//
// \doxygen{BlobSpatialObject} defines an N-dimensional blob. Like other
// SpatialObjects this class derives from \doxygen{itkSpatialObject}.  A blob
// is defined as a list of points which compose the object.
//
// Let's start by including the appropriate header file.

//
// BlobSpatialObject is templated over the dimension of the space.
// A BlobSpatialObject contains a list of SpatialObjectPoints. Basically,
// a SpatialObjectPoint has a position and a color.

// Then, we create a list of points and we set the position of each point in
// the local coordinate system using the \code{SetPosition()} method. We also
// set the color of each point to be red.
