def generate_binary_structure(rank, connectivity):
    """
    Generate a binary structure for binary morphological operations.

    Parameters
    ----------
    rank : int
         Number of dimensions of the array to which the structuring element
         will be applied, as returned by `np.ndim`.
    connectivity : int
         `connectivity` determines which elements of the output array belong
         to the structure, i.e., are considered as neighbors of the central
         element. Elements up to a squared distance of `connectivity` from
         the center are considered neighbors. `connectivity` may range from 1
         (no diagonal elements are neighbors) to `rank` (all elements are
         neighbors).

    Returns
    -------
    output : ndarray of bools
         Structuring element which may be used for binary morphological
         operations, with `rank` dimensions and all dimensions equal to 3.

    See Also
    --------

    Notes
    -----
    `generate_binary_structure` can only create structuring elements with
    dimensions equal to 3, i.e., minimal dimensions. For larger structuring
    elements, that are useful e.g., for eroding large objects, one may either
    use `iterate_structure`, or create directly custom arrays with
    numpy functions such as `numpy.ones`.

    Multidimensional binary erosion with a given structuring element.

    Binary erosion is a mathematical morphology operation used for image

    Parameters
    ----------
    input : array_like
        Binary image to be eroded. Non-zero (True) elements form
        the subset to be eroded.
    structure : array_like, optional
        Structuring element used for the erosion. Non-zero elements are
        considered True. If no structuring element is provided, an element
        is generated with a square connectivity equal to one.
    iterations : int, optional
        The erosion is repeated `iterations` times (one, by default).
        If iterations is less than 1, the erosion is repeated until the
        result does not change anymore.
    mask : array_like, optional
        If a mask is given, only those elements with a True value at
        the corresponding mask element are modified at each iteration.
    output : ndarray, optional
        Array of the same shape as input, into which the output is placed.
        By default, a new array is created.
    border_value : int (cast to 0 or 1), optional
        Value at the border in the output array.
    origin : int or tuple of ints, optional
        Placement of the filter, by default 0.
    brute_force : boolean, optional
        Memory condition: if False, only the pixels whose value was changed in
        the last iteration are tracked as candidates to be updated (eroded) in
        the current iteration; if True all pixels are considered as candidates
        for erosion, regardless of what happened in the previous iteration.
        False by default.
    axes : tuple of int or None
        The axes over which to apply the filter. If None, `input` is filtered
        along all axes. If an `origin` tuple is provided, its length must match
        the number of axes.

    Returns
    -------
    binary_erosion : ndarray of bools
        Erosion of the input by the structuring element.

    Notes
    -----
    Erosion [1]_ is a mathematical morphology operation [2]_ that uses a
    structuring element for shrinking the shapes in an image. The binary
    erosion of an image by a structuring element is the locus of the points
    where a superimposition of the structuring element centered on the point
    is entirely contained in the set of non-zero elements of the image.

    Multidimensional binary opening with the given structuring element.

    The *opening* of an input image by a structuring element is the

    Parameters
    ----------
    input : array_like
        Binary array_like to be opened. Non-zero (True) elements form
        the subset to be opened.
    structure : array_like, optional
        Structuring element used for the opening. Non-zero elements are
        considered True. If no structuring element is provided an element
        is generated with a square connectivity equal to one (i.e., only
        nearest neighbors are connected to the center, diagonally-connected
        elements are not considered neighbors).
    iterations : int, optional
        The erosion step of the opening, then the dilation step are each
        repeated `iterations` times (one, by default). If `iterations` is
        less than 1, each operation is repeated until the result does
        not change anymore. Only an integer of iterations is accepted.
    output : ndarray, optional
        Array of the same shape as input, into which the output is placed.
        By default, a new array is created.
    origin : int or tuple of ints, optional
        Placement of the filter, by default 0.
    mask : array_like, optional
        If a mask is given, only those elements with a True value at
        the corresponding mask element are modified at each iteration.

        .. versionadded:: 1.1.0
    border_value : int (cast to 0 or 1), optional
        Value at the border in the output array.

        .. versionadded:: 1.1.0
    brute_force : boolean, optional
        Memory condition: if False, only the pixels whose value was changed in
        the last iteration are tracked as candidates to be updated in the
        current iteration; if true all pixels are considered as candidates for
        update, regardless of what happened in the previous iteration.
        False by default.

        .. versionadded:: 1.1.0
    axes : tuple of int or None
        The axes over which to apply the filter. If None, `input` is filtered
        along all axes. If an `origin` tuple is provided, its length must match
        the number of axes.

