* The base interface for all image data types in JIU.
* These image data classes and interfaces share the following properties:
* <ul>
* <li>They are made up of a rectangular grid of <em>pixels</em> (color dots) and
* have a fixed <em>width</em> (horizontal number of pixels) and <em>height</em>
* (vertical number of pixels).</li>
* <li>Coordinates to access pixels in the image are defined to run from 0 to
* WIDTH - 1 in horizontal direction from left to right and in vertical
* direction from 0 to HEIGHT - 1 (from top to bottom).</li>
* <li>They have one or more channels. A pixel at a given position is made up
* of the <em>samples</em> (primitive values) of all the channels at that
* position.
* A pixel can thus be considered a vector (in the mathematical sense) of one or more samples.
* Each channel has the same width and height.</li>
* </ul>
