'''
This script creates 3 images in Python and utilizes a DM-script
to create and show a color-overlay image. It is an example for
how Hybrid scripts can be used to access functionality not (yet)
available in the Python language directly. The script shows how 
image-labels can be used to address images across the two scripts.
