/**
 * A codec to read Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) image files.
 *
 * <h3>Usage example</h3>
 * Load an image from a TIFF file.
 * <pre>
 * TIFFCodec codec = new TIFFCodec();
 * codec.setFile("image.tif", CodecMode.LOAD);
 * codec.process();
 * PixelImage loadedImage = codec.getImage();
 * </pre>
 * Saving images is not supported by this codec.
 *
 * <h3>Compression types</h3>
 * <h4>Reading</h4>
 * The TIFF package supports the following compression types when reading:
 * <ul>
 * <li><em>Uncompressed</em>. Compression method number 1. Works with all types of image data. See {@link TIFFDecoderUncompressed}.</li>
 * <li><em>Packbits</em>. Compression method number 32773. Works with all types of image data. See {@link TIFFDecoderPackbits}.</li>
 * <li><em>CCITT Group 3 1-Dimensional Modified Huffman runlength encoding</em>. Compression method number 2. 
 *  Works with bilevel image data only. See {@link TIFFDecoderModifiedHuffman}.</li>
 * <li><em>Deflated</em>. Compression method number 8 or 32946. Works with all types of image data. See {@link TIFFDecoderDeflated}.</li>
 * <li><em>LogLuv RLE</em> and <em>LogLuv 24</em>. Compression method numbers 34676 and 34677. Works only with LogLuv color data. See {@link TIFFDecoderLogLuv}.</li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * Note that you can write your own decoder (extending {@link TIFFDecoder}) for any compression type
 * you want.
 * </p>
 *
 * <h3>Image types</h3>
 * <h4>Reading</h4>
 * The TIFF package supports the following image / color types when reading:
 * <ul>
 * <li><em>Black &amp; white</em>. JIU image data type {@link net.sourceforge.jiu.data.BilevelImage}.</li>
 * <li><em>Grayscale, 4 and 8 bits per pixel</em>. JIU image data type {@link net.sourceforge.jiu.data.Gray8Image}.</li>
 * <li>TODO add other image types</li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * Note that you can write your own decoder (extending {@link TIFFDecoder}) for any compression type
 * you want.
 * </p>
 *
 * <h4>Writing</h4>
 * <p>Writing TIFFs is not supported. 
 * I don't know if or when it will be supported.</p>
 *
 * <h3>Strips and tiles</h3>
 * The early versions of TIFF considered an image to be a sequence of <em>strips</em>.
 * Each strip was a rectangular part of the image, as wide as the complete image, 
 * and with a certain height defined by the <em>rows per strip</em> tag.
 * So with a number of rows per strip of 10, and an image height of 200, you would
 * have to store 20 strips.
 * It was recommended that a strip should not be larger than 8 KB (RAM was tighter
 * in those days).
 * The rule of thumb to define the number of rows per strip was to see how many rows
 * would fit into 8 KB.
 * <p>
 * Later, the concept of <em>tiles</em> was added to the TIFF specs.
 * Tiled TIFFs are separated into rectangles that not only had a defineable
 * height but also a defineable width (tile width and tile height are also stored in
 * corresponding tags).
 * <p>
 * Obviously, strips are just a special case of tiles, with the tile width being equal
 * to image width.
 * That is why JIU internally only deals with tiles.
 * The only difference: No row padding takes place for strips.
 * In a tiled image with a tile height of 10 and an image height of 14, 
 * the image is two tiles high.
 * 
 * <h3>Number of images</h3>
 * TIFF allows for multiple images in a single file.
 * This codec regards the image index, queries {@link #getImageIndex} and skips to the
 * correct image.
 *
 * <h3>Bounds</h3>
 * The bounds concept of JIU is supported by this codec.
 * So you can specify bounds of a rectangular part of an image that you want to load
 * instead of loading the complete image.
 *
 * <h3>Color spaces</h3>
 * The following color spaces are understood when reading truecolor TIFF files.
 * <ul>
 * <li><em>RGB</em> - should cover most truecolor files.</li>
 * <li><em>CMYK</em> - is supported, but colors may not be exactly right.
 *  CMYK data is converted to RGB on the fly, so the codec user never accesses CMYK data.</li>
 * <li><em>LogLuv</em> - is supported, but not all flavors yet.</li>
 * </ul>
 * <h3>Physical resolution</h3>
 * DPI information can be stored in TIFF files.
 * If that information is available, this codec retrieves it so that it
 * can be queried using {@link #getDpiX} and {@link #getDpiY}.
 *
 * <h3>Background information on TIFF</h3>
 * TIFF is an important image file format for DTP (desktop publishing).
 * The advantages of TIFF include its flexibility, availability of libraries to read
 * and write TIFF files and its good support in existing software.
 * The major disadvantage of TIFF is its complexity, which makes it hard for software
 * to support all possible valid TIFF files.
 * <p>
 * TIFF was created by Aldus and now <em>belongs</em> to Adobe, who offer a specification document: 
 * <a target="_top" href="http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/PDFS/TN/TIFF6.pdf">TIFF
 * (Tagged Image File Format) 6.0 Specification</a> (updated on Web September, 20 1995, 
 * document dated June, 3 1992) (PDF: 385 KB / 121 pages).
 * <p>
 * Other good references include the <a target="_top" href="http://www.libtiff.org">homepage 
 * of libtiff</a>, a free C library to read and write TIFF files and
 * <a target="_top" href="http://home.earthlink.net/~ritter/tiff/">The Unofficial TIFF
 * homepage</a> by Niles Ritter.
 * Also see <a target="_top" href="http://dmoz.org/Computers/Data_Formats/Graphics/Pixmap/TIFF/">the TIFF section</a>
 * of the <a target="_top" href="http://www.dmoz.org">Open Directory</a>.
 * <p>
 * TIFF is used for various specialized tasks.
 * As an example, see <a target="_top" href="http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff/geotiff.html">GeoTIFF</a> (geographical
 * data) or <a target="_top" href="http://www.ba.wakwak.com/~tsuruzoh/index-e.html">EXIF</a>
 * (digital camera metadata; this is actually a TIFF directory embedded in a JPEG header).
 * <p>
 * Here's a list of features that make TIFF quite complex:
 * <ul>
 * <li>More than one image can be stored in a TIFF file.</li>
 * <li>Integer values that are larger than one byte can be in either little or big endian byte order.</li>
 * <li>Various color types are supported (bilevel, gray, paletted, all kinds of color spaces (RGB / YCbCr / CMYK).
 *  It's easy to add new color types, so this list can grow.</li>
 * <li>The meta data (information that describes the image and how it is stored) can be distributed all over 
 *  the file.</li>
 * <li>Image data is stored as packed bytes, 4-bit-nibbles, bytes and 16-bit-integers. Other types are possible
 *  as well.</li>
 * <li>Various compression types are supported; not all types can be used on all color types.</li>
 * <li>Image data can be stored in strips or tiles.</li>
 * <li>An arbitrary number of non-image-data samples can stored within the image data.</li>
 * <li>Color types with more than one sample per pixel can store data in an interleaved (<em>chunky</em>)
 *  way or in planes.</li>
 * <li>Different ways of defining black and white are possible with bilevel and grayscale images.</li>
 * </ul>
