//:
// \file
//  This example program shows a typical use of the vipl_threshold IP class on
//  a ubyte image.  The input image (argv[1]) must be ubyte, and in that
//  case is thresholded (threshold value argv[3], default 127) to argv[2]
//  which is always a PGM file image.
//  Uses vipl_threshold<vil_image_view<ubyte>,vil_image_view<ubyte>,ubyte,ubyte>.
//  The input and output images are directly passed to the filter.
