// The \doxygen{ImageLinearIteratorWithIndex} is designed for line-by-line
// processing of an image.  It walks a linear path along a selected image
// direction parallel to one of the coordinate axes of the image. This
// iterator conceptually breaks an image into a set of parallel lines
// that span the selected image dimension.
//
// \index{Iterators!and image lines}
//
// Like all image iterators, movement of the
// ImageLinearIteratorWithIndex is constrained within an
// image region $R$.  The line $\ell$ through which the iterator moves is
// defined by selecting a direction and an origin.   The line $\ell$
// extends from the origin to the upper boundary of $R$. The origin can be
// moved to any position along the lower boundary of $R$.
//
// Several additional methods are defined for this iterator to control movement
// of the iterator along the line $\ell$ and movement of the origin of $\ell$.
//
// %Might need a figure here to describe this iterator.
//
// \begin{itemize}
//
// \index{itk::ImageLinearIteratorWithIndex!NextLine()}
//
// \item \textbf{\code{NextLine()}} Moves the iterator to the beginning pixel
// location of the next line in the image.  The origin of the next line is
// determined by incrementing the current origin along the fastest increasing
// dimension of the subspace of the image that excludes the selected dimension.
//
//
// \index{itk::ImageLinearIteratorWithIndex!PreviousLine()}
//
// \item \textbf{\code{PreviousLine()}} Moves the iterator to the \emph{last valid
// pixel location} in the previous line. The origin of the previous line is
// determined by decrementing the current origin along the fastest increasing
// dimension of the subspace of the image that excludes the selected dimension.
//
// \index{itk::ImageLinearIteratorWithIndex!GoToBeginOfLine()}
//
// \item \textbf{\code{GoToBeginOfLine()}} Moves the iterator to the beginning
// pixel of the current line.
//
// \index{itk::ImageLinearIteratorWithIndex!GoToEndOfLine()}
//
// \item \textbf{\code{GoToEndOfLine()}}  Moves the iterator to
// \emph{one past} the last valid pixel of the current line.
//
// \index{itk::ImageLinearIteratorWithIndex!GoToReverseBeginOfLine()}
//
// \item \textbf{\code{GoToReverseBeginOfLine()}}  Moves the iterator
// to \emph{the last valid pixel} of the current line.
//
// \index{itk::ImageLinearIteratorWithIndex!IsAtReverseEndOfLine()}
//
// \item \textbf{\code{IsAtReverseEndOfLine()}}
// Returns true if the iterator points
// to \emph{one position before} the beginning pixel of the current line.
//
// \index{itk::ImageLinearIteratorWithIndex!IsAtEndOfLine()}
//
// \item \textbf{\code{IsAtEndOfLine()}}
// Returns true if the iterator points to
// \emph{one position past} the last valid pixel of the current line.
// \end{itemize}
//
// The following code example shows how to use the
// ImageLinearIteratorWithIndex.  It implements the same algorithm as
// in the previous example, flipping an image across its $x$-axis.  Two line
// iterators are iterated in opposite directions across the $x$-axis.
// After each line is traversed, the iterator origins are stepped along
// the $y$-axis to the
// next line.
