my ($from, $to) = @_; my ($x1, $y1) = ( $from % $gridwidth, int $from / $gridwidth ); my ($x2, $y2) = ( $to % $gridwidth, int $to / $gridwidth ); sqrt( ($x2 - $x1)**2 + ($y2 - $y1)**2 ); # sqrt may not be needed } sub points { ... data points removed to shorten listing }

Outputs (using letters in sequence to show the order of the points):

A MNOPQRSB KL C J D I E k H FG O j l G HIJKLMNP i m F Q h no E R g pq D S f rs C T e tuvw B U d xyzA V c W baZ X Y Y X Z W a V b U c T d S e R f Q g P h ONMLK i JIHGFED j CBAz k yxwvut l s m rqpon

Of course, the "real" answer is in @answerpoints (not shown because of length)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
