# metafier.py:
# Uses the current selection to build a Brice Due metapixel pattern.
# See http://otcametapixel.blogspot.com for more info.
# Original author: Dave Greene, 12 June 2006.
#
# Dave Greene, 23 June 2006:  added non-Conway's-Life rule support.
# Also reduced the script size by a factor of six, at the expense of
# adding a moderate-sized [constant] performance hit at the start
# [due to composing the base tiles from smaller subpatterns.]
#
# The delay is almost all due to running CellCenter[3680] at the end
# to produce the large filled area for the ONcell.  Subpatterns are
# generally (with some exceptions) defined to match the labeled slides at
# http://otcametapixel.blogspot.com/2006/05/how-does-it-work.html .
#
# It's still possible to simplify the script by another factor of
# two or more, by replacing the four main types of P46 oscillators
# [which are often quoted as flat patterns] with predefined library
# versions in the correct phase; see samples in the slide-24 section.
#
# 24 June 2006: the script now saves a reference copy of the OFFcell
# and (particularly) the slow-to-construct ONcell, so these only have
# to be constructed from scratch once, the first time the script runs.
#
# If metapixel-ON.rle and metapixel-OFF.rle become corrupted, they
# should be deleted so the script can re-generate them.
#
# 3 July 2007:  added code to avoid errors in rules like Seeds,
#  where the Golly canonical form of the rule doesn't include a '/'
#
# Modified by Andrew Trevorrow, 20 July 2006 (faster, simpler and
# doesn't change the current clipboard).
#
# Modified by Andrew Trevorrow, 5 October 2007 (metafied pattern is
# created in a separate layer so we don't clobber the selection).
