def weight_boundary(graph, src, dst, n):
    """
    Handle merging of nodes of a region boundary region adjacency graph.

    This function computes the `"weight"` and the count `"count"`
    attributes of the edge between `n` and the node formed after
    merging `src` and `dst`.


    Parameters
    ----------
    graph : RAG
        The graph under consideration.
    src, dst : int
        The vertices in `graph` to be merged.
    n : int
        A neighbor of `src` or `dst` or both.

    Returns
    -------
    data : dict
        A dictionary with the "weight" and "count" attributes to be
        assigned for the merged node.
