  //##Documentation
  //## @brief BaseGeometry Describes the geometry of a data object
  //##
  //## The class holds
  //## \li a bounding box which is axes-parallel in intrinsic coordinates
  //## (often integer indices of pixels), to be accessed by
  //## GetBoundingBox()
  //## \li a transform to convert intrinsic coordinates into a
  //## world-coordinate system with coordinates in millimeters
  //## and milliseconds (all are floating point values), to
  //## be accessed by GetIndexToWorldTransform()
  //## \li an origin and spacing to define the geometry
  //##
  //## BaseGeometry and its sub-classes allow converting between
  //## intrinsic coordinates (called index or unit coordinates)
  //## and world-coordinates (called world or mm coordinates),
  //## e.g. WorldToIndex.
  //## In case you need integer index coordinates, provide an
  //## mitk::Index3D (or itk::Index) as target variable to
  //## WorldToIndex, otherwise you will get a continuous index
  //## (floating point values).
  //##
  //## An important sub-class is SlicedGeometry3D, which descibes
  //## data objects consisting of slices, e.g., objects of type Image.
  //## Conversions between world coordinates (in mm) and unit coordinates
  //## (e.g., pixels in the case of an Image) can be performed.
  //##
  //## For more information on related classes, see \ref Geometry.
  //##
  //## BaseGeometry instances referring to an Image need a slightly
  //## different definition of corners, see SetImageGeometry. This
  //## is usualy automatically called by Image.
  //##
  //## BaseGeometry have to be initialized in the method GenerateOutputInformation()
  //## of BaseProcess (or CopyInformation/ UpdateOutputInformation of BaseData,
  //## if possible, e.g., by analyzing pic tags in Image) subclasses. See also
  //## itk::ProcessObject::GenerateOutputInformation(),
  //## itk::DataObject::CopyInformation() and
  //## itk::DataObject::UpdateOutputInformation().
  //##
  //## At least, it can return the bounding box of the data object.
  //##
  //## The BaseGeometry class is an abstract class. The most simple implementation
  //## is the sublass Geometry3D.
  //##
  //## Rule: everything is in mm (ms) if not stated otherwise.
