/** \brief Two dimensional difference vector.

    This class acts primarily as a difference vector for specifying
    pixel coordinates and region sizes. In addition, Diff2D fulfills
    the requirements of an \ref ImageIterator, so that it can be used to
    simulate an image whose pixels' values equal their coordinates. This
    secondary usage is explained on page \ref CoordinateIterator.

    Standard usage as a difference vector is mainly needed in the context
    of images. For example, Diff2D may be used as an index for <TT>operator[]</TT>:

    \code
    vigra::Diff2D location(...);

    value = image[location];
    \endcode

    This is especially important in connection with accessors, where the
    offset variant of <TT>operator()</TT> takes only one offset object:

    \code
    // accessor(iterator, dx, dy); is not allowed
    value = accessor(iterator, vigra::Diff2D(dx, dy));
    \endcode


    Diff2D is also returned by <TT>image.size()</TT>, so that we can create
    new images by calculating their size using Diff2D's arithmetic
    functions:

    \code
    // create an image that is 10 pixels smaller in each direction
    Image new_image(old_image.size() - Diff2D(10,10));
    \endcode

/** \brief Two dimensional rectangle.

    This class stores a 2-dimensional rectangular range or region. Thus,
    it follows the VIGRA convention that the upper left corner is inside
    the rectangle, while the lower right is 1 pixel to the right and below the
    last pixel in the rectangle.

    A major advantage of this class is that it can be constructed from either
    a pair of \ref Point2D, or from a \ref Point2D and an extend
    (\ref Size2D). Rect2D overloads operators |=, &=, |, & to realize set
    union (in the sense of a minimal bounding rectangle) and set intersection.

    \code
    Rect2D r1(Point2D(0,0), Point2D(10, 20)),
           r2(Point2D(10, 15), Size2D(20, 20));
    Point2D p(0,100);

    Rect2D r3 =  r1 | r2; // upper left is (0,0), lower right is (30, 35)
    assert(r3.contains(r2));
    assert(!r3.contains(p));

    r3 |= p;       // lower right now (30,101) so that p is inside r3
    assert(r3.contains(p));
