/** \class DistanceMetric
 * \brief this class declares common interfaces 
 * for distance functions.
 *
 * As a function derived from MembershipFunctionBase, 
 * users use Evaluate method to get result.
 * 
 * To use this function in the context of MembershipFunction,
 * users should first set the origin by calling SetOrigin() function,
 * then call Evaluate() method with a point to get the distance between
 * the origin point and the evaluation point.
 * 
 * If users want to the distance between two points without setting
 * the origin point. Use two argument version of Evaluate() function.
 * 
 * The class can be templated over any container that holds data elements. The 
 * containter is expected to provide access to its elements with the [] operator.
 * It must also implement a Size() that returns the length of the container.
 * It must also contain a typedef "ValueType" that defines the data-type held
 * by the container.
 * (In other words it will support itk::Vector, FixedArray, Array ).
 *
 * <b>Recent API changes:</b>
 * The static const macro to get the length of a measurement vector,
 * \c MeasurementVectorSize  has been removed to allow the length of a measurement
 * vector to be specified at run time. Please use the function 
 * GetMeasurementVectorSize() instead. \c OriginType typedef has been changed 
 * from Vector to Array.
