// This example illustrates how to read an image whose pixel type is
// \code{CovariantVector}, extract one of its components to form a scalar
// image and finally save this image into a file.
//
// The \doxygen{VectorIndexSelectionCastImageFilter} is used to extract
// a scalar from the vector image. It is also possible to cast the component
// type when using this filter. It is the user's responsibility to make sure
// that the cast will not result in any information loss.
//
// Let's start by including the relevant header files.
