//  This example illustrates how to read and write an image of pixel type
//  \code{std::complex}. The complex type is defined as an integral part of the
//  C++ language. The characteristics of the type are specified in the C++
//  standard document in Chapter 26 "Numerics Library", page 565, in particular
//  in section 26.2~\cite{CPPStandard1998}.
//
//  We start by including the headers of the complex class, the image, and the
//  reader and writer classes.
