		Binary Image Thinning Algorithms // Thinning (skeletonization)
		algorithms for binary raster images. Provides seven algorithms
		behind a single dispatching function: Zhang-Suen (Zhang and
		Suen 1984) doi:10.1145/357994.358023, Guo-Hall (Guo and Hall
		1989) doi:10.1145/62065.62074, a 2-D adaptation of Lee (Lee,
		Kashyap, and Chu 1994) doi:10.1006/cgip.1994.1042, K3M (Saeed,
		Tabedzki, Rybnik, and Adamski 2010)
		doi:10.2478/v10006-010-0024-4, the parallel form commonly
		attributed to Hilditch (1969, in 'Machine Intelligence 4'),
		OPTA / SPTA (Naccache and Shinghal 1984), and Holt and
		colleagues (1987) doi:10.1145/12527.12531. Also provides the
		medial axis transform (Blum 1967) and a distance transform
		implementation following Felzenszwalb and Huttenlocher (2012)
		doi:10.4086/toc.2012.v008a019. The thin() API selects the
		algorithm by name, defaulting to Zhang-Suen. Complements the
		morphology in the 'EBImage' package, which does not provide a
		thinning operator.
