List of all members.

## Detailed Description

### template<typename Iterator>
class boost::gil::memory_based_step_iterator< Iterator >

Iterator with dynamically specified step in memory units (bytes or bits). Models StepIteratorConcept, IteratorAdaptorConcept, MemoryBasedIteratorConcept, PixelIteratorConcept, HasDynamicXStepTypeConcept.

MEMORY-BASED STEP ITERATOR

A refinement of step_iterator_adaptor that uses a dynamic parameter for the step which is specified in memory units, such as bytes or bits

Pixel step iterators are used to provide iteration over non-adjacent pixels. Common use is a vertical traversal, where the step is the row stride.

Another application is as a sub-channel view. For example, a red intensity image over interleaved RGB data would use a step iterator adaptor with step sizeof(channel_t)*3 In the latter example the step size could be fixed at compile time for efficiency. Compile-time fixed step can be implemented by providing a step function object that takes the step as a template

## Member Function Documentation

reference operator[] | ( | difference_type | d | ) | const`[inline]`

For some reason operator[] provided by iterator_adaptor returns a custom class that is convertible to reference We require our own reference because it is registered in iterator_traits
