50 The IteratorTraits class contains the following fields:
51
52 \code
53 template <class T>
54 struct IteratorTraits
55 {
56 typedef T Iterator;
57 typedef Iterator iterator;
58 typedef typename iterator::iterator_category iterator_category;
59 typedef typename iterator::value_type value_type;
60 typedef typename iterator::reference reference;
61 typedef typename iterator::index_reference index_reference;
62 typedef typename iterator::pointer pointer;
63 typedef typename iterator::difference_type difference_type;
64 typedef typename iterator::row_iterator row_iterator;
65 typedef typename iterator::column_iterator column_iterator;
66 typedef typename
67 AccessorTraits<value_type>::default_accessor DefaultAccessor;
68 typedef DefaultAccessor default_accessor;
69
70 typedef VigraTrueType/VigraFalseType hasConstantStrides;
71 };
72 \endcode
73
74 By (partially) specializing this template for an iterator class
75 the defaults given above can be changed as appropriate. For example, iterators
76 for rgb images are associated with <TT>RGBAccessor<value_type></TT>
77 instead of <TT>StandardAccessor<value_type></TT>. To get the accessor
78 associated with a given iterator, use code like this:
79
80 \code
81 template <class Iterator>
82 void foo(Iterator i)
83 {
84 typedef typename IteratorTraits<Iterator>::DefaultAccessor Accessor;
85 Accessor a;
86 ...
87 }
88 \endcode
89
90 This technique is, for example, used by the
91 \ref IteratorBasedArgumentObjectFactories. The possibility to retrieve the default accessor by means of a traits
92 class is especially important since this information is not
93 contained in the iterator directly.
94
95 The member <tt>hasConstantStrides</tt> is useful for certain
96 optimizations: it helps to decide whether we can replace iterator
97 operations such as <tt>iter++</tt> or <tt>iter += n</tt> with
98 corresponding pointer operations (which may be faster), where
99 the pointer is obtained as the address of iterator's pointee
100 (the object the iterator currently refers to).
101 This flag would be <tt>VigraFalseType</tt> for a
102 <tt>std::list<int>::iterator</tt>, but is <tt>VigraTrueType</tt>
103 for most VIGRA iterators.

151
152 Factory functions to create argument objects which simplify long argument lists.
153
154 <UL style="list-style-image:url(documents/bullet.gif)">
155 <LI> \ref ImageBasedArgumentObjectFactories
156 <LI> \ref MultiArrayBasedArgumentObjectFactories
157 <LI> \ref IteratorBasedArgumentObjectFactories
158 </UL>
159
160 Long argument lists provide for greater flexibility of functions,
161 but they are also tedious and error prone, when we don't need
162 the flexibility. Thus, we define argument objects which
163 automatically provide reasonable defaults for those arguments that we
164 didn't specify explicitly.
165
166 The argument objects are created via a number of factory functions.
167 Since these functions have descriptive names, they also serve
168 to improve readability: the name of each factory tells the purpose of its
169 argument object.
170
171 Consider the following example. Without argument objects we had to
172 write something like this (cf. \ref copyImageIf()):
173
174 \code
175 vigra::BImage img1, img2, img3;
176
177 // fill img1 and img2 ...
178
179 vigra::copyImageIf(img1.upperLeft(), img1.lowerRight(), img1.accessor(),
180 img2.upperLeft(), img2.accessor(),
181 img3.upperLeft(), img3.accessor());
182 \endcode
183
184 Using the argument object factories, this becomes much shorter and
185 more readable:
186
187 \code
188 vigra::copyImageIf(srcImageRange(img1),
189 maskImage(img2),
190 destImage(img3));
191 \endcode
192
193 The names of the factories clearly tell which image is source, mask,
194 and destination. In addition, the suffix <TT>Range</TT> must be used
195 for those argument objects that need to specify the lower right
196 corner of the region of interest. Typically, this is only the first
197 source argument, but sometimes the first destiniation argument must
198 also contain a range.
199
200 The factory functions come in two flavours: Iterator based and
201 image based factories. Above we have seen the image based variant.
202 The iterator based variant would look like this:
203
204 \code
205 vigra::copyImageIf(srcIterRange(img1.upperLeft(), img1.lowerRight()),
206 maskIter(img2.upperLeft()),
207 destIter(img3.upperLeft()));
208 \endcode
209
210 These factory functions contain the word <TT>Iter</TT> instead of the word
211 <TT>Image</TT>, They would normally be used if we couldn't access the
212 images (for example, within a function which got passed iterators)
213 or if we didn't want to operate on the entire image. The default
214 accessor is obtained via \ref vigra::IteratorTraits.
215
216 All factory functions also allow to specify accessors explicitly. This
217 is useful if we can't use the default accessor. This variant looks
218 like this:
219
220 \code
221 vigra::copyImageIf(srcImageRange(img1),
222 maskImage(img2, MaskPredicateAccessor()),
223 destImage(img3));
224 \endcode
225
226 or
227
228 \code
229 vigra::copyImageIf(srcIterRange(img1.upperLeft(), img1.lowerRight()),
230 maskIter(img2.upperLeft(), MaskPredicateAccessor()),
231 destIter(img3.upperLeft()));
232 \endcode
233
234 All versions can be mixed freely within one expression.
235 Technically, the argument objects are simply defined as
236 pairs and triples of iterators and accessor so that all algorithms
237 should declare a call interface version based on pairs and triples
238 (see for example \ref copyImageIf()).

245 These factories can be used to create argument objects when we
246 are given instances or subclasses of \ref vigra::BasicImage (see
247 \ref StandardImageTypes for instances defined per default).
248 These factory functions access <TT>img.upperLeft()</TT>,
249 <TT>img.lowerRight()</TT>, and <TT>img.accessor()</TT> to obtain the iterators
250 and accessor for the given image (unless the accessor is
251 given explicitly). The following factory functions are provided:
