// Even though \href{https://www.itk.org}{ITK} can be used to perform
// general image processing tasks, the primary purpose of the toolkit is the
// processing of medical image data. In that respect, additional
// information about the images is considered mandatory. In particular the
// information associated with the physical spacing between pixels and the
// position of the image in space with respect to some world coordinate
// system are extremely important.
//
// Image origin, voxel directions (i.e. orientation), and spacing are
// fundamental to many applications. Registration, for example, is performed
// in physical coordinates. Improperly defined spacing, direction, and origins
// will result in inconsistent results in such processes. Medical images with
// no spatial information should not be used for medical diagnosis, image
// analysis, feature extraction, assisted radiation therapy or image guided
// surgery. In other words, medical images lacking spatial information are not
// only useless but also hazardous.

//
// Figure \ref{fig:ImageOriginAndSpacing} illustrates the main geometrical
// concepts associated with the \doxygen{Image}.
// In this figure, circles are
// used to represent the center of pixels. The value of the pixel is assumed
// to exist as a Dirac delta function located at the pixel center. Pixel
// spacing is measured between the pixel centers and can be different along
// each dimension. The image origin is associated with the coordinates of the
// first pixel in the image.
// For this simplified example, the voxel lattice is perfectly aligned with
// physical space orientation, and the image direction is therefore an
// identity mapping. If the voxel lattice samples were rotated with respect to
// physical space, then the image direction would contain a rotation matrix.
//
// A \emph{pixel} is considered to be the
// rectangular region surrounding the pixel center holding the data
// value.

// like any other C++ class. Once the point is declared, its
// components can be accessed using traditional array notation. In
// particular, the \code{[]} operator is available. For efficiency reasons,
// no bounds checking is performed on the index used to access a particular
// point component. It is the user's responsibility to make sure that the

// not be used when the returned value of the method is \code{false}.
