// This example illustrates how to write an image whose pixel type is
// \code{CovariantVector}. For practical purposes all the content in this
// example is applicable to images of pixel type \doxygen{Vector},
// \doxygen{Point} and \doxygen{FixedArray}. These pixel types are similar
// in that they are all arrays of fixed size in which the components have
// the same representational type.
//
// In order to make this example a bit more interesting we setup a pipeline
// to read an image, compute its gradient and write the gradient to a file.
// Gradients are represented with \doxygen{CovariantVector}s as opposed to
// Vectors. In this way, gradients are transformed correctly under
// \doxygen{AffineTransform}s or in general, any transform having
// anisotropic scaling.
//
// Let's start by including the relevant header files.
