 * \brief Base class for all vector image interpolaters.
 *
 * VectorInterpolateImageFunction is the base for all ImageFunctions that
 * interpolates image with vector pixel types. This function outputs
 * a return value of type Vector<double,Dimension>.
 *
 * This class is templated input image type and the coordinate
 * representation type.
 *
 * \warning This hierarchy of functions work only for images 
 * with Vector-based pixel types. For scalar images use 
 * InterpolateImageFunction.
