Method Detail

contour

public List<Pixel> contour(FImage image,
                           Pixel start,
                           Pixel from)

Follow the contour, adding each pixel to a list. The first pixel in the list is guaranteed to the be equal to start

Parameters:

image - the image

start - the starting point on the contour

from - the pixel that was not a contour

Returns:

a list of contour pixels in the image starting from the start pixel

contour

public abstract void contour(FImage image,
                             Pixel start,
                             Pixel from,
                             Operation<Pixel> operation)

Given some starting pixel in an image on a contour and the direction of a non starting image, return each pixel on a contour from the start pixel in the image. The first pixel returned must be the start pixel

Parameters:

image - the image

start - the first point on the contour

from - the pixel that was not a contour

operation - the thing to do for each contour pixel found
