- Method Detail
  - getAllPatches
```
public static BufferedImage[][] getAllPatches(BufferedImage bImage,
                                              IMeasures.PatchSize patchChoice)
                                       throws IllegalArgumentException
```
    Parameters:
    
    bImage - the input image that is supposed to be divided into patches
    
    patchChoice - can be chosen from the enumeration PatchSize. This determines the size of each patch which has a square shape (i.e. height = width).
    
    Returns:
    
    A square matrix whose entities are of type BufferedImage
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - in the following cases:
    
    If the given bImage is not square-shaped
    If the patchChoice is not from the enumeration in PatchSize
    If the bImage cannot be divided into patchChoice patches
