// .NAME vtkImageFilter - Generic filter that has one input..
// .SECTION Description
// vtkImageFilter is a filter class that can hide som of the pipeline 
// complexity.  This super class will loop over extra dimensions so the
// subclass can deal with simple low dimensional regions.
// The subclass can implement a filer in two different ways.  It can
// create an "Update(vtkImageRegion *out)" method, and get the input
// region itself. Or, it can create an "Execute(vtkImageRegion *in, *out)"
// and let the superclass get the input.  The execute method requires the
// UseExecuteMethod is on and also requires some helper method.  
// "ComputeRequiredInputExtent(vtkImageRegion *out, *in)" must set the
// extent of in required to compute out. 
// The advantage of using the execute method is that this super class
// will automatically break the execution into pieces if the 
// InputMemroyLimit is violated or the input request fails.
// This creates streaming where the pipeline processes images
// in dynamically sized pieces.
