58 // <synopsis>
59 // This is an abstract base class for the collapsing of lines to
60 // be used in function <src>lineApply</src> or <src>lineMultiApply</src>
61 // in class <linkto class=LatticeApply>LatticeApply</linkto>.
62 // It is meant for cases where the entire line is needed (e.g. moment
63 // calculation). If that is not needed (e.g. to calculate maximum),
64 // it is better to use function <src>LatticeApply::tiledApply</src>
65 // with class <linkto class=TiledCollapser>TiledCollapser</linkto>.
66 // <p>
67 // The user has to derive a concrete class from this base class
68 // and implement the (pure) virtual functions.
69 // <br> The main function is <src>process</src>, which needs to do the
70 // calculation.
71 // <br> Other functions make it possible to perform an initial check.
72 // <p>
73 // The class is Doubly templated. Ths first template type
74 // is for the data type you are processing. The second type is
75 // for what type you want the results of the processing assigned to.
76 // For example, if you are computing sums of squares for statistical
77 // purposes, you might use higher precision (FLoat->Double) for this.
78 // No check is made that the template types are self-consistent.
