/** \brief Export associated information for each image iterator.

    The IteratorTraits class contains the following fields:

    \code
    template <class T>
    struct IteratorTraits
    {
        typedef T                                     Iterator;
        typedef Iterator                              iterator;
        typedef typename iterator::iterator_category  iterator_category;
        typedef typename iterator::value_type         value_type;
        typedef typename iterator::reference          reference;
        typedef typename iterator::index_reference    index_reference;
        typedef typename iterator::pointer            pointer;
        typedef typename iterator::difference_type    difference_type;
        typedef typename iterator::row_iterator       row_iterator;
        typedef typename iterator::column_iterator    column_iterator;
        typedef typename
         AccessorTraits<value_type>::default_accessor DefaultAccessor;
        typedef DefaultAccessor                       default_accessor;

        typedef VigraTrueType/VigraFalseType          hasConstantStrides;
    };
    \endcode

    By (partially) specializing this template for an iterator class
    the defaults given above can be changed as appropriate. For example, iterators
    for rgb images are associated with <TT>RGBAccessor<value_type></TT>
    instead of <TT>StandardAccessor<value_type></TT>. To get the accessor
    associated with a given iterator, use code like this:

    \code
    template <class Iterator>
    void foo(Iterator i)
    {
        typedef typename IteratorTraits<Iterator>::DefaultAccessor Accessor;
        Accessor a;
        ...
    }
    \endcode

    This technique is, for example, used by the
    \ref IteratorBasedArgumentObjectFactories. The possibility to retrieve the default accessor by means of a traits
    class is especially important since this information is not
    contained in the iterator directly.
    
    The member <tt>hasConstantStrides</tt> is useful for certain 
    optimizations: it helps to decide whether we can replace iterator
    operations such as <tt>iter++</tt> or <tt>iter += n</tt> with
    corresponding pointer operations (which may be faster), where
    the pointer is obtained as the address of iterator's pointee 
    (the object the iterator currently  refers to). 
    This flag would be <tt>VigraFalseType</tt> for a
    <tt>std::list<int>::iterator</tt>, but is <tt>VigraTrueType</tt> 
    for most VIGRA iterators.

/** \page ArgumentObjectFactories Argument Object Factories

    Factory functions to create argument objects which simplify long argument lists.

    <UL style="list-style-image:url(documents/bullet.gif)">
    <LI> \ref ImageBasedArgumentObjectFactories
    <LI> \ref MultiArrayBasedArgumentObjectFactories
    <LI> \ref IteratorBasedArgumentObjectFactories
    </UL>

    Long argument lists provide for greater flexibility of functions,
    but they are also tedious and error prone, when we don't need
    the flexibility. Thus, we define argument objects which
    automatically provide reasonable defaults for those arguments that we
    didn't specify explicitly.

    The argument objects are created via a number of factory functions.
    Since these functions have descriptive names, they also serve
    to improve readability: the name of each factory tells te purpose of its
    argument object.

    Consider the following example. Without argument objects we had to
    write something like this (cf. \ref copyImageIf()):

    \code
    vigra::BImage img1, img2, img3;

    // fill img1 and img2 ...

    vigra::copyImageIf(img1.upperLeft(), img1.lowerRight(), img1.accessor(),
                img2.upperLeft(), img2.accessor(),
                img3.upperLeft(), img3.accessor());
    \endcode

    Using the argument object factories, this becomes much shorter and
    more readable:

    \code
    vigra::copyImageIf(srcImageRange(img1),
                maskImage(img2),
                destImage(img3));
    \endcode

    The names of the factories clearly tell which image is source, mask,
    and destination. In addition, the suffix <TT>Range</TT> must be used
    for those argument objects that need to specify the lower right
    corner of the region of interest. Typically, this is only the first
    source argument, but sometimes the first destiniation argument must
    also contain a range.

    The factory functions come in two flavours: Iterator based and
    image based factories. Above we have seen the image based variant.
    The iterator based variant would look like this:

    \code
    vigra::copyImageIf(srcIterRange(img1.upperLeft(), img1.lowerRight()),
                maskIter(img2.upperLeft()),
                destIter(img3.upperLeft()));
    \endcode

    These factory functions contain the word <TT>Iter</TT> instead of the word
    <TT>Image</TT>,  They would normally be used if we couldn't access the
    images (for example, within a function which got passed iterators)
    or if we didn't want to operate on the entire image. The default
    accessor is obtained via \ref vigra::IteratorTraits.

    All factory functions also allow to specify accessors explicitly. This
    is useful if we can't use the default accessor. This variant looks
    like this:

    \code
    vigra::copyImageIf(srcImageRange(img1),
                maskImage(img2, MaskPredicateAccessor()),
                destImage(img3));
    \endcode

    or

    \code
    vigra::copyImageIf(srcIterRange(img1.upperLeft(), img1.lowerRight()),
                maskIter(img2.upperLeft(), MaskPredicateAccessor()),
                destIter(img3.upperLeft()));
    \endcode

    All versions can be mixed freely within one expression.
    Technically, the argument objects are simply defined as
    pairs and triples of iterators and accessor so that all algorithms
    should declare a call interface version based on pairs and triples
    (see for example \ref copyImageIf()).
