// .NAME vtkImageScatterPlot - Produces a scatter plot from 1 axis.
// .SECTION Description
// vtkImageScatterPlot Was written to test the T2Median filter.
// It converts one axis into a space, all other axis are ignored.
// For example, it will convert an image with 2 spectral channels (components)
// into a 2d scatter plot. All pixels become dots in the plot.  The
// output of this filter is an image of unsigned bytes whose values
// are 0 or 255. InRegion specifies the region to use from the input
// that will create the plot.  OutRegion Specifies the dimensions of the
// scatter plot.  AspectRatio specifies how the components are converted
// into the OutRegion.  This filter will only work on 4d data 
// (3d + components).
