// <synopsis> 
// The LCSlicer makes it possible to define a rectangular box
// with strides. Note that this class is not derived from
// <linkto class=LCRegion>LCRegion</linkto>, so it cannot be used in
// a compound region object like <linkto class=LCUnion>LCUnion</linkto>.
// The reason is that strides make it impossible to use a region
// in a compound.
// <br>
// The slicer region can be defined from an
// <linkto class=Slicer>Slicer</linkto> object defining the blc/trc
// and a vector (of the same length) containing the strides.
// The LCSlicer can be of any type (thus relative, fractional, unspecified),
// while the strides can be defined as a number or a fraction.
// <br>
// It is also possible to construct it directly from a
// <linkto class=Slicer>Slicer</linkto> object, 
// </synopsis>

    // the dimensionality of the region. The shorter ones get padded
    // with default values.
    // <br> For each axis (or all axes) it can be defined if the blc/trc are
    // given as pixel coordinates or as fractional values between 0 and 1. In the
    // latter case the true pixel coordinate is derived from the image shape.
