  //  two other filters for computing the Y component.

  //  The \doxygen{RecursiveGaussianImageFilter} can approximate the

  //  we should select \code{FirstOrder} for $x$ and \code{ZeroOrder} for $y$.

  //  \code{ZeroOrder} in both directions.

  //  There are two typical ways of normalizing Gaussians depending on their
  //  application. For scale-space analysis it is desirable to use a
  //  normalization that will preserve the maximum value of the input. This
  //  normalization is represented by the following equation.
  //
  //  \begin{equation}
  //          \frac{ 1 }{ \sigma  \sqrt{ 2 \pi } }
  //  \end{equation}
  //
  //  In applications that use the Gaussian as a solution of the diffusion
  //  equation it is desirable to use a normalization that preserves the
  //  integral of the signal. This last approach can be seen as a conservation
  //  of mass principle. This is represented by the following equation.
  //
  //  \begin{equation}
  //          \frac{ 1 }{ \sigma^2  \sqrt{ 2 \pi } }
  //  \end{equation}
  //
  //  The \doxygen{RecursiveGaussianImageFilter} has a boolean flag that
  //  allows users to select between these two normalization options.
  //  Selection is done with the method \code{SetNormalizeAcrossScale()}.
  //  Enable this flag when analyzing an image across scale-space.  In the
  //  current example, this setting has no impact because we are actually
  //  renormalizing the output to the dynamic range of the reader, so we
  //  simply disable the flag.

  //  The input image can be obtained from the output of another
  //  filter. Here, an image reader is used as the source. The image is passed
  //  to the $x$ filter and then to the $y$ filter. The reason for keeping
  //  these two filters separate is that it is usual in scale-space
  //  applications to compute not only the smoothing but also combinations of
  //  derivatives at different orders and smoothing. Some factorization is
  //  possible when separate filters are used to generate the intermediate
  //  results. Here this capability is less interesting, though, since we only
  //  want to smooth the image in all directions.
