// <synopsis> 
// TiledFileAccess is a class that makes it possible to access
// an arbitrary array in a file using the tiled storage manager classes.
// It can handle arrays of any type supported by the tiled storage
// managers. The array can be in big or little endian canonical format.
// <p>
// See <linkto class=ROTiledStManAccessor>ROTiledStManAccessor</linkto>
// for a more detailed discussion.
// </synopsis> 
 
// <motivation>
// This class makes it possible to access an image in a FITS file.
// </motivation>
 
// <example>
// <srcblock>
//  // Define the object which also opens the file.
//  // The (float) array starts at offset 2880.
//  TiledFileAccess tfa ("fits.file", 2880, IPosition(2,512,512),
//                       IPosition(2,512,1), TpFloat);
//  // Get all the data.
//  Array<Float> data = tfa.getFloat (Slicer(IPosition(2,0,0), tfa.shape()));