    Returns
    -------
    binary_opening : ndarray of bools
        Opening of the input by the structuring element.

    Notes
    -----
    *Opening* [1]_ is a mathematical morphology operation [2]_ that
    consists in the succession of an erosion and a dilation of the
    input with the same structuring element. Opening, therefore, removes
    objects smaller than the structuring element.

    Together with *closing* (`binary_closing`), opening can be used for
    noise removal.

    """
    Multidimensional binary propagation with the given structuring element.

    Parameters
    ----------
    input : array_like
        Binary image to be propagated inside `mask`.
    structure : array_like, optional
        Structuring element used in the successive dilations. The output
        may depend on the structuring element, especially if `mask` has
        several connex components. If no structuring element is
        provided, an element is generated with a squared connectivity equal
        to one.
    mask : array_like, optional
        Binary mask defining the region into which `input` is allowed to
        propagate.
    output : ndarray, optional
        Array of the same shape as input, into which the output is placed.
        By default, a new array is created.
    border_value : int (cast to 0 or 1), optional
        Value at the border in the output array.
    origin : int or tuple of ints, optional
        Placement of the filter, by default 0.
    axes : tuple of int or None
        The axes over which to apply the filter. If None, `input` is filtered
        along all axes. If an `origin` tuple is provided, its length must match
        the number of axes.

    Returns
    -------
    binary_propagation : ndarray
        Binary propagation of `input` inside `mask`.

    Notes
    -----
    This function is functionally equivalent to calling binary_dilation
    with the number of iterations less than one: iterative dilation until
    the result does not change anymore.

    The succession of an erosion and propagation inside the original image
    can be used instead of an *opening* for deleting small objects while
    keeping the contours of larger objects untouched.

    Parameters
    ----------

        N-D binary array with holes to be filled
    structure : array_like, optional
        Structuring element used in the computation; large-size elements
        make computations faster but may miss holes separated from the

    Notes
    -----
    The algorithm used in this function consists in invading the complementary
    of the shapes in `input` from the outer boundary of the image,
    using binary dilations. Holes are not connected to the boundary and are
    therefore not invaded. The result is the complementary subset of the
    invaded region.

    footprint : array of ints, optional
        Positions of non-infinite elements of a flat structuring element
        used for the grayscale erosion. Non-zero values give the set of
        neighbors of the center over which the minimum is chosen.
    structure : array of ints, optional
        Structuring element used for the grayscale erosion. `structure`
        may be a non-flat structuring element. The `structure` array applies a

        'constant'. Default is 'reflect'
    cval : scalar, optional

    axes : tuple of int or None
        The axes over which to apply the filter. If None, `input` is filtered

    The grayscale erosion of an image input by a structuring element s defined
    over a domain E is given by:

    (input+s)(x) = min {input(y) - s(x-y), for y in E}

    In particular, for structuring elements defined as

    Multidimensional grayscale opening.

    A grayscale opening consists in the succession of a grayscale erosion,

    Parameters
    ----------
    input : array_like
        Array over which the grayscale opening is to be computed.
    size : tuple of ints
        Shape of a flat and full structuring element used for the grayscale
        opening. Optional if `footprint` or `structure` is provided.
    footprint : array of ints, optional
        Positions of non-infinite elements of a flat structuring element
        used for the grayscale opening.
    structure : array of ints, optional
        Structuring element used for the grayscale opening. `structure`
        may be a non-flat structuring element. The `structure` array applies
        offsets to the pixels in a neighborhood (the offset is additive during
        dilation and subtractive during erosion).
    output : array, optional
        An array used for storing the output of the opening may be provided.
    mode : {'reflect', 'constant', 'nearest', 'mirror', 'wrap'}, optional
        The `mode` parameter determines how the array borders are
        handled, where `cval` is the value when mode is equal to
        'constant'. Default is 'reflect'
    cval : scalar, optional
        Value to fill past edges of input if `mode` is 'constant'. Default
        is 0.0.
    origin : scalar, optional
        The `origin` parameter controls the placement of the filter.
        Default 0
    axes : tuple of int or None
        The axes over which to apply the filter. If None, `input` is filtered
        along all axes. If an `origin` tuple is provided, its length must match
        the number of axes.

    Returns
    -------
    grey_opening : ndarray
        Result of the grayscale opening of `input` with `structure`.

    Distance transform function by a brute force algorithm.

