// This example illustrates how to read a series of 2D slices from
// independent files in order to compose a volume. The class
// \doxygen{ImageSeriesReader} is used for this purpose. This class works in
// combination with a generator of filenames that will provide a list of
// files to be read. In this particular example we use the
// \doxygen{NumericSeriesFileNames} class as a filename generator. This
// generator uses a \code{printf} style of string format with a
// ``\code{\%d}'' field that will be successively replaced by a number
// specified by the user. Here we will use a format like
// ``\code{file\%03d.png}'' for reading PNG files named file001.png,
// file002.png, file003.png... and so on.
//
// This requires the following headers as shown.
