Example source code (ImageRegionIterator.cxx):

// \index{Iterators!speed}
// The \doxygen{itk}{ImageRegionIterator} is optimized for
// iteration speed and is the first choice for iterative, pixel-wise operations
// when location in the image is not
// important. ImageRegionIterator is the least specialized of the ITK
// image iterator classes.  It implements all of the methods described in the
// preceding section.
//
// The following example illustrates the use of
// \doxygen{itk}{ImageRegionConstIterator} and ImageRegionIterator.
// Most of the code constructs introduced apply to other ITK iterators as
// well. This simple application crops a subregion from an image by copying
// its pixel values into to a second, smaller image.
