// <etymology>
// This is a class designed to display and retrieve statistics from images
// </etymology>

// <synopsis>
// This class enable you to display and/or retrieve statistics evaluated over 
// specified regions from an image.  The dimension of the region is arbitrary, but 
// the size of each dimension is always the size of the corresponding image axis.
// The statistics are displayed as a function of location of the axes not
// used to evaluate the statistics over.  The axes which you evaluate the statistics
// over are called the cursor axes, the others are called the display axes.
//
// This class is derived from the class LatticeStatistics which does all
// the work.  This class only adds some extra capability in terms of
// logging world (rather than pixel) coordinates and computing the
// synthesized beam area, if there is one.  There are just a few virtual
// functions for you to over-ride.  These are rather specialized, they
// are not part of a general polymorphic interface, just a way to
// separate the Lattice and Image functionality out.
//
// See LatticeStatistics for details and examples.
// </synopsis>
//
// <motivation>
// The generation of statistical information from an image is a basic 
// and necessary capability.
// </motivation>

// <todo asof="1996/11/26">
//   <li> Deal with complex images at least for statistics retrieval if not
//        plotting.
//   <li> Retrieve statistics at specified location of display axes
//   <li> Standard errors on statistical quantities
//   <li> Median, other more exotic statistics. Life made difficult by
//        accumulation image approach
// </todo>
