 *     Border finding is tricky because components can have
 *     holes, which also need to be traced out.  The outer
 *     border can be connected with all the hole borders,
 *     so that there is a single border for each component.
 *     [Alternatively, the connecting paths can be eliminated if
 *     you're willing to have a set of borders for each
 *     component (an exterior border and some number of
 *     interior ones), with "line to" operations tracing
 *     out each border and "move to" operations going from
 *     one border to the next.]
 *
 *     Here's the plan.  We get the pix for each connected
 *     component, and trace its exterior border.  We then
 *     find the holes (if any) in the pix, and separately
 *     trace out their borders, all using the same
 *     border-following rule that has ON pixels on the right
 *     side of the path.
 *
 *     [For svg, we may want to turn each set of borders for a c.c.
 *     into a closed path.  This can be done by tunnelling
 *     through the component from the outer border to each of the
 *     holes, going in and coming out along the same path so
 *     the connection will be invisible in any rendering
 *     (display or print) from the outline.  The result is a
 *     closed path, where the outside border is traversed
 *     cw and each hole is traversed ccw.  The svg renderer
 *     is assumed to handle these closed borders properly.]
 *
 *     Each border is a closed path that is traversed in such
 *     a way that the stuff inside the c.c. is on the right
 *     side of the traveller.  The border of a singly-connected
 *     component is thus traversed cw, and the border of the
 *     holes inside a c.c. are traversed ccw.  Suppose we have
 *     a list of all the borders of each c.c., both the cw and ccw
 *     traversals.  How do we reconstruct the image?
 *
 *   Reconstruction:
 *
 *     Method 1.  Topological method using connected components.
 *     We have closed borders composed of cw border pixels for the
 *     exterior of c.c. and ccw border pixels for the interior (holes)
 *     in the c.c.
 *         (a) Initialize the destination to be OFF.  Then,
 *             in any order:
 *         (b) Fill the components within and including the cw borders,
 *             and sequentially XOR them onto the destination.
 *         (c) Fill the components within but not including the ccw
 *             borders and sequentially XOR them onto the destination.
 *     The components that are XOR'd together can be generated as follows:
 *         (a) For each closed cw path, use pixFillClosedBorders():
 *               (1) Turn on the path pixels in a subimage that
 *                   minimally supports the border.
 *               (2) Do a 4-connected fill from a seed of 1 pixel width
 *                   on the border, using the inverted image in (1) as
 *                   a filling mask.
 *               (3) Invert the fill result: this gives the component
 *                   including the exterior cw path, with all holes
 *                   filled.
 *         (b) For each closed ccw path (hole):
 *               (1) Turn on the path pixels in a subimage that minimally
 *                   supports the path.
 *               (2) Find a seed pixel on the inside of this path.
 *               (3) Do a 4-connected fill from this seed pixel, using
 *                   the inverted image of the path in (1) as a filling
 *                   mask.
 *
 *     ------------------------------------------------------
 *
 *     Method 2.  A variant of Method 1.  Topological.
 *     In Method 1, we treat the exterior border differently from
 *     the interior (hole) borders.  Here, all borders in a c.c.
 *     are treated equally:
 *         (1) Start with a pix with a 1 pixel OFF boundary
 *             enclosing all the border pixels of the c.c.
 *             This is the filling mask.
 *         (2) Make a seed image of the same size as follows:  for
 *             each border, put one seed pixel OUTSIDE the border
 *             (where OUTSIDE is determined by the inside/outside
 *             convention for borders).
 *         (3) Seedfill into the seed image, filling in the regions
 *             determined by the filling mask.  The fills are clipped
 *             by the border pixels.
 *         (4) Inverting this, we get the c.c. properly filled,
 *             with the holes empty!
 *         (5) Rasterop using XOR the filled c.c. (but not the 1
 *             pixel boundary) into the full dest image.
 *
 *     Method 2 is about 1.2x faster than Method 1 on text images,
 *     and about 2x faster on complex images (e.g., with halftones).
 *
 *     ------------------------------------------------------
 *
 *     Method 3.  The traditional way to fill components delineated
 *     by boundaries is through scan line conversion.  It's a bit
 *     tricky, and I have not yet tried to implement it.
 *
 *     ------------------------------------------------------
 *
 *     Method 4.  [Nota Bene: this method probably doesn't work, and
 *     won't be implemented.  If I get a more traditional scan line
 *     conversion algorithm working, I'll erase these notes.]
 *     Render all border pixels on a destination image,
 *     which will be the final result after scan conversion.  Assign
 *     a value 1 to pixels on cw paths, 2 to pixels on ccw paths,
 *     and 3 to pixels that are on both paths.  Each of the paths
 *     is an 8-connected component.  Now scan across each raster
 *     line.  The attempt is to make rules for each scan line
 *     that are independent of neighboring scanlines.  Here are
 *     a set of rules for writing ON pixels on a destination raster image:
 *
 *         (a) The rasterizer will be in one of two states: ON and OFF.
 *         (b) Start each line in the OFF state.  In the OFF state,
 *             skip pixels until you hit a path of any type.  Turn
 *             the path pixel ON.
 *         (c) If the state is ON, each pixel you encounter will
 *             be turned on, until and including hitting a path pixel.
 *         (d) When you hit a path pixel, if the path does NOT cut
 *             through the line, so that there is not an 8-cc path
 *             pixel (of any type) both above and below, the state
 *             is unchanged (it stays either ON or OFF).
 *         (e) If the path does cut through, but with a possible change
 *             of pixel type, then we decide whether or
 *             not to toggle the state based on the values of the
 *             path pixel and the path pixels above and below:
 *               (1) if a 1 path cuts through, toggle;
 *               (1) if a 2 path cuts through, toggle;
 *               (3) if a 3 path cuts through, do not toggle;
 *               (4) if on one side a 3 touches both a 1 and a 2, use the 2
 *               (5) if a 3 has any 1 neighbors, toggle; else if it has
 *                   no 1 neighbors, do not toggle;
 *               (6) if a 2 has any neighbors that are 1 or 3,
 *                   do not toggle
 *               (7) if a 1 has neighbors 1 and x (x = 2 or 3),
 *                   toggle
 *
 *
 *     To visualize how these rules work, consider the following
 *     component with border pixels labeled according to the scheme
 *     above.  We also show the values of the interior pixels
 *     (w=OFF, b=ON), but these of course must be inferred properly
 *     from the rules above:
 *
 *                     3
 *                  3  w  3             1  1  1
 *                  1  2  1          1  b  2  b  1
 *                  1  b  1             3  w  2  1
 *                  3  b  1          1  b  2  b  1
 *               3  w  3                1  1  1
 *               3  w  3
 *            1  b  2  b  1
 *            1  2  w  2  1
 *         1  b  2  w  2  b  1
 *            1  2  w  2  1
 *               1  2  b  1
 *               1  b  1
 *                  1
 *
 *
 *     Even if this works, which is unlikely, it will certainly be
 *     slow because decisions have to be made on a pixel-by-pixel
 *     basis when encountering borders.

