/** \class Image
 *  \brief Templated n-dimensional image class.
 *
 * Images are templated over a pixel type (modeling the dependent
 * variables), and a dimension (number of independent variables).  The
 * container for the pixel data is the ImportImageContainer.
 *
 * Within the pixel container, images are modeled as arrays, defined by a
 * start index and a size.
 *
 * There are three sets of meta-data describing an image. These are "Region"
 * objects that define a portion of an image via a starting index for the image
 * array and a size. The ivar LargestPossibleRegion defines the size and
 * starting index of the image dataset. The entire image dataset, however,
 * need not be resident in memory. The region of the image that is resident in
 * memory is defined by the "BufferedRegion". The Buffer is a contiguous block
 * of memory.  The third set of meta-data defines a region of interest, called
 * the "RequestedRegion". The RequestedRegion is used by the pipeline
 * execution model to define what a filter is requested to produce.
 *
 * [RegionIndex, RegionSize] C [BufferIndex, BufferSize]
 *                           C [ImageIndex, ImageSize]
 *
 * Pixels can be accessed direcly using the SetPixel() and GetPixel()
 * methods or can be accessed via iterators.  Begin() creates
 * an iterator that can walk a specified region of a buffer.
 *
 * The pixel type may be one of the native types; a Insight-defined
 * class type such as Vector; or a user-defined type. Note that
 * depending on the type of pixel that you use, the process objects
 * (i.e., those filters processing data objects) may not operate on
 * the image and/or pixel type. This becomes apparent at compile-time
 * because operator overloading (for the pixel type) is not supported.
 *
 * The data in an image is arranged in a 1D array as [][][][slice][row][col]
 * with the column index varying most rapidly.  The Index type reverses
 * the order so that with Index[0] = col, Index[1] = row, Index[2] = slice,
