// This example illustrates how to import data into the \doxygen{otb}{Image}
// class. This is particularly useful for interfacing with other software
// systems. Many systems use a contiguous block of memory as a buffer
// for image pixel data. The current example assumes this is the case and
// feeds the buffer into an \doxygen{otb}{ImportImageFilter}, thereby producing an
// Image as output.

//
// For fun we create a synthetic image with a centered sphere in
// a locally allocated buffer and pass this block of memory to the
// ImportImageFilter. This example is set up so that on execution, the
// user must provide the name of an output file as a command-line argument.
//
// \index{otb::ImportImageFilter!Instantiation}
// \index{otb::ImportImageFilter!Header}
//
// First, the header file of the ImportImageFilter class must be
// included.

#include "otbImportImageFilter.h"

#include "otbImageFileWriter.h"
#include "itkRGBPixel.h"

  // Next, we select the data type to use to represent the image pixels.  We
  // assume that the external block of memory uses the same data type to
  // represent the pixels.

  //  Next we allocate the memory block containing the pixel data to be
  //  passed to the ImportImageFilter. Note that we use exactly the
  //  same size that was specified with the \code{SetRegion()} method.  In a

  //  programming languages. Note that otb
  //  does not use \code{for()} loops in its internal code to access
  //  pixels. All pixel access tasks are instead performed using

  //  The buffer is passed to the ImportImageFilter with the

  //  specifies who will be responsible for deleting the memory block once it
  //  is no longer in use. A \code{false} value indicates that the
  //  ImportImageFilter will not try to delete the buffer when its
  //  destructor is called. A \code{true} value, on the other hand, will allow the
  //  filter to delete the memory block upon destruction of the import filter.
  //
  //  For the ImportImageFilter to appropriately delete the
  //  memory block, the memory must be allocated with the C++
  //  \code{new()} operator.  Memory allocated with other memory
  //  allocation mechanisms, such as C \code{malloc} or \code{calloc}, will not
  //  be deleted properly by the ImportImageFilter.  In
  //  other words, it is the application programmer's responsibility
  //  to ensure that ImportImageFilter is only given
  //  permission to delete the C++ \code{new} operator-allocated memory.

  //  Note that we do not call \code{delete} on the buffer since we pass
