// This example shows how to compute the histogram of a scalar image.  Since
// the statistics framework classes operate on Samples and
// ListOfSamples, we need to introduce a class that will make the image look
// like a list of samples. This class is the
// \subdoxygen{Statistics}{ImageToListSampleAdaptor}.  Once we have connected
// this adaptor to an image, we can proceed to use the
// \subdoxygen{Statistics}{SampleToHistogramFilter} in order to compute
// the histogram of the image.
//
// First, we need to include the headers for the
// \subdoxygen{Statistics}{ImageToListSampleAdaptor} and the \doxygen{Image} classes.

  // assigning the result to the corresponding smart pointer. Finally we connect
  // the output of the image reader to the input of the adaptor.
