    <b>\#include</b> "<a href="utilities_8hxx-source.html">vigra/utilities.hxx</a>"<br>
    Namespace: vigra

    VIGRA defines tuple types \p vigra::triple, \p vigra::tuple4, \p vigra::tuple5.
    In addition, \p std::pair is imported into namespace vigra from the C++ standard
    library. All these types are defined similarly:

    <ul>

    <li> They are parameterized by the respective number of types. For each tuple,
    a constructor is defined that takes that many arguments, e.g.:
    \code
    template <class First, class Second, class Third>
    class Triple { ... };
    \endcode
    </li>
    <li> A number of \p typedef's tells the types stored in the tuple:

    \code
    typedef ... first_type;
    typedef ... second_type;
    typedef ... third_type;  // triple, tuple4, tuple5 only
    typedef ... forth_type;  // tuple4, tuple5 only
    typedef ... fifth_type;  // tuple5 only
    \endcode
    </li>
    <li> Items are stored in the following public attributes:

    \code

    first;
    second;
    third;  // triple, tuple4, tuple5 only
    forth;  // tuple4, tuple5 only
    fifth;  // tuple5 only

    \endcode
    </li>
    </ul>
