//This example illustrates how the \doxygen{ImageAdaptor} can be used to cast
// an image from one pixel type to another. In particular, we will
// \emph{adapt} an \code{unsigned char} image to make it appear as an image of
// pixel type \code{float}.
//
// \index{itk::ImageAdaptor!Instantiation}
// \index{itk::ImageAdaptor!Header}
//
// We begin by including the relevant headers.

// First, we need to define a \emph{pixel accessor} class that does the actual
// conversion. Note that in general, the only valid operations for pixel
// accessors are those that only require the value of the input pixel. As
// such, neighborhood type operations are not possible. A pixel accessor must
// provide methods \code{Set()} and \code{Get()}, and define the types of
// \code{InternalPixelType} and \code{ExternalPixelType}. The
// \code{InternalPixelType} corresponds to the pixel type of the image to be
// adapted (\code{unsigned char} in this example). The \code{ExternalPixelType}
// corresponds to the pixel type we wish to emulate with the ImageAdaptor
// (\code{float} in this case).

  //  Software Guide : BeginLatex
  //
  // Although in this example, we are just performing a simple summation, the key
  // concept is that access to pixels is performed as if the pixel is of type
  //  \code{float}. Additionally, it should be noted that the adaptor is used
  // as if it was an actual image and not as a filter. ImageAdaptors conform
  // to the same API as the  \doxygen{Image} class.
