/*
 * MULTI-CHANNEL SIGNED DISTANCE FIELD GENERATOR v1.5 (2017-07-23)
 * ---------------------------------------------------------------
 * A utility by Viktor Chlumsky, (c) 2014 - 2017
 *
 * The technique used to generate multi-channel distance fields in this code
 * has been developed by Viktor Chlumsky in 2014 for his master's thesis,
 * "Shape Decomposition for Multi-Channel Distance Fields". It provides improved
 * quality of sharp corners in glyphs and other 2D shapes in comparison to monochrome
 * distance fields. To reconstruct an image of the shape, apply the median of three
 * operation on the triplet of sampled distance field values.
