/** \brief Class to convert blocks of data from one type to another.
 *
 * ConvertPixelBuffer has a static method Convert().  It is used by
 * itkImageFileReader to convert from an unknown type at run-time to the
 * compile-time template pixel type in itkImageFileReader.  To work with
 * complex pixel types like RGB and RGBA a traits class is used.
 * OutputConvertTraits() is the traits class.  The default one used is
 * DefaultConvertPixelTraits.
