//:
// \file
//  This example program shows a typical use of the vipl_histogram IP class on
//  an int image.  The input image (argv[1]) can be any scalar type (i.e.,
//  it should be mappable to int: [[un]signed] char, [unsigned]short, int),
//  and its histogram is calculated and written to stdout.
//  Uses vipl_histogram<section<ubyte,2>,section<int,2>,ubyte,int>.
//  The conversion between vil_image_view<ubyte> and the in-memory section<ubyte,2>
//  is done explicitly, pixel per pixel (because of possibly different types).
//
//  Note that it seems to be impossible with some compilers (notably
//  VisualC++ 5.0) to specify different types for input and output images!
//  That explains why I use section<int,2> and not section<ubyte,2>
//  as input image type.
