//  This example program shows a typical use of the median filter on
//  a ubyte image.  The input image (argv[1]) must be ubyte, and in that
//  case its median smoothed version (with circular kernel, default the
//  3x3 square) is written to argv[2] which is always a PGM file image.
//  Uses vipl_median<vnl_matrix<ubyte>,vnl_matrix<ubyte>,ubyte,ubyte>.
//  The conversion between vil_image_view<ubyte> and the in-memory vnl_matrix<ubyte>
//  is done explicitly.
