Detailed Description

Class to specify which mask to use in an image.

Intended use:

Public interface

Review Status

Test programs:

tPagedImage

Synopsis

The only purpose of MaskSpecifier is to reduce the number of constructors in PagedImage. It makes it possible to specify if no mask, the default mask, or another mask should be used when opening an existing PagedImage object.

Because the constructors automatically converts from a Bool or a String, the user does not need to be aware of MaskSpecifier.

Motivation

The number of constructors in PagedImage would be many more without this class. It would need one taking a Bool and a String. Because C++ converts a const char* to Bool instead of String, a const char* would also be needed multiple times.
