// .NAME vtkImageBlend - blend images together using alpha or opacity
// .SECTION Description
// vtkImageBlend takes L, LA, RGB, or RGBA images as input and blends them 
// according to the alpha values and/or the opacity setting for each input.
//
// The spacing, origin, extent, and number of components of the output are
// the same as those for the first input.  If the input has an alpha
// component, then this component is copied unchanged into the output.
// In addition, if the first input has either one component or two
// components i.e. if it is either L (greyscale) or LA (greyscale + alpha)
// then all other inputs must also be L or LA.
//
// Different blending modes are available:
//
// \em Normal (default) : 
// This is the standard blending mode used by OpenGL and other graphics
// packages.  The output always has the same number of components
// and the same extent as the first input.  The alpha value of the first
// input is not used in the blending computation, instead it is copied
// directly to the output.
//
// \code
// output <- input[0]
// foreach input i {
//   foreach pixel px {
//     r <- input[i](px)(alpha) * opacity[i]
//     f <- (255 - r)
//     output(px) <- output(px) * f + input(px) * r
//   }
// }
// \endcode
//
// \em Compound : 
// Images are compounded together and each component is scaled by the sum of
// the alpha/opacity values. Use the CompoundThreshold method to set 
// specify a threshold in compound mode. Pixels with opacity*alpha less
// or equal than this threshold are ignored.
// The alpha value of the first input, if present, is NOT copied to the alpha 
// value of the output.  The output always has the same number of components
// and the same extent as the first input.
//
// \code
// output <- 0
// foreach pixel px {
//   sum <- 0
//   foreach input i {
//     r <- input[i](px)(alpha) * opacity(i)
//     sum <- sum + r
//     if r > threshold {
//       output(px) <- output(px) + input(px) * r
//     }
//   }
//   output(px) <- output(px) / sum
// }
// \endcode
