===Module Description===

Cast a volume to a given data type.

Use at your own risk when casting an input volume into a lower precision type!

Allows casting to the same type as the input volume.

== Usage ==

===Use Cases, Examples===

This module is especially appropriate for these use cases:

* Use Case 1: when an algorithm requires a specific data type for an input volume.
* Use Case 2:

Examples of the module in use:

* Example 1
* Example 2

===Quick Tour of Features and Use===
List all the panels in your interface, their features, what they mean, and how to use them. For instance:

* '''Cast Image panel:'''
**Select a parameter set
**See the status of the module
* '''IO panel:'''
**Select an input volume to cast
**Select an output volume in which to place the cast results, or create a new one.
* '''Filter Settings panel:'''
**Select the output type for the new volume:
***Char: -128 to 128
***Int: signed integer
***Float: floating point
***Unsigned Char (default): 0 to 255
***Unsigned Int: positive integer
***Double: double floating point
***Short: short integer
***Long: long integer
***Unsigned Short: unsigned short integer
***Unsigned Long: unsigned long integer
