After executing this method the image data contained within the CFitsFile object will look something like the image below. Note that larger image dimensions will result in more "striped" blocks, while smaller image dimensions will result in fewer "striped" blocks. The image below is for a 512x600 pixel image.

        // This code demonstrates how to create a 512x600
        // 16-bit CFitsFile object and fill it with test
        // data.
