/** \class ImageDuplicator
 * \brief A helper class which creates an image which is perfect copy of the input image.
 *
 * This class is NOT a filter. Although it has an API similar to a filter, this class
 * is not intended to be used in a pipeline. Instead, the typical use will be like
 * it is illustrated in the following code:
 *
   \code
       medianFilter->Update();
       ImageType::Pointer image = medianFilter->GetOutput();
       using DuplicatorType = itk::ImageDuplicator< ImageType >;
       DuplicatorType::Pointer duplicator = DuplicatorType::New();
       duplicator->SetInputImage(image);
       duplicator->Update();
       ImageType::Pointer clonedImage = duplicator->GetOutput();
   \endcode
 *
 * Note that the Update() method must be called explicitly in the filter
 * that provides the input to the ImageDuplicator object. This is needed
 * because the ImageDuplicator is not a pipeline filter.
