//:
// \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 clipped (threshold value argv[3], default 10) to argv[2]
//  which is always a PGM file image.
//  Uses vipl_threshold<section<ubyte,2>,section<ubyte,2>,ubyte,ubyte>.
//  The conversion between vil_image_view<ubyte> and the in-memory section<ubyte,2>
//  is done explicitly.
