// This example illustrates how to import data into the \doxygen{Image}
// class. This is particularly useful for interfacing with other software
// systems. Many systems use a contiguous block of memory as a buffer
// for image pixel data. The current example assumes this is the case and
// feeds the buffer into an \doxygen{ImportImageFilter}, thereby producing an
// image as output.
//
// Here we create a synthetic image with a centered sphere in
// a locally allocated buffer and pass this block of memory to the
// \code{ImportImageFilter}. This example is set up so that on execution, the
// user must provide the name of an output file as a command-line argument.
//
// \index{itk::ImportImageFilter!Instantiation}
// \index{itk::ImportImageFilter!Header}
//
// First, the header file of the \doxygen{ImportImageFilter} class must be
// included.

// The buffer is passed to the \code{ImportImageFilter} with the

// destructor is called. A \code{true} value, on the other hand, will allow the
// filter to delete the memory block upon destruction of the import filter.
//
// For the \code{ImportImageFilter} to appropriately delete the
// memory block, the memory must be allocated with the C++
// \code{new()} operator. Memory allocated with other memory
// allocation mechanisms, such as C \code{malloc} or \code{calloc}, will not
// be deleted properly by the \code{ImportImageFilter}. In
