//:
// \file
//  This example program shows a typical use of the vipl_add_random_noise IP class
//  on a ubyte image.  The input image (argv[1]) must be ubyte, and in that
//  case random noise is added to it (Gaussian, with sigma argv[3], default
//  1) to argv[2] which is always a PGM file image.
//  Uses vipl_add_random_noise<vil_image_view<ubyte>,vil_image_view<ubyte>,ubyte,ubyte>.
//  The input and output vil_image_views are directly passed to the filter.
