/**
* This interface defines the methods to transfer image data in blocks,
* without following any particular order (random access). This interface does
* not define the methods to access the image characteristics, such as width,
* height, number of components, tiles, etc., or to change the current
* tile. That is provided by other interfaces such as ImgData.
*
* This interface has the notion of a current tile. All data, coordinates
* and dimensions are always relative to the current tile. If there is only
* one tile then it is equivalent as having no tiles.
*
*
A block of requested data may never cross tile boundaries. This should
* be enforced by the implementing class, or the source of image data.
*
*
This interface defines the methods that can be used to retrieve image
* data. Implementing classes need not buffer all the image data, they can ask
* their source to load the data they need.

* equivalent to the number of fractional bits. For instance, for
* fixed-point values with 2 fractional bits, 2 is returned. For
* floating-point data this value does not apply and 0 should be
* returned. Position 0 is the position of the least significant bit in
* the data.

* @param c The index of the component.

/**
* Returns, in the blk argument, a block of image data containing the
* specifed rectangular area, in the specified component. The data is
* returned, as a reference to the internal data, if any, instead of as a
* copy, therefore the returned data should not be modified.
*
*
The rectangular area to return is specified by the 'ulx', 'uly', 'w'
* and 'h' members of the 'blk' argument, relative to the current
* tile. These members are not modified by this method. The 'offset' and
* 'scanw' of the returned data can be arbitrary. See the 'DataBlk' class.
*
*
This method, in general, is more efficient than the 'getCompData()'
* method since it may not copy the data. However if the array of returned
* data is to be modified by the caller then the other method is probably
* preferable.
*
*
If possible, the data in the returned 'DataBlk' should be the
* internal data itself, instead of a copy, in order to increase the data
* transfer efficiency. However, this depends on the particular
* implementation (it may be more convenient to just return a copy of the
* data). This is the reason why the returned data should not be modified.
*
*
If the data array in blk is null, then a new one
* is created if necessary. The implementation of this interface may
* choose to return the same array or a new one, depending on what is more
* efficient. Therefore, the data array in blk prior to the
* method call should not be considered to contain the returned data, a
* new array may have been created. Instead, get the array from
* blk after the method has returned.
*
*
The returned data may have its 'progressive' attribute set. In this
* case the returned data is only an approximation of the "final" data.
*
* @param blk Its coordinates and dimensions specify the area to return,
* relative to the current tile. Some fields in this object are modified
* to return the data.
*
* @param c The index of the component from which to get the data.
*
* @return The requested DataBlk
*
* @see #getCompData

*
*
If the data array in 'blk' is 'null', then a new one is created. If
* the data array is not 'null' then it is reused, and it must be large
* enough to contain the block's data. Otherwise an 'ArrayStoreException'
