It has a 2D difference_type and supports random access operations like:
         difference_type offset2(2,3);
         locator+=offset2;
         locator[offset2]=my_pixel;
In addition, each coordinate acts as a random-access iterator that can be modified separately: "++locator.x()" or "locator.y()+=10" thereby moving the locator horizontally or vertically. It is called a locator because it doesn't implement the complete interface of a random access iterator. For example, increment and decrement operations don't make sense (no way to specify dimension). Also 2D difference between two locators cannot be computed without knowledge of the X position within the image. This base class provides most of the methods and typedefs needed to create a model of a locator. GIL provides two locator models as subclasses of `pixel_2d_locator_base`. A memory-based locator, `memory_based_2d_locator` and a virtual locator, `virtual_2d_locator`. The minimum functionality a subclass must provide is this:
     class my_locator : public pixel_2d_locator_base<my_locator, ..., ...> {  // supply the types for x-iterator and y-iterator
            typedef ... const_t;                      // read-only locator

            template <typename Deref> struct add_deref {
                typedef ... type;                     // locator that invokes the Deref dereference object upon pixel access
                static type make(const my_locator& loc, const Deref& d);
            };

            my_locator();
            my_locator(const my_locator& pl);

            // constructors with dynamic step in y (and x). Only valid for locators with dynamic steps
            my_locator(const my_locator& loc, coord_t y_step);
            my_locator(const my_locator& loc, coord_t x_step, coord_t y_step, bool transpose);

            bool              operator==(const my_locator& p) const;

            // return _references_ to horizontal/vertical iterators. Advancing them moves this locator
            x_iterator&       x();
            y_iterator&       y();
            x_iterator const& x() const;
            y_iterator const& y() const;

            // return the vertical distance to another locator. Some models need the horizontal distance to compute it
            y_coord_t         y_distance_to(const my_locator& loc2, x_coord_t xDiff) const;

            // return true iff incrementing an x-iterator located at the last column will position it at the first
            // column of the next row. Some models need the image width to determine that.
            bool              is_1d_traversable(x_coord_t width) const;
     };
Models may choose to override some of the functions in the base class with more efficient versions.