    This function calculates the distance transform of the `input`, by

    shortest distance to the background (any zero-valued element).

    In addition to the distance transform, the feature transform can
    be calculated. In this case the index of the closest background
    element to each foreground element is returned in a separate array.

    Parameters
    ----------
    input : array_like
        Input
    metric : {'euclidean', 'taxicab', 'chessboard'}, optional
        'cityblock' and 'manhattan' are also valid, and map to 'taxicab'.
        The default is 'euclidean'.
    sampling : float, or sequence of float, optional
        This parameter is only used when `metric` is 'euclidean'.
        Spacing of elements along each dimension. If a sequence, must be of
        length equal to the input rank; if a single number, this is used for
        all axes. If not specified, a grid spacing of unity is implied.
    return_distances : bool, optional
        Whether to calculate the distance transform.
        Default is True.
    return_indices : bool, optional
        Whether to calculate the feature transform.
        Default is False.
    distances : ndarray, optional
        An output array to store the calculated distance transform, instead of
        returning it.
        `return_distances` must be True.
        It must be the same shape as `input`, and of type float64 if `metric`
        is 'euclidean', uint32 otherwise.
    indices : int32 ndarray, optional
        An output array to store the calculated feature transform, instead of
        returning it.
        `return_indicies` must be True.
        Its shape must be ``(input.ndim,) + input.shape``.

    Returns
    -------
    distances : ndarray, optional
        The calculated distance transform. Returned only when
        `return_distances` is True and `distances` is not supplied.
        It will have the same shape as the input array.
    indices : int32 ndarray, optional
        The calculated feature transform. It has an input-shaped array for each
        dimension of the input. See distance_transform_edt documentation for an
        example.

    Examples
    --------
    Import the necessary modules.

    >>> import numpy as np
    >>> from scipy.ndimage import distance_transform_bf
    >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    >>> from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 import ImageGrid

    First, we create a toy binary image.

    >>> def add_circle(center_x, center_y, radius, image, fillvalue=1):
    ...     # fill circular area with 1
    ...     xx, yy = np.mgrid[:image.shape[0], :image.shape[1]]
    ...     circle = (xx - center_x) ** 2 + (yy - center_y) ** 2
    ...     circle_shape = np.sqrt(circle) < radius
    ...     image[circle_shape] = fillvalue
    ...     return image
    >>> image = np.zeros((100, 100), dtype=np.uint8)
    >>> image[35:65, 20:80] = 1
    >>> image = add_circle(28, 65, 10, image)
    >>> image = add_circle(37, 30, 10, image)
    >>> image = add_circle(70, 45, 20, image)
    >>> image = add_circle(45, 80, 10, image)

    Next, we set up the figure.

    >>> fig = plt.figure(figsize=(8, 8))  # set up the figure structure
    >>> grid = ImageGrid(fig, 111, nrows_ncols=(2, 2), axes_pad=(0.4, 0.3),
    ...                  label_mode="1", share_all=True,

    ...                  cbar_size="7%", cbar_pad="2%")
    >>> for ax in grid:
    ...     ax.axis('off')  # remove axes from images

    The top left image is the original binary image.

    >>> binary_image = grid[0].imshow(image, cmap='gray')
    >>> cbar_binary_image = grid.cbar_axes[0].colorbar(binary_image)
    >>> cbar_binary_image.set_ticks([0, 1])
    >>> grid[0].set_title("Binary image: foreground in white")

    The distance transform calculates the distance between foreground pixels
    and the image background according to a distance metric. Available metrics
    in `distance_transform_bf` are: ``euclidean`` (default), ``taxicab``
    and ``chessboard``. The top right image contains the distance transform
    based on the ``euclidean`` metric.

    >>> distance_transform_euclidean = distance_transform_bf(image)
    >>> euclidean_transform = grid[1].imshow(distance_transform_euclidean,
    ...                                      cmap='gray')
    >>> cbar_euclidean = grid.cbar_axes[1].colorbar(euclidean_transform)
    >>> colorbar_ticks = [0, 10, 20]
    >>> cbar_euclidean.set_ticks(colorbar_ticks)
    >>> grid[1].set_title("Euclidean distance")

    The lower left image contains the distance transform using the ``taxicab``
    metric.

    >>> distance_transform_taxicab = distance_transform_bf(image,
    ...                                                    metric='taxicab')
    >>> taxicab_transformation = grid[2].imshow(distance_transform_taxicab,
    ...                                         cmap='gray')
    >>> cbar_taxicab = grid.cbar_axes[2].colorbar(taxicab_transformation)
    >>> cbar_taxicab.set_ticks(colorbar_ticks)
    >>> grid[2].set_title("Taxicab distance")

    Finally, the lower right image contains the distance transform using the
    ``chessboard`` metric.

