  // top to bottom (in terms of the first pixel of the contour encountered
  // by the marching squares). Currently we make no guarantees that this
  // pixel is the first pixel in the contour list, just that the contours
  // are so ordered in the output. Ensuring this latter condition (first
  // pixel traversed = first pixel in contour) would be possible by either
  // changing the merging rules, which would make the contouring operation
