The following script fails with

Commenting out bars so it's an odd number makes it pass.

I haven't looked into what causes this, but it would be great to have it fixed.

I faced this problem too with version 0.2.2

It would be great if you could fix that.


PS. Great script and great work, congratulations.

This is caused due to how inject is being used
in Scruffy::Layers::Stacked.points(). Here's the relevant code:

longest_arr = layers.inject(nil) do |longest, layer|
  longest = layer.points if (longest.nil? || longest.size <
layer.points.size)
end

On the first pass, longest is nil and gets assigned. If on the
second pass, layer.points.size >= longest.size, longest will
not be set and the block will return nil, re-setting longest
to nil. So, two layers, each with the same size, will result
in longest_arr being nil.

I've fixed this in my version via:

longest_arr = layers.inject(nil) do |longest, layer|
  longest = layer.points if (longest.nil? || longest.size <
layer.points.size)
  longest
end
