// <etymology>
// From Lattice and Marker (shape)
// </etymology>
//
// <synopsis> 
// The purpose of this class is to draw pixels as markers such as squares
// where the size of the marker reflects the pixel value.
// Presently only squares are available.  Positive values
// get solid squares, negative values open squares.
//
// At construction, any axes in the data can be mapped to the X and Y
// axes of the display device (see the <linkto
// class="PrincipalAxesDD">PrincipalAxesDD</linkto> class).  For data
// with more than two dimensions, a third axis in the dataset can be
// selected for generating a sequence of maps along: this is known
// as the "movie" axis.  Animation (see the <linkto
// class="Animator">Animator</linkto> class) will cause different
// slices of the data to be selected from along this axis.  After
// construction, the axis settings of a LatticeAsMarker object can be
// modified at a later stage.
//
//# </synopsis>
//
// <example>
// A LatticeAsMarker object could be constructed and used as follows:
// <srcblock>
// PagedImage<Complex> *pimage = new PagedImage<Complex>(String("test.im"));
// DisplayData *dd;
// uInt ndim = pimage->ndim();
// if (ndim < 2) {
//   throw(AipsError(String("Image has less than two dimensions")));
// } else if (ndim == 2) {
//   dd = (DisplayData *)(new LatticeAsMarker<Complex>(pimage, 0, 1));
// } else {
//   IPosition fixedPos(ndim);
//   fixedPos = 0;
//   dd = (DisplayData *)(new LatticeAsMarker<Complex>(pimage, 0, 1, 2,fixedPos));
// }
// // wcHolder is an existing WorldCanvasHolder *...
// wcHolder->addDisplayData(ddata);
// wcHolder->refresh();
// </srcblock>
// </example>
//
// <motivation>
// Displaying 2-dimensional slices of a lattice-based data volume is
// a standard display requirement for astronomical data visualization
// and presentation.

// DL functions.
