// Class SubImage has to be used to apply a region or mask to an image.
// Several functions are inherited from SubLattice and not declared
// in this class.
// <p>
// Using an <linkto class=AxesSpecifier>AxesSpecifier</linkto> object
// it is possible to remove some or all degenerate axes (i.e. axes
// with length 1) to get an image with a lower dimensionality.
