% Morpology is the the application of various kernals, of any size and even
% shape, to a image in various ways (typically binary, but not always).
%
% Convolution (weighted sum or average) is just one specific type of
% morphology. Just one that is very common for image bluring and sharpening
% effects.  Not only 2D Gaussian blurring, but also 2-pass 1D Blurring.
%
% This module provides not only a general morphology function, and the ability
% to apply more advanced or iterative morphologies, but also functions for the
% generation of many different types of kernel arrays from user supplied
% arguments. Prehaps even the generation of a kernel from a small image.

%  AcquireKernelInfo() takes the given string (generally supplied by the
%  user) and converts it into a Morphology/Convolution Kernel.  This allows
%  users to specify a kernel from a number of pre-defined kernels, or to fully
%  specify their own kernel for a specific Convolution or Morphology
%  Operation.
%
%  The kernel so generated can be any rectangular array of floating point
%  values (doubles) with the 'control point' or 'pixel being affected'
%  anywhere within that array of values.
%
%  Previously IM was restricted to a square of odd size using the exact
%  center as origin, this is no longer the case, and any rectangular kernel
%  with any value being declared the origin. This in turn allows the use of
%  highly asymmetrical kernels.
%
%  The floating point values in the kernel can also include a special value
%  known as 'nan' or 'not a number' to indicate that this value is not part
%  of the kernel array. This allows you to shaped the kernel within its
%  rectangular area. That is 'nan' values provide a 'mask' for the kernel
%  shape.  However at least one non-nan value must be provided for correct
%  working of a kernel.
%
%  The returned kernel should be free using the DestroyKernelInfo() when you
%  are finished with it.
%
%  Input kernel defintion strings can consist of any of three types.
%
%    "name:args"
%         Select from one of the built in kernels, using the name and
%         geometry arguments supplied.  See AcquireKernelBuiltIn()
%
%    "WxH[+X+Y]:num, num, num ..."
%         a kernal of size W by H, with W*H floating point numbers following.
%         the 'center' can be optionally be defined at +X+Y (such that +0+0
%         is top left corner). If not defined the pixel in the center, for
%         odd sizes, or to the immediate top or left of center for even sizes
%         is automatically selected.
%
%    "num, num, num, num, ..."
%         list of floating point numbers defining an 'old style' odd sized
%         square kernel.  At least 9 values should be provided for a 3x3
%         square kernel, 25 for a 5x5 square kernel, 49 for 7x7, etc.
%         Values can be space or comma separated.  This is not recommended.
%
%  Note that 'name' kernels will start with an alphabetic character while the
%  new kernel specification has a ':' character in its specification string.
%  If neither is the case, it is assumed an old style of a simple list of
%  numbers generating a odd-sized square kernel has been given.
%
%  The format of the AcquireKernal method is:
%
%      KernelInfo *AcquireKernelInfo(const char *kernel_string)
%
%  A description of each parameter follows:
%
%    o kernel_string: the Morphology/Convolution kernel wanted.

%
%  AcquireKernelBuiltIn() returned one of the 'named' built-in types of
%  kernels used for special purposes such as gaussian blurring, skeleton
%  pruning, and edge distance determination.
%
%  They take a KernelType, and a set of geometry style arguments, which were
%  typically decoded from a user supplied string, or from a more complex
%  Morphology Method that was requested.
%
%  The format of the AcquireKernalBuiltIn method is:
%
%      KernelInfo *AcquireKernelBuiltIn(const KernelInfoType type,
%           const GeometryInfo args)
%
%  A description of each parameter follows:
%
%    o type: the pre-defined type of kernel wanted
%
%    o args: arguments defining or modifying the kernel
%
%  Convolution Kernels
%
%    Gaussian  "{radius},{sigma}"
%       Generate a two-dimentional gaussian kernel, as used by -gaussian
%       A sigma is required, (with the 'x'), due to historical reasons.
%
%       NOTE: that the 'radius' is optional, but if provided can limit (clip)
%       the final size of the resulting kernel to a square 2*radius+1 in size.
%       The radius should be at least 2 times that of the sigma value, or
%       sever clipping and aliasing may result.  If not given or set to 0 the
%       radius will be determined so as to produce the best minimal error
%       result, which is usally much larger than is normally needed.
%
%    Blur  "{radius},{sigma},{angle}"
%       As per Gaussian, but generates a 1 dimensional or linear gaussian
%       blur, at the angle given (current restricted to orthogonal angles).
%       If a 'radius' is given the kernel is clipped to a width of 2*radius+1.
%
%       NOTE that two such blurs perpendicular to each other is equivelent to
%       -blur and the previous gaussian, but is often 10 or more times faster.
%
%    Comet  "{width},{sigma},{angle}"
%       Blur in one direction only, mush like how a bright object leaves
%       a comet like trail.  The Kernel is actually half a gaussian curve,
%       Adding two such blurs in oppiste directions produces a Linear Blur.
%
%       NOTE: that the first argument is the width of the kernel and not the
%       radius of the kernel.
%
%    # Still to be implemented...
%    #
%    # Sharpen "{radius},{sigma}
%    #    Negated Gaussian (center zeroed and re-normalized),
%    #    with a 2 unit positive peak.   -- Check On line documentation

