""" ============================================ Hierarchical Merging of Region Boundary RAGs ============================================ This example demonstrates how to perform hierarchical merging on region boundary Region Adjacency Graphs (RAGs). Region boundary RAGs can be constructed with the :py:func:`skimage.future.graph.rag_boundary` function. The regions with the lowest edge weights are successively merged until there is no edge with weight less than ``thresh``. The hierarchical merging is done through the :py:func:`skimage.future.graph.merge_hierarchical` function. For an example of how to construct region boundary based RAGs, see :any:`plot_rag_boundary`.
