Example of the boundary that the marching-squares algorithm will generate for a small excursion-set region of the order of the size of a single pixel ﹩\sim { \mathcal O }({\epsilon }^{2})﹩. The discrete nature of our algorithm generates a polygon that will not accurately represent the true, smooth boundary.
