Users Guide to Image Coordinate Systems

The following is our evaluation of the use and design of the Image class and its underlying coordinate systems. We are writing from the perspective of programmers who wish to use the Image class as a service. While the Image class and its coordinate structure looks very pleasing and seems to obey encapsulation, its use in application programs is not easy, conceptual encapsulation is broken, and optimization of routines such as DFTs and FFTs breaks the encapsulation.
