// A \doxygen{MeshSpatialObject} contains a pointer to an \doxygen{Mesh} but adds the
// notion of spatial transformations and parent-child hierarchy.
// This example shows how to create an \doxygen{MeshSpatialObject},
// use it to form a binary image and how to write the mesh on disk.
//
// Let's begin by including the appropriate header file.
