// This example illustrates how to read a series of 2D slices from independent
// files in order to compose a volume. The class \doxygen{ImageSeriesReader}
// is used for this purpose. This class works in combination with a generator
// of filenames that will provide a list of files to be read. In this
// particular example we use the \doxygen{NumericSeriesFileNames} class as a
// filename generator. This generator uses a \code{printf} style of string format
// with a ``\code{\%d}'' field that will be successively replaced by a number specified
// by the user. Here we will use a format like ``\code{file\%03d.png}'' for reading
// PNG files named file001.png, file002.png, file003.png... and so on.
//
// This requires the following headers as shown.
