// \index{Iterators!speed}
// The \doxygen{ImageRegionIterator} is optimized for
// iteration speed and is the first choice for iterative, pixel-wise operations
// when location in the image is not
// important. ImageRegionIterator is the least specialized of the ITK
// image iterator classes. It implements all of the methods described in the
// preceding section.
//
// The following example illustrates the use of
// \doxygen{ImageRegionConstIterator} and ImageRegionIterator.
// Most of the code constructs introduced apply to other ITK iterators as
// well. This simple application crops a subregion from an image by copying
// its pixel values into to a second, smaller image.

// is now filled up with zero values and the coordinates of the physical
// origin are computed as a shift from the origin of the input image. This is
// quite important since it will allow us to later
// register the extracted region against the original image.
