/** \class SegmentationRegion
 * \brief Base class for SegmentationRegion object
 *
 * itkSegmentationRegion is the base class for the SegmentationRegion
 * objects. It provides the basic function definitons that are inherent to a
 * SegmentationRegion objects.  A region object is defined by the label it
 * owns.  We use integer labels to represent a region.
 * This object stores the region label.  The user can get the
 * area and a label associated with the region
 * through access functions provided publicly.
 * This class provides an interface method called
 * ApplySegmentationRegion is defined as virtual to enable future extension
 * of the region object.
 * This object can be used where region in images needs to be defined.
 * Child classes can be derived from this class for tailoring them towards
 * specific algorithmic needs.
