--- Overall workflow
--- ================
--- The steps to generate the qrcode, assuming we already have the codeword:
---
--- 1. Determine version, ec level and mode (=encoding) for codeword
--- 1. Encode data
--- 1. Arrange data and calculate error correction code
--- 1. Generate 8 matrices with different masks and calculate the penalty
--- 1. Return qrcode with least penalty
---
--- Each step is of course more or less complex and needs further description

--- Helper functions
--- ================
---
--- We start with some helper functions

-- To calculate xor we need to do that bitwise. This helper table speeds up the num-to-bit
-- part a bit (no pun intended)

--- Step 1: Determine version, ec level and mode for codeword
--- ========================================================
---
--- First we need to find out the version (= size) of the QR code. This depends on
--- the input data (the mode to be used), the requested error correction level
--- (normally we use the maximum level that fits into the minimal size).

-- Return the mode for the given string `str`.

	else
		return 4
	end

	return nil
end



--- Capacity of QR codes
--- --------------------
--- The capacity is calculated as follow: \\(\text{Number of data bits} = \text{number of codewords} * 8\\).
--- The number of data bits is now reduced by 4 (the mode indicator) and the length string,
--- that varies between 8 and 16, depending on the version and the mode (see method `get_length()`). The
--- remaining capacity is multiplied by the amount of data per bit string (numeric: 3, alphanumeric: 2, other: 1)
--- and divided by the length of the bit string (numeric: 10, alphanumeric: 11, binary: 8, kanji: 13).
--- Then the floor function is applied to the result:
--- $$\Big\lfloor \frac{( \text{#data bits} - 4 - \text{length string}) * \text{data per bit string}}{\text{length of the bit string}} \Big\rfloor$$
---
--- There is one problem remaining. The length string depends on the version,
--- and the version depends on the length string. But we take this into account when calculating the
--- the capacity, so this is not really a problem here.

-- The capacity (number of codewords) of each version (1-40) for error correction levels 1-4 (LMQH).
-- The higher the ec level, the lower the capacity of the version. Taken from spec, tables 7-11.

--- Step 2: Encode data
--- ===================

--- There are several ways to encode the data. We currently support only numeric, alphanumeric and binary.
--- We already chose the encoding (a.k.a. mode) in the first step, so we need to apply the mode to the
--- codeword.
---
--- **Numeric**: take three digits and encode them in 10 bits
--- **Alphanumeric**: take two characters and encode them in 11 bits
--- **Binary**: take one octet and encode it in 8 bits

--- Step 3: Organize data and calculate error correction code
--- =======================================================
--- The data in the qrcode is not encoded linearly. For example code 5-H has four blocks, the first two blocks
--- contain 11 codewords and 22 error correction codes each, the second block contain 12 codewords and 22 ec codes each.
--- We just take the table from the spec and don't calculate the blocks ourself. The table `ecblocks` contains this info.
---
--- During the phase of splitting the data into codewords, we do the calculation for error correction codes. This step involves
--- polynomial division. Find a math book from school and follow the code here :)

--- ### Reed Solomon error correction
--- Now this is the slightly ugly part of the error correction. We start with log/antilog tables

--- Step 4: Generate 8 matrices with different masks and calculate the penalty
--- ==========================================================================
---
--- Prepare matrix
--- --------------
--- The first step is to prepare an _empty_ matrix for a given size/mask. The matrix has a
--- few predefined areas that must be black or blank. We encode the matrix with a two
--- dimensional field where the numbers determine which pixel is blank or not.
---
--- The following code is used for our matrix:
---	     0 = not in use yet,
---	    -2 = blank by mandatory pattern,
---	     2 = black by mandatory pattern,
---	    -1 = blank by data,
---	     1 = black by data
---
---
--- To prepare the _empty_, we add positioning, alingment and timing patters.

--- ### Positioning patterns ###
local function add_position_detection_patterns(tab_x)
	local size = #tab_x
	-- allocate quite zone in the matrix area
	for i=1,8 do
		for j=1,8 do
			tab_x[i][j] = -2
			tab_x[size - 8 + i][j] = -2
			tab_x[i][size - 8 + j] = -2
		end
	end
	-- draw the detection pattern (outer)
	for i=1,7 do
		-- top left
		tab_x[1][i]=2
		tab_x[7][i]=2
		tab_x[i][1]=2
		tab_x[i][7]=2

		-- top right
		tab_x[size][i]=2
		tab_x[size - 6][i]=2
		tab_x[size - i + 1][1]=2
		tab_x[size - i + 1][7]=2

		-- bottom left
		tab_x[1][size - i + 1]=2
		tab_x[7][size - i + 1]=2
		tab_x[i][size - 6]=2
		tab_x[i][size]=2
	end
	-- draw the detection pattern (inner)
	for i=1,3 do
		for j=1,3 do
			-- top left
			tab_x[2+j][i+2]=2
			-- top right
			tab_x[size - j - 1][i+2]=2
			-- bottom left
			tab_x[2 + j][size - i - 1]=2
		end
	end
end

--- ### Timing patterns ###
-- The timing patterns (two) are the dashed lines between two adjacent positioning patterns on row/column 7.
local function add_timing_pattern(tab_x)
	local line,col
	line = 7
	col = 9
	for i=col,#tab_x - 8 do
		if math.fmod(i,2) == 1 then
			tab_x[i][line] = 2
		else
			tab_x[i][line] = -2
		end
	end
	for i=col,#tab_x - 8 do
		if math.fmod(i,2) == 1 then
			tab_x[line][i] = 2
		else
			tab_x[line][i] = -2
		end
	end
end


--- ### Alignment patterns ###
--- The alignment patterns must be added to the matrix for versions > 1. The amount and positions depend on the versions and are
--- given by the spec. Beware: the patterns must not be placed where we have the positioning patterns
--- (that is: top left, top right and bottom left.)

-- For each version, where should we place the alignment patterns? See table E.1 of the spec
