// This example illustrates how to read an image whose pixel type is
// \code{CovariantVector}. For practical purposes this example is applicable
// to images of pixel type \doxygen{Vector}, \doxygen{Point} and
// \doxygen{FixedArray}. These pixel types are similar in that they are all
// arrays of fixed size in which the components have the same representation
// type.
//
// In this example we are reading a gradient image from a file (written in
// the previous example) and computing its magnitude using the
// \doxygen{VectorMagnitudeImageFilter}. Note that this filter is
// different from the \doxygen{GradientMagnitudeImageFilter} which actually
// takes a scalar image as input and computes the magnitude of its gradient.
// The VectorMagnitudeImageFilter class takes an image of vector
// pixel type as input and computes pixel-wise the magnitude of each vector.
//
// Let's start by including the relevant header files.
