==========================
Region Boundary based RAGs
==========================

Construct a region boundary RAG with the ``rag_boundary`` function. The
function  :py:func:`skimage.future.graph.rag_boundary` takes an
``edge_map`` argument, which gives the significance of a feature (such as
edges) being present at each pixel. In a region boundary RAG, the edge weight
between two regions is the average value of the corresponding pixels in
``edge_map`` along their shared boundary.
