/** \class VectorImage
 *  \brief Templated n-dimensional vector image class.
 *
 * This class differs from Image in that it is intended to represent multiple
 * images. Each pixel represents \e k measurements, each of datatype \e TPixel.
 * The memory organization of the resulting image is as follows:
 *   ... Pi0 Pi1 Pi2 Pi3 P(i+1)0 P(i+1)1 P(i+1)2 P(i+1)3 P(i+2)0 ...
 * where Pi0 represents the 0th measurement of the pixel at index i.
 *
 * Conceptually, a <tt>VectorImage< TPixel, 3 ></tt> is the same as a
 * <tt>Image< VariableLengthVector< TPixel >, 3 ></tt>. The difference lies in the memory
 * organization. The latter results in a fragmented
 * organization with each location in the Image holding a pointer to an \c VariableLengthVector
 * holding the actual pixel. The former stores the \e k pixels instead of a
 * pointer reference, which apart from avoiding fragmentation of memory also avoids
 * storing a 8 bytes of pointer reference for each pixel.
 * The parameter \e k can be set using \c SetVectorLength.
 *
 * The API of the class is such that it returns a pixeltype VariableLengthVector< TPixel > when
 * queried, with the data internally pointing to the buffer. (the container does not
 * manage the memory). Similarly SetPixel calls can be made with VariableLengthVector< TPixel >.
 *
 * The API of this class is similar to Image.
 *
 * \par Caveats:
 * When using Iterators on this image, you cannot use the it.Value(). You must use
 * Set/Get() methods instead.
 *

 * (NAMIC), funded by the National Institutes of Health through the NIH Roadmap
