Comments

This function must be called before using any bitmap segmentation functions.

When the handle to the segmentation is no longer needed, it should be freed by calling L_MrcStopBitmapSegmentation. For every call to L_MrcStartBitmapSegmentation there must be a call to L_MrcStopBitmapSegmentation.
