POLYOMINO_TRANSFORM
Reflect and Rotate a Polyomino


POLYOMINO_TRANSFORM, a C++ library which transforms the matrix representing a polyomino by reflection and rotation.

The polyomino is described by an MxN matrix containing only 0 and 1 values.

A reflection is implemented by reversing the order of entries in each row.

A rotation of 90 degrees rotates the matrix counterclockwise. The values of M and N are also interchanged.

The transformation to be carried out will involve 0 or 1 reflections, followed by 0, 1, 2 or 3 rotations of 90 degrees.
