## Detailed Description

template<class T, class Alloc>
class vigra::ArrayVector< T, Alloc >

Replacement for `std::vector`.

This template implements the same functionality as `std::vector` (see there for detailed documentation). However, it gives two useful guarantees, that `std::vector` fails to provide:

- The memory is always allocated as one contiguous piece.
- The iterator is always a `T *`

This means that memory managed by `ArrayVector` can be passed to algorithms that expect raw memory. This is especially important when legacy or C code has to be called, but it is also useful for certain optimizations.

Moreover, `ArrayVector` is derived from `ArrayVectorView` so that one can create views of the array (in particular, subarrays). This implies another important difference to `std::vector`: the indexing operator (`ArrayVector::operator[]`) takes `signed` indices. In this way, an `ArrayVectorView` can be used with negative indices:

ArrayVector<int> data(100);
ArrayVectorView<int> view = data.subarray(50, 100);
view[-50] = 1; // valid access
vigra::ArrayVectorView::data
const_pointer data() const
Definition array_vector.hxx:209
vigra::RGBValue
Class for a single RGB value.
Definition rgbvalue.hxx:128
vigra::TinyVectorBase::subarray
TinyVectorView< VALUETYPE, TO-FROM > subarray() const
Definition tinyvector.hxx:887

Refer to the documentation of `std::vector` for a detailed description of `ArrayVector` functionality.
