NAME
       mlib_ImageSobel, mlib_ImageSobel_Fp - Sobel filter

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -lmlib [ library... ]
       #include <mlib.h>

       mlib_status mlib_ImageSobel(mlib_image *dst, const mlib_image *src, mlib_s32 cmask, mlib_edge edge);

       mlib_status mlib_ImageSobel_Fp(mlib_image *dst, const mlib_image *src, mlib_s32 cmask, mlib_edge edge);

DESCRIPTION
       Each function is a special case of the gradient filter, which is an edge detector which computes the magnitude of the image gradient vector
       in two orthogonal directions. In this case, the gradient filter uses specific horizontal and vertical masks.

       The Sobel filter is one of the special cases of gradient filter using the following horizontal and vertical masks:

       hmask =	{ -1.0, 0.0, 1.0,
		  -2.0, 0.0, 2.0,
		  -1.0, 0.0, 1.0 }

       vmask =	{ -1.0, -2.0, -1.0,
		   0.0,  0.0,  0.0,
		   1.0,  2.0,  1.0 }

PARAMETERS
       Each function takes the following arguments:

       dst	       Pointer to destination image.

       src	       Pointer to source image.

       cmask	       Channel mask to indicate the channels to be processed, each bit of which represents a channel in the  image.  The  channels
		       corresponding to 1 bits are those to be processed.  For a single channel image, the channel mask is ignored.

       edge	       Type of edge condition. It can be one of the following:

		       MLIB_EDGE_DST_NO_WRITE
		       MLIB_EDGE_DS_FILL_ZERO
		       MLIB_EDGE_DST_COPY_SRC
		       MLIB_EDGE_SR_EXTEND

RETURN VALUES
       The function returns MLIB_SUCCESS if successful. Otherwise it returns MLIB_FAILURE.
