Example

From Michael De Vlieger, Dec 09 2015: (Start)
First 12 rows, replacing "1" with ".", ignoring "0" outside of range of 1's for better visibility of OFF cells, followed by total number of OFF cells per row and running total up to that row:
                        .                          =  0 ->   0
                      . . .                        =  0 ->   0
                    . 0 . 0 .                      =  2 ->   2
                  . . 0 . 0 . .                    =  2 ->   4
                . 0 0 0 . 0 0 0 .                  =  6 ->  10
