// .NAME vtkImageFilter - Generic filter that has one input..
// .SECTION Description
// vtkImageFilter is a filter class that hides some of the pipeline 
// complexity.  This super class will loop over extra dimensions so the
// subclass can deal with simple low dimensional regions.
// "ComputeRequiredInputUpdateExtent(vtkImageCache *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 
// InputMemoryLimit is violated.
// This creates streaming where the pipeline processes images
// in dynamically sized pieces.
