• Renamed <Grid>.contains to <Grid>.containsXY:

  - if (grid.contains(0, 0)) {
  + if (grid.containsXY(0, 0)) {
  

• Added <Grid>.contains to check if a given element is within the grid, similar to List.contains:

  if (grid.contains('#')) {
    // ...
  }
  

• Removed Uint8Grid, in favor of ListGrid.view(List<T>, {int width}):

  - final grid = Uint8Grid(3, 3);
  + final grid = ListGrid.view(Uint8List(3 * 3), width: 3);
  

  This reducs the API surface, and focuses on the key use-case of creating a grid without copying the data: using compact lists as backing storage without generics or codegen.

• Added GridIterator, GridIterable and Traversal. These classes provide ways to iterate over the elements of a grid, and to traverse the grid in different directions.

  For example, a row-major traversal:

  for (final element in grid.traverse(rowMajor())) {
    // ...
  }
  

  See also:

  • rowMajor
  • drawLine

• Added <Grid>.layoutHint and <Grid>.getByIndexUnchecked; these methods allow for more efficient traversal of the grid, by providing a hint about the layout of the grid, and by accessing elements by index without extra bounds checking.

  Most users never need to use these methods.

• Added Uint8Grid, the first sub-type of TypedDataGrid. A Uint8Grid, like it's counterpart Uint8List, is a grid of unsigned 8-bit integers, which makes it suitable for storing pixel data, tile maps, and other data that can be represented as a grid of 8-bit values.
