//
// <synopsis>
//   Progress meters can be displayed by the <src>LatticeApply</src> class
//   which is used by <src>LatticeHistograms</src> in order to optimally iterate
//   through the image.  To do this,  one must derive a
//   class from <src>LatticeProgress</src>. <src>LatticeApply</src> calls 
//   methods declared in <src>LatticeProgress</src> and  implemented in 
//   the derived class.
// </synopsis>
//
// <motivation>
//  I like progress meters !
