## Detailed Description

Helper class that stores edgel attributes.

## Member Data Documentation

float orientation

The edgel's orientation. This is the angle between the x-axis and the edge, so that the bright side of the edge is on the right. The angle is measured counter-clockwise in radians like this:

      edgel axis
          \  (bright side)
     (dark \
     side)  \ /__
             \\  \ orientation angle
              \  |
               +------------> x-axis
               |
               |
               |
               |
        y-axis V

So, for example a vertical edge with its dark side on the left has orientation PI/2, and a horizontal edge with dark side on top has orientation 0. Obviously, the edge's orientation changes by PI if the contrast is reversed.

float strength

| The edgel's strength (magnitude of the gradient vector).

float x

| The edgel's sub-pixel x coordinate.

float y

| The edgel's sub-pixel y coordinate.
