57 // <synopsis>
58 // The LCRegion class is the abstract base class for various types
59 // of LCRegion's (e.g. <linkto class=LCEllipsoid>LCEllipsoid</linkto>,
60 // <linkto class=LCBox>LCBox</linkto>).
61 // It contains the minimal bounding box of the region and, if needed,
62 // a mask with the same shape as the bounding box. A mask element
63 // is true if the element is inside the box.
64 // <p>
65 // Each LCRegion object must be able to convert itself to and from a record.
66 // In that way they can be made persistent (in for example a Table).
67 // <p>
68 // The LCRegion can be used in several Lattices and Images classes and
69 // functions to limit the area to operate on.
70 // </synopsis>

75 // </example>
76 
77 // <motivation>
78 // The Slicer class is too limited as a region, because it can only
79 // describe a rectangular region. Specialized classes are needed to
80 // describe arbitrary regions. They need a base class to combine them.
81 // </motivation>
