// dimensions correspond to spatial coordinates and the fourth dimension
// corresponds to time. The result of the mean across time is to be stored in a

// As you can see, we avoid to use a 3D iterator to walk

// order as the 4D. Iterators just adhere to their contract
// of visiting every pixel, but do not enforce any particular
// order for the visits. The linear iterator guarantees it will
// visit the pixels along a line of the image in the order
// in which they are placed in the line, but does not state
// in what order one line will be visited with respect to
// other lines. Here we simply take advantage of knowing
// the first three components of the 4D iterator index,
// and use them to place the resulting mean value in the
// output 3D image.
