// Global functions using Lattices
// </synopsis>
//
// <example>
// <h4>Example 1:</h4>
// Copy the lattice-type data between two Images.// <srcblock>
//
// PagedImage<Float> myImg ("myimagefile");
// Float lmin;
// Float lmax;
// IPosition posMin = myImg.shape();
// IPosition posMax = myImg.shape();
// minMax( lmin, lmax, posMin, posMax, myImg );
//
// </srcblock>
// </example>
//
//
// <motivation>
// Algorithms like CLEAN need to know the position of the MIN and MAX
// of an image, but easy things like LEL's min and max don't tell you
// the location of the min and max.  It seems there may be other global
// functions involving lattices.
// </motivation>

// <todo asof="1999/10/27">

//
// <group name=LatticeMathUtil>
 
// This global function finds the max of a Lattice, and also
// the IPositions of the max.  (LEL does not get you the IPositions of the
// min and max)
