/**
 * @class   vtkLinkEdgels
 * @brief   links edgels together to form digital curves.
 *
 * vtkLinkEdgels links edgels into digital curves which are then stored
 * as polylines. The algorithm works one pixel at a time only looking at
 * its immediate neighbors. There is a GradientThreshold that can be set
 * that eliminates any pixels with a smaller gradient value. This can
 * be used as the lower threshold of a two value edgel thresholding.
 *
 * For the remaining edgels, links are first tried for the four
 * connected neighbors.  A successful neighbor will satisfy three
 * tests. First both edgels must be above the gradient
 * threshold. Second, the difference between the orientation between
 * the two edgels (Alpha) and each edgels orientation (Phi) must be
 * less than LinkThreshold. Third, the difference between the two
 * edgels Phi values must be less than PhiThreshold.
 * The most successful link is selected. The measure is simply the
 * sum of the three angle differences (actually stored as the sum of
 * the cosines). If none of the four connect neighbors succeeds, then
 * the eight connect neighbors are examined using the same method.
 *
 * This filter requires gradient information so you will need to use
 * a vtkImageGradient at some point prior to this filter.  Typically
 * a vtkNonMaximumSuppression filter is also used. vtkThresholdEdgels
 * can be used to complete the two value edgel thresholding as used
 * in a Canny edge detector. The vtkSubpixelPositionEdgels filter
 * can also be used after this filter to adjust the edgel locations.
