The Grove
Description
The pasture contains a small, contiguous grove of trees that has no 'holes' in the middle of the it. Bessie wonders: how far is it to walk around that grove and get back to my starting position? She's just sure there is a way to do it by going from her start location to successive locations by walking horizontally, vertically, or diagonally and counting each move as a single step. Just looking at it, she doesn't think you could pass 'through' the grove on a tricky diagonal. Your job is to calculate the minimum number of steps she must take.
Happily, Bessie lives on a simple world where the pasture is represented by a grid with R rows and C columns (1 <= R <= 50, 1 <= C <= 50). Here's a typical example where '.' is pasture (which Bessie may traverse), 'X' is the grove of trees, '*' represents Bessie's start and end position, and '+' marks one shortest path she can walk to circumnavigate the grove (i.e., the answer): ...+... ..+X+.. .+XXX+. ..+XXX+ ..+X..+ ...+++*The path shown is not the only possible shortest path; Bessie might have taken a diagonal step from her start position and achieved a similar length solution. Bessie is happy that she's starting 'outside' the grove instead of in a sort of 'harbor' that could complicate finding the best path. Input
Line 1: Two space-separated integers: R and C
Lines 2..R+1: Line i+1 describes row i with C characters (with no spaces between them). Output
Line 1: The single line contains a single integer which is the smallest number of steps required to circumnavigate the grove.

思路:
突破口肯定是必须要围绕果园走一圈了,那么起点到一个点分顺时针和逆时针经过果园用bfs求两次最短路就够了,比赛时想了很久都没想到处理顺时针和逆时针的方法,就只能想到这步了,思维还是不能突破呀。
怎样处理顺时针和逆时针呢?从果园中引一条射线出去与地图边界相交,从起点出发两次bfs,一次控制只能向上经过射线,一次控制只能向下进过射线就够了。因为绕果园必须要经过射线上一点,所以最后用射线上的点来更新答案就OK了。
注意:
那个射线不能随便作的,要保证射线不与果园再次相交。想一想,为什么?
