//
//  This example illustrates how to read an image whose pixel type is
//  \code{CovariantVector}. For practical purposes this example is applicable
//  to images of pixel type \doxygen{Vector}, \doxygen{Point} and
//  \doxygen{FixedArray}. These pixel types are similar in that they are all
//  arrays of fixed size in which the components have the same representation
//  type.
//
//  In this example we are reading a gradient image from a file (written in
//  the previous example) and computing its magnitude using the
//  \doxygen{VectorMagnitudeImageFilter}. Note that this filter is
//  different from the \doxygen{GradientMagnitudeImageFilter} which actually
//  takes a scalar image as input and computes the magnitude of its gradient.
//  The VectorMagnitudeImageFilter class takes an image of vector
//  pixel type as input and computes pixel-wise the magnitude of each vector.
//
//  Let's start by including the relevant header files.
