// .NAME vtkMetaImageWriter - write a binary UNC meta image data
// .SECTION Description
// One of the formats for which a reader is already available in the toolkit is
// the MetaImage file format. This is a fairly simple yet powerful format
// consisting of a text header and a binary data section. The following
// instructions describe how you can write a MetaImage header for the data that
// you download from the BrainWeb page.
//
// The minimal structure of the MetaImage header is the following:
//
//    NDims = 3
//    DimSize = 181 217 181
//    ElementType = MET_UCHAR
//    ElementSpacing = 1.0 1.0 1.0
//    ElementByteOrderMSB = False
//    ElementDataFile = brainweb1.raw
//
//    * NDims indicate that this is a 3D image. ITK can handle images of
//      arbitrary dimension.
//    * DimSize indicates the size of the volume in pixels along each
//      direction.
//    * ElementType indicate the primitive type used for pixels. In this case
//      is "unsigned char", implying that the data is digitized in 8 bits /
//      pixel.
//    * ElementSpacing indicates the physical separation between the center of
//      one pixel and the center of the next pixel along each direction in space.
//      The units used are millimeters.
//    * ElementByteOrderMSB indicates is the data is encoded in little or big
//      endian order. You might want to play with this value when moving data
//      between different computer platforms.
//    * ElementDataFile is the name of the file containing the raw binary data
//      of the image. This file must be in the same directory as the header. 
//
// MetaImage headers are expected to have extension: ".mha" or ".mhd"
//
// Once you write this header text file, it should be possible to read the
// image into your ITK based application using the itk::FileIOToImageFilter
// class.
