Abstract

Climb is a generic image processing library designed to be used for rapid prototyping. The implementation of two component trees algorithms impacts Climb in several ways: the definition of values is extended, new site sets are added and debugging utilities are improved. A detour is taken to understand the Chaining design pattern popularized by the Javascript jQuery library. The pattern is adapted to both the image processing domain and Common Lisp and is extended to introduce a parallel notation as well as better control flows.
