Hi Kent,

This option above may not be safe enough, since users can
use any type as pixel type. That is, the InputPixelType may
not only be one of the basic types (char, short, int ....), but
can also be a customized class.

For example, InputPixelType could be:

foo {
char a,
char b,
};

so, a sizeof(foo) = 2

may not be specific enough.
