## UpdatePixelViewIterator

UpdatePixelViewIterator() iterates over the pixel view in parallel and calls your update method for each scanline of the view. The pixel region is confined to the image canvas-- that is no negative offsets or widths or heights that exceed the image dimension are permitted. Updates to pixels in your callback are automagically synced back to the image.

Use this pragma:

        #pragma omp critical

to define a section of code in your callback update method that must be executed by a single thread at a time.

The format of the UpdatePixelViewIterator method is:

    MagickBooleanType UpdatePixelViewIterator(PixelView *source,
      UpdatePixelViewMethod update,void *context)

A description of each parameter follows:

source
  the source pixel view.
update
  the update callback method.
context
  the user defined context.
