NAME

       lqr_carver_init - activates an LqrCarver object

SYNOPSIS

       #include <lqr.h>

       LqrRetVal lqr_carver_init(LqrCarver* carver, gint delta_x, gfloat rigidity);

DESCRIPTION

       The function lqr_carver_init initialises the LqrCarver pointed to by carver, so that it
       can compute the visibility maps as needed upon calls of lqr_carver_resize.

       The parameter delta_x controls the maximum transversal step a seam can make. A value of 0
       means straight seams. Normally, it is set to 1.

       The parameter rigidity can be used to add a negative bias to non-straight seams, and it is
       normally set to 0.

       Visibility maps must not be loaded with the function lqr_vmap_load when using this
       function, neither before nor after invoking it.

RETURN VALUE

       The return value follows the Liquid Rescale library signalling system.
