//  Thanks to the flexibility offered by the
//  \href{http://www.boost.org/more/generic_programming.html}{Generic
//  Programming} style on which ITK is based, it is possible to
//  instantiate images of arbitrary pixel type.  The following example
//  illustrates how a color image with RGB pixels can be defined.
//
//  A class intended to support the RGB pixel type is available in ITK.  You
//  could also define your own pixel class and use it to instantiate a
//  custom image type. In order to use the \doxygen{RGBPixel} class, it is
//  necessary to include its header file.