    >>> distance_transform_cb = distance_transform_bf(image,
    ...                                               metric='chessboard')
    >>> chessboard_transformation = grid[3].imshow(distance_transform_cb,
    ...                                            cmap='gray')
    >>> cbar_taxicab = grid.cbar_axes[3].colorbar(chessboard_transformation)
    >>> cbar_taxicab.set_ticks(colorbar_ticks)
    >>> grid[3].set_title("Chessboard distance")

    Distance transform for chamfer type of transforms.

    This function calculates the distance transform of the `input`, by

    In addition to the distance transform, the feature transform can

    element to each foreground element is returned in a separate array.

    Parameters
    ----------
    input : array_like
        Input. Values of 0 are treated as background.
    metric : {'chessboard', 'taxicab'} or array_like, optional
        The `metric` determines the type of chamfering that is done. If the
        `metric` is equal to 'taxicab' a structure is generated using
        `generate_binary_structure` with a squared distance equal to 1. If
        the `metric` is equal to 'chessboard', a `metric` is generated
        using `generate_binary_structure` with a squared distance equal to
        the dimensionality of the array. These choices correspond to the
        common interpretations of the 'taxicab' and the 'chessboard'
        distance metrics in two dimensions.
        A custom metric may be provided, in the form of a matrix where
        each dimension has a length of three.
        'cityblock' and 'manhattan' are also valid, and map to 'taxicab'.
        The default is 'chessboard'.
    return_distances : bool, optional
        Whether to calculate the distance transform.
        Default is True.
    return_indices : bool, optional
        Whether to calculate the feature transform.
        Default is False.
    distances : int32 ndarray, optional
        An output array to store the calculated distance transform, instead of
        returning it.
        `return_distances` must be True.
        It must be the same shape as `input`.
    indices : int32 ndarray, optional
        An output array to store the calculated feature transform, instead of
        returning it.
        `return_indicies` must be True.
        Its shape must be ``(input.ndim,) + input.shape``.

    Returns
    -------
    distances : int32 ndarray, optional
        The calculated distance transform. Returned only when
        `return_distances` is True, and `distances` is not supplied.
        It will have the same shape as the input array.
    indices : int32 ndarray, optional
        The calculated feature transform. It has an input-shaped array for each
        dimension of the input. See distance_transform_edt documentation for an
        example.

    Exact Euclidean distance transform.

    This function calculates the distance transform of the `input`, by
    replacing each foreground (non-zero) element, with its
    shortest distance to the background (any zero-valued element).

    In addition to the distance transform, the feature transform can
    be calculated. In this case the index of the closest background
    element to each foreground element is returned in a separate array.

    Parameters
    ----------
    input : array_like
        Input data to transform. Can be any type but will be converted
        into binary: 1 wherever input equates to True, 0 elsewhere.
    sampling : float, or sequence of float, optional
        Spacing of elements along each dimension. If a sequence, must be of
        length equal to the input rank; if a single number, this is used for
        all axes. If not specified, a grid spacing of unity is implied.
    return_distances : bool, optional
        Whether to calculate the distance transform.
        Default is True.
    return_indices : bool, optional
        Whether to calculate the feature transform.
        Default is False.
    distances : float64 ndarray, optional
        An output array to store the calculated distance transform, instead of
        returning it.
        `return_distances` must be True.
        It must be the same shape as `input`.
    indices : int32 ndarray, optional
        An output array to store the calculated feature transform, instead of
        returning it.
        `return_indicies` must be True.
        Its shape must be ``(input.ndim,) + input.shape``.

    Returns
    -------
    distances : float64 ndarray, optional
        The calculated distance transform. Returned only when
        `return_distances` is True and `distances` is not supplied.
        It will have the same shape as the input array.
    indices : int32 ndarray, optional
        The calculated feature transform. It has an input-shaped array for each
        dimension of the input. See example below.
        Returned only when `return_indices` is True and `indices` is not
        supplied.

    Notes
    -----
    The Euclidean distance transform gives values of the Euclidean
    distance::

                    n
      y_i = sqrt(sum (x[i]-b[i])**2)
                    i

    where b[i] is the background point (value 0) with the smallest
    Euclidean distance to input points x[i], and n is the
    number of dimensions.
