// \brief morphological dilation with circular element
//
//  Dilation is a morphological operation that replaces a pixel with the
//  maximum value of its surrounding pixels, in a certain neighbourhood.
//  Here, the neighbourhood is circular, with an arbitrary (float) radius,
//  which is to be passed to the constructor.
//
//  Note that the function max(DataIn,DataIn) is being used; for
//  non-scalar data types (like colour pixels) an appropriate max() function
//  must thus be supplied.
//
//  Note also the implicit use of DataOut::DataOut(DataIn),
//  which you probably will have to provide when DataIn and DataOut
//  are not the same type.  It could even be argued that these types should
//  always be the same!

//  Modifications
//   12/97 updated by Tboult to use new codegen form and have valid (public
//          agreed) ctor and to use preop and postop to define/destroy the mask.
//   Peter Vanroose - 20 aug 2003 - changed parameter and return types from vil_image_view_base_sptr to vil_image_resource_sptr
