Hi Damian

Nice work. Connected components is a very useful algorithm. Can you clarify your definition of neighbouring? Does it apply to pixels diagonal to one another (8 connectivity) or not (4 connectivity)?

Thanks for the comments!  Currently, I use 8-connectivity.  Should I make 4-connectivity an option, or simply document that?

No problem! :) Whether you should implement 4-connectivity as an option is up to you. I just wasn't sure which one the implementation was using so documenting it would help. :)

Great, I updated the docstring and merged. I personally prefer 8-connectivity because it is slightly more rotationally invariant. Regards Stéfan
