NAME
    FuseBead::From::PNG - Convert PNGs into plans to build a two dimensional
    fuse bead replica.

SYNOPSIS
      use FuseBead::From::PNG;

      my $object = FuseBead::From::PNG;

      $object->bead_tally();

DESCRIPTION
    Convert a PNG into a block list and plans to build a fuse bead replica
    of the PNG.

    $hash->{'filename'} = $args{'filename'};

        $hash->{'unit_size'} = $args{'unit_size'} || 1;

        # White list default
        $hash->{'whitelist'} = ($args{'whitelist'} && ref($args{'whitelist'}) eq 'ARRAY' && scalar(@{$args{'whitelist'}}) > 0) ? $args{'whitelist'} : undef;

        # Black list default
        $hash->{'blacklist'} = ($args{'blacklist'} && ref($args{'blacklist'}) eq 'ARRAY' && scalar(@{$args{'blacklist'}}) > 0) ? $args{'blacklist'} : undef;

USAGE
  new
     Usage     : ->new()
     Purpose   : Returns FuseBead::From::PNG object

     Returns   : FuseBead::From::PNG object
     Argument  :
        filename - Optional. The file name of the PNG to process. Optional but if not provided, can't process the png.
            e.g. filename => '/location/of/the.png'

        unit_size - Optional. The size of pixels squared to determine a single unit of a bead. Defaults to 1.
            e.g. unit_size => 2 # pixelated colors are 2x2 in size

        whitelist - Optional. Array ref of colors, dimensions or color and dimensions that are allowed in the final plan output.
            e.g. whitelist => [ 'BLACK', 'WHITE', '1x1x1', '1x2x1', '1x4x1', 'BLACK_1x6x1' ]

        blacklist - Optional. Array ref of colors, dimensions or color and dimensions that are not allowed in the final plan output.
            e.g. blacklist => [ 'RED', '1x10x1', '1x12x1', '1x16x1', 'BLUE_1x8x1' ]
