60 // <synopsis>
61 // The LCLELMask class is a specialization of class
62 // <linkto class=LCRegion>LCRegion</linkto>.
63 // <br>
64 // It can be used to define an on-the-fly mask for a lattice
65 // using a boolean <linkto class=LatticeExpr>LatticeExpr</linkto>.
66 // The contents of the mask are calculated on the fly from the expression.
67 // Thus the mask may change if the data in the lattice(s) used in the
68 // expression change.
69 // <note role=caution>
70 // This mask is not persistent, thus it cannot be saved with an image.
71 // Use class <linkto class=WCLELMask>WCLELMask</linkto> to have a
72 // persistent on-the-fly mask. It means that normally a WCLELMask should
73 // be used (which gets converted to an LCLELMask when applied to an image).
