/** \class FlatStructuringElement
 * \brief A class to support a variety of flat structuring elements,
 * including versions created by decomposition of lines.
 *
 * FlatStructuringElement provides several static methods, which can
 * be used to create a structuring element with a particular shape,
 * size, etc. Currently, those methods enable the creation of the following
 * structuring elements: ball, box, cross, annulus, or polygon.
 * Polygons are available as fast approximations of balls using line
 * decompositions. Boxes also use line decompositions.
 *
 * "Flat" refers to binary as opposed to grayscale structuring elements. Flat
 * structuring elements can be used for both binary and grayscale images.
 *
 * A Neighborhood has an N-dimensional \em radius.  The radius is defined
 * separately for each dimension as the number of pixels that the neighborhood
 * extends outward from the center pixel.  For example, a 2D Neighborhood
 * object with a radius of 2x3 has sides of length 5x7.
 * However, in the case of balls and annuli, this definition is slightly
 * different from the parametric definition of those objects.
 * For example, an ellipse of radius 2x3 has a diameter of 4x6, not 5x7.
 * To have a diameter of 5x7, the radius would need to increase by 0.5
 * in each dimension.
 * Thus, the "radius" of the neighborhood and the "radius" of the
 * object should be distinguished.
 *
 * To accomplish this, the "ball" and "annulus" structuring elements
 * have an optional flag called "radiusIsParametric" (off by default).
 * Setting this flag to true will use the parametric definition of the object
 * and will generate structuring elements with more accurate areas,
 * which can be especially important when morphological operations are
 * intended to remove or retain objects of particular sizes.
 * When the mode is turned off (default), the radius is the same, but the object
 * diameter is set to (radius*2)+1, which is the size of the neighborhood region.
 * Thus, the original ball and annulus structuring
 * elements have a systematic bias in the radius of +0.5 voxels in each dimension
 * relative to the parametric definition of the radius.
 * Thus, we recommend turning this mode on for more accurate structuring elements,
 * but this mode is turned off by default for backward compatibility.
 *
 * As an example, a 3D ball of radius 5 should have an area of 523.
 * With this mode turned on, the number of "on" pixels is 515 (error 1.6%),
 * but with it turned off, the area is 739 (error 41%).
 * For a 3D annulus of radius 5 and thickness 2, the area should be 410.
 * With this mode turned on, the area is 392 (error 4.5%),
 * but when turned off it is 560 (error 36%).
 * This same trend holds for balls and annuli of any radius or dimension.
 * For more detailed experiments with this mode, please refer to the results of the
 * test itkFlatStructuringElementTest.cxx or the wiki example.
