// Thanks to the flexibility offered by the
// \href{http://www.boost.org/more/generic_programming.html}{Generic
// Programming} style on which ITK is based, it is possible to
// instantiate images of arbitrary pixel type. The following example
// illustrates how a color image with RGB pixels can be defined.
//
// A class intended to support the RGB pixel type is available in ITK. You
// could also define your own pixel class and use it to instantiate a
// custom image type. In order to use the \doxygen{RGBPixel} class, it is
// necessary to include its header file.

// The RGB pixel class is templated over a type used to represent each one
// of the red, green and blue pixel components. A typical instantiation of the
// templated class is as follows.

//
// Software Guide : EndLatex

// The type is then used as the pixel template parameter of the image.

// The image type can be used to instantiate other filter, for example,

// file.
