## Detailed Description

Encapsulation of direction management for the 8-neighborhood.

This helper class allows the transformation between Freeman chain codes (East = 0, NorthEast = 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
        EightNeighborhood::NeighborCode::Direction d = EightNeighborhood::NeighborCode::East;
        EightNeighborCode::Direction d               = EightNeighborCode::East;
        EightNeighborhood::Direction d               = EightNeighborhood::East;

or you can fix 8-neighborhood by importing the entire namespace in your function:

        using namespace EightNeighborhood;

        Direction d = East;

If you want to pass 8-neighborhood codes as a template parameter, use the class EightNeighborhood::NeighborCode.

#include "vigra/pixelneighborhood.hxx"
Namespace: vigra::EightNeighborhood

## Member Enumeration Documentation

enum Direction

  | Freeman direction codes for the 8-neighborhood. East = 0, NorthEast = 1 etc. DirectionCount may be used for portable loop termination conditions. Enumeration values:
  Error |
  East |
  NorthEast |
  North |
  NorthWest |
  West |
  SouthWest |
  South |
  SouthEast |
  DirectionCount |

## Member Function Documentation

Diff2D const& bottom | ( |  | ) | `[inline, static]`

| Offset to the bottom neighbor

Diff2D const& bottomLeft | ( |  | ) | `[inline, static]`

| Offset to the bottomLeft neighbor

Diff2D const& bottomRight | ( |  | ) | `[inline, static]`

| Offset to the bottomRight neighbor

Direction code | ( | Diff2D const & | diff | ) | `[inline, static]`

| Transform Diff2D offset into corresponding direction code. The code `Direction::Error` will be returned if `diff` is not in the 8-neighborhood.

Direction code | ( | FourNeighborhood::Direction | d | ) | `[inline, static]`

| Transform 4-neighborhood code into 8-neighborhood code.

Diff2D const& diff | ( | int | code | ) | `[inline, static]`

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

Diff2D const& diff | ( | Direction | code | ) | `[inline, static]`

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

int dX | ( | int | code | ) | `[inline, static]`

| X-component of diff()

int dX | ( | Direction | code | ) | `[inline, static]`

| X-component of diff()

int dY | ( | int | code | ) | `[inline, static]`

| Y-component of diff()

int dY | ( | Direction | code | ) | `[inline, static]`

| Y-component of diff()

Diff2D const& east | ( |  | ) | `[inline, static]`

| Offset to the east neighbor

bool isDiagonal | ( | Direction | code | ) | `[inline, static]`

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

Diff2D const& left | ( |  | ) | `[inline, static]`

| Offset to the left neighbor

Diff2D const& north | ( |  | ) | `[inline, static]`

| Offset to the north neighbor

Diff2D const& northEast | ( |  | ) | `[inline, static]`

| Offset to the northEast neighbor

Diff2D const& northWest | ( |  | ) | `[inline, static]`

| Offset to the northWest neighbor

Diff2D const& relativeDiff | ( | int | fromCode,
|  | int | toCode
| ) | `[inline, static]`

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

Diff2D const& relativeDiff | ( | Direction | fromCode,
|  | Direction | toCode
| ) | `[inline, 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.)

Diff2D const& right | ( |  | ) | `[inline, static]`

| Offset to the right neighbor

Diff2D const& south | ( |  | ) | `[inline, static]`

| Offset to the south neighbor

Diff2D const& southEast | ( |  | ) | `[inline, static]`

| Offset to the southEast neighbor

Diff2D const& southWest | ( |  | ) | `[inline, static]`

| Offset to the southWest neighbor

Diff2D const& top | ( |  | ) | `[inline, static]`

| Offset to the top neighbor

Diff2D const& topLeft | ( |  | ) | `[inline, static]`

| Offset to the topLeft neighbor

Diff2D const& topRight | ( |  | ) | `[inline, static]`

| Offset to the topRight neighbor

Diff2D const& west | ( |  | ) | `[inline, static]`

| Offset to the west neighbor
