// \index{Iterators!speed}
// The ``WithIndex'' family of iterators was designed for algorithms that
// use both the value and the location of image pixels in calculations.  Unlike
// \doxygen{ImageRegionIterator}, which calculates an index only when
// asked for, \doxygen{ImageRegionIteratorWithIndex} maintains its
// index location as a member variable that is updated during the increment or
// decrement process. Iteration speed is penalized, but the index queries are
// more efficient.
//
// \index{itk::ImageRegionIteratorWithIndex!example of using|(}
//
// The following example illustrates the use of
// ImageRegionIteratorWithIndex.  The algorithm mirrors
// a 2D image across its $x$-axis (see \doxygen{FlipImageFilter} for an ND
// version).  The algorithm makes extensive use of the \code{GetIndex()}
// method.
//
// We start by including the proper header file.
