Detailed Description

An algorithm that applies a mask based on connected component area.

The filter masks the regions identified by an integer label that are outside the range bracketed by the 'low_area_threshold' and 'high_area_threshold' properties. These default to -inf and +inf, hence by default no regions are masked. The mask value may be set by the 'mask_value' property which defaults to '0'.

The filter expects an integer field containing connected component labels. This field is named by the 'component_variable' property. Additionally a list of label ids and coresponding areas is expected in the dataset metadata. The properties 'component_ids_key' and 'component_area_key' identify the latter metadata. These default to the names used by the 'teca_2d_component_area' algotihm, 'component_ids' and 'component_area'.

Applying the 'teca_connected_component' algorithm followed by the 'teca_2d_component_area' algorithm is the easiest way to get valid inputs for the 'component_area_filter'.

The filtered coomponent ids are put in the output dataset along with the updated lists of valid component ids and component area metadata keys. By default the filtered data replaces the input data in the output. However, the input data can be retained by setting the 'variable_post_fix' property, a string that will be appended to the names of the filtered component array and metadata keys.