 *          If there are also hole borders, for each hole border,
 *          determine the smallest horizontal or vertical
 *          distance from the border to the outside of the c.c.,
 *          and find a path through the c.c. for this cut.
 *          We do this in a way that guarantees a pixel from the
 *          hole border is the starting point of the path, and
 *          we must verify that the path intersects the outer
 *          border (if it intersects it, then it ends on it).
 *          One can imagine pathological cases, but they may not
 *          occur in images of text characters and un-textured
 *          line graphics.
 *      (2) Once it is verified that the path through the c.c.
 *          intersects both the hole and outer borders, we
 *          generate the full single path for all borders in the
 *          c.c.  Starting at the start point on the outer
 *          border, when we hit a line on a cut, we take
 *          the cut, do the hole border, and return on the cut
 *          to the outer border.  We compose a pta of the
 *          outer border pts that are on cut paths, and for
 *          every point on the outer border (as we go around),
 *          we check against this pta.  When we find a matching
 *          point in the pta, we do its cut path and hole border.
 *          The single path is saved in the ccb.

 * \brief   ccbaDisplayImage1()
 *
 * \param[in]    ccba
 * \return  pix of image, or NULL on error
 *
 * <pre>
 * Notes:
 *      (1) Uses local ptaa, which gives each border pixel in
 *          local coordinates, so the actual pixel positions must
 *          be computed using all offsets.
 *      (2) For the holes, use coordinates relative to the c.c.
 *      (3) This is slower than Method 2.
 *      (4) This uses topological properties (Method 1) to do scan
 *          conversion to raster
 *
 *  This algorithm deserves some commentary.
 *
 *  I first tried the following:
 *    ~ outer borders: 4-fill from outside, stopping at the
 *         border, using pixFillClosedBorders()
 *    ~ inner borders: 4-fill from outside, stopping again
 *         at the border, XOR with the border, and invert
 *         to get the hole.  This did not work, because if
 *         you have a hole border that looks like:
 *
 *                x x x x x x
 *                x          x
 *                x   x x x   x
 *                  x x o x   x
 *                      x     x
 *                      x     x
 *                        x x x
 *
 *         if you 4-fill from the outside, the pixel 'o' will
 *         not be filled!  XORing with the border leaves it OFF.
 *         Inverting then gives a single bad ON pixel that is not
 *         actually part of the hole.
 *
 *  So what you must do instead is 4-fill the holes from inside.
 *  You can do this from a seedfill, using a pix with the hole
 *  border as the filling mask.  But you need to start with a
 *  pixel inside the hole.  How is this determined?  The best
 *  way is from the contour.  We have a right-hand shoulder
 *  rule for inside (i.e., the filled region).   Take the
 *  first 2 pixels of the hole border, and compute dx and dy
 *  (second coord minus first coord:  dx = sx - fx, dy = sy - fy).
 *  There are 8 possibilities, depending on the values of dx and
 *  dy (which can each be -1, 0, and +1, but not both 0).

 * Notes:
 *      (1) Uses local chain ptaa, which gives each border pixel in

 *          be computed using all offsets.
 *      (2) Treats exterior and hole borders on equivalent
 *          footing, and does all calculations on a pix
 *          that spans the c.c. with a 1 pixel added boundary.
 *      (3) This uses topological properties (Method 2) to do scan
 *          conversion to raster
 *      (4) The algorithm is described at the top of this file (Method 2).
 *          It is preferred to Method 1 because it is between 1.2x and 2x
