Generate a cube with a constant value

This program can be used to generate an output cube of user specified dimensions with a constant value for each of the pixels. In general, it is more useful as a development tool than as a standard image processing tool. For example, a person developing software to compute statistics on a cube can used this program to create the degenerate case.
