## Detailed Description

Encapsulation of direction management for 4-neighborhood.

This helper class allows the transformation between Freeman chain codes (East = 0, North = 1 etc.) and the corresponding Diff2D instances and back.

You can either use the chain codes by explicit qualification:

// the following three lines are equivalent
FourNeighborhood::NeighborCode::Direction d = FourNeighborhood::NeighborCode::East;
FourNeighborCode::Direction d = FourNeighborCode::East;
FourNeighborhood::Direction d = FourNeighborhood::East;

or you can fix 4-neighborhood by importing the entire namespace in your function:

using namespace FourNeighborhood;
Direction d = East;

If you want to pass 4-neighborhood codes as a template parameter, use the class FourNeighborhood::NeighborCode.

#include <vigra/pixelneighborhood.hxx>
Namespace: vigra::FourNeighborhood

## Member Enumeration Documentation

enum Direction

Freeman direction codes for the 4-neighborhood. `East = 0`, `North = 1` etc. `DirectionCount` may be used for portable loop termination conditions. `CausalFirst` and `CausalLast` are the first and last (inclusive) neighbors in the causal neighborhood, i.e. in the set of neighbors that have already been visited when the image is traversed in scan order. `AntiCausalFirst` and `AntiCausalLast` are the opposite.

## Member Function Documentation

static unsigned int nearBorderDirectionCount | ( | AtImageBorder | b | ) |
| static

The number of valid neighbors if the current center is at the image border.

static Direction nearBorderDirections | ( | AtImageBorder | b,
|  | int | index
| ) |  |
| static

The valid direction codes when the center is at the image border. index must be in the range `0...nearBorderDirectionCount(b)-1`.

static Diff2D const& diff | ( | Direction | code | ) |
| static

Transform direction code into corresponding Diff2D offset. (note: there is no bounds checking on the code you pass.)

static Diff2D const& diff | ( | int | code | ) |
| static

Equivalent to `diff(static_cast<Direction>(code))`. (note: there is no bounds checking on the code you pass.)

static Diff2D const& relativeDiff | ( | Direction | fromCode,
|  | Direction | toCode
| ) |  |
| static

Get the relative offset from one neighbor to the other. For example, `relativeDiff(East, West) == Diff2D(-2,0)`. (note: there is no bounds checking on the code you pass.)

static Diff2D const& relativeDiff | ( | int | fromCode,
|  | int | toCode
| ) |  |
| static

Equivalent to relativeDiff(static_cast<Direction>(fromCode), static_cast<Direction>(toCode)). (note: there is no bounds checking on the code you pass.)

static int dX | ( | Direction | code | ) |
| static

X-component of diff()

static int dY | ( | Direction | code | ) |
| static

Y-component of diff()

static int dX | ( | int | code | ) |
| static

X-component of diff()

static int dY | ( | int | code | ) |
| static

Y-component of diff()

static Direction code | ( | Diff2D const & | diff | ) |
| static

Transform Diff2D offset into corresponding direction code. The code `Direction::Error` will be returned if `diff` is not in the 4-neighborhood.

static bool isDiagonal | ( | Direction |  | ) |
| static

Check whether a code refers to a diagonal direction. Useful if you want to abstract the differences between 4- and 8-neighborhood. Always `false` for 4-neighborhood.

static Diff2D const& right | ( |  | ) |
| static

Offset to the right neighbor

static Diff2D const& top | ( |  | ) |
| static

Offset to the top neighbor

static Diff2D const& left | ( |  | ) |
| static

Offset to the left neighbor

static Diff2D const& bottom | ( |  | ) |
| static

Offset to the bottom neighbor

static Diff2D const& east | ( |  | ) |
| static

Offset to the east neighbor

static Diff2D const& north | ( |  | ) |
| static

Offset to the north neighbor

static Diff2D const& west | ( |  | ) |
| static

Offset to the west neighbor

static Diff2D const& south | ( |  | ) |
| static

Offset to the south neighbor