%  Boolean Kernels
%
%    Rectangle "{geometry}"
%       Simply generate a rectangle of 1's with the size given. You can also
%       specify the location of the 'control point', otherwise the closest
%       pixel to the center of the rectangle is selected.
%
%       Properly centered and odd sized rectangles work the best.
%
%    Diamond  "[{radius}[,{scale}]]"
%       Generate a diamond shaped kernal with given radius to the points.
%       Kernel size will again be radius*2+1 square and defaults to radius 1,
%       generating a 3x3 kernel that is slightly larger than a square.
%
%    Square  "[{radius}[,{scale}]]"
%       Generate a square shaped kernel of size radius*2+1, and defaulting
%       to a 3x3 (radius 1).
%
%       Note that using a larger radius for the "Square" or the "Diamond"
%       is also equivelent to iterating the basic morphological method
%       that many times. However However iterating with the smaller radius 1
%       default is actually faster than using a larger kernel radius.
%
%    Disk   "[{radius}[,{scale}]]
%       Generate a binary disk of the radius given, radius may be a float.
%       Kernel size will be ceil(radius)*2+1 square.
%       NOTE: Here are some disk shapes of specific interest
%          "disk:1"    => "diamond" or "cross:1"
%          "disk:1.5"  => "square"
%          "disk:2"    => "diamond:2"
%          "disk:2.5"  => a general disk shape of radius 2
%          "disk:2.9"  => "square:2"
%          "disk:3.5"  => default - octagonal/disk shape of radius 3
%          "disk:4.2"  => roughly octagonal shape of radius 4
%          "disk:4.3"  => a general disk shape of radius 4
%       After this all the kernel shape becomes more and more circular.
%
%       Because a "disk" is more circular when using a larger radius, using a
%       larger radius is preferred over iterating the morphological operation.
%
%    Plus  "[{radius}[,{scale}]]"
%       Generate a kernel in the shape of a 'plus' sign. The length of each
%       arm is also the radius, which defaults to 2.
%
%       This kernel is not a good general morphological kernel, but is used
%       more for highlighting and marking any single pixels in an image using,
%       a "Dilate" or "Erode" method as appropriate.
%
%       NOTE: "plus:1" is equivelent to a "Diamond" kernel.
%
%       Note that unlike other kernels iterating a plus does not produce the
%       same result as using a larger radius for the cross.
%
%  Distance Measuring Kernels
%
%    Chebyshev "[{radius}][x{scale}]"   largest x or y distance (default r=1)
%    Manhatten "[{radius}][x{scale}]"   square grid distance    (default r=1)
%    Euclidean "[{radius}][x{scale}]"   direct distance         (default r=1)
%
%       Different types of distance measuring methods, which are used with the
%       a 'Distance' morphology method for generating a gradient based on
%       distance from an edge of a binary shape, though there is a technique
%       for handling a anti-aliased shape.
%
%       Chebyshev Distance (also known as Tchebychev Distance) is a value of
%       one to any neighbour, orthogonal or diagonal. One why of thinking of
%       it is the number of squares a 'King' or 'Queen' in chess needs to
%       traverse reach any other position on a chess board.  It results in a
%       'square' like distance function, but one where diagonals are closer
%       than expected.
%
%       Manhatten Distance (also known as Rectilinear Distance, or the Taxi
%       Cab metric), is the distance needed when you can only travel in
%       orthogonal (horizontal or vertical) only.  It is the distance a 'Rook'
%       in chess would travel. It results in a diamond like distances, where
%       diagonals are further than expected.
%
%       Euclidean Distance is the 'direct' or 'as the crow flys distance.
%       However by default the kernel size only has a radius of 1, which
%       limits the distance to 'Knight' like moves, with only orthogonal and
%       diagonal measurements being correct.  As such for the default kernel
%       you will get octagonal like distance function, which is reasonally
%       accurate.
%
%       However if you use a larger radius such as "Euclidean:4" you will
%       get a much smoother distance gradient from the edge of the shape.
%       Of course a larger kernel is slower to use, and generally not needed.
%
%       To allow the use of fractional distances that you get with diagonals
%       the actual distance is scaled by a fixed value which the user can
%       provide.  This is not actually nessary for either ""Chebyshev" or
%       "Manhatten" distance kernels, but is done for all three distance
%       kernels.  If no scale is provided it is set to a value of 100,
%       allowing for a maximum distance measurement of 655 pixels using a Q16
%       version of IM, from any edge.  However for small images this can
%       result in quite a dark gradient.
%
%       See the 'Distance' Morphological Method, for information of how it is
%       applied.
