We'll go row by row from top to bottom, determining and outputting each one as we go.

The first row consists of R-1 #'s followed by one ..

The next R-2 rows each consist of one #, followed by R-2 .'s, followed by one #.

The next row is the same as the first row.

Finally, R-1 rows remain. The i-th of these contains a # in column 1 and another in column i+1. In other words, it consists of one #, followed by i-1 .'s, followed by one #, followed by R-i-1 .'s.
