+/**
+ * A class representing a rectangular array of pixels.  A Raster
+ * encapsulates a DataBuffer that stores the sample values and a
+ * SampleModel that describes how to locate a given sample value in a
+ * DataBuffer.
+ * <p>
+ * A Raster defines values for pixels occupying a particular
+ * rectangular area of the plane, not necessarily including (0, 0).
+ * The rectangle, known as the Raster's bounding rectangle and
+ * available by means of the getBounds method, is defined by minX,
+ * minY, width, and height values.  The minX and minY values define
+ * the coordinate of the upper left corner of the Raster.  References
+ * to pixels outside of the bounding rectangle may result in an
+ * exception being thrown, or may result in references to unintended
+ * elements of the Raster's associated DataBuffer.  It is the user's
+ * responsibility to avoid accessing such pixels.
+ * <p>
+ * A SampleModel describes how samples of a Raster
+ * are stored in the primitive array elements of a DataBuffer.
+ * Samples may be stored one per data element, as in a
+ * PixelInterleavedSampleModel or BandedSampleModel, or packed several to
+ * an element, as in a SinglePixelPackedSampleModel or
+ * MultiPixelPackedSampleModel.  The SampleModel is also
+ * controls whether samples are sign extended, allowing unsigned
+ * data to be stored in signed Java data types such as byte, short, and
+ * int.
+ * <p>
+ * Although a Raster may live anywhere in the plane, a SampleModel
+ * makes use of a simple coordinate system that starts at (0, 0).  A
+ * Raster therefore contains a translation factor that allows pixel
+ * locations to be mapped between the Raster's coordinate system and
+ * that of the SampleModel.  The translation from the SampleModel
+ * coordinate system to that of the Raster may be obtained by the
+ * getSampleModelTranslateX and getSampleModelTranslateY methods.
+ * <p>
+ * A Raster may share a DataBuffer with another Raster either by
+ * explicit construction or by the use of the createChild and
+ * createTranslatedChild methods.  Rasters created by these methods
+ * can return a reference to the Raster they were created from by
+ * means of the getParent method.  For a Raster that was not
+ * constructed by means of a call to createTranslatedChild or
+ * createChild, getParent will return null.
+ * <p>
+ * The createTranslatedChild method returns a new Raster that
+ * shares all of the data of the current Raster, but occupies a
+ * bounding rectangle of the same width and height but with a
+ * different starting point.  For example, if the parent Raster
+ * occupied the region (10, 10) to (100, 100), and the translated
+ * Raster was defined to start at (50, 50), then pixel (20, 20) of the
+ * parent and pixel (60, 60) of the child occupy the same location in
+ * the DataBuffer shared by the two Rasters.  In the first case, (-10,
+ * -10) should be added to a pixel coordinate to obtain the
+ * corresponding SampleModel coordinate, and in the second case (-50,
+ * -50) should be added.
+ * <p>
+ * The translation between a parent and child Raster may be
+ * determined by subtracting the child's sampleModelTranslateX and
+ * sampleModelTranslateY values from those of the parent.
+ * <p>
+ * The createChild method may be used to create a new Raster
+ * occupying only a subset of its parent's bounding rectangle
+ * (with the same or a translated coordinate system) or
+ * with a subset of the bands of its parent.
+ * <p>
+ * All constructors are protected.  The correct way to create a
+ * Raster is to use one of the static create methods defined in this
+ * class.  These methods create instances of Raster that use the
+ * standard Interleaved, Banded, and Packed SampleModels and that may
+ * be processed more efficiently than a Raster created by combining
+ * an externally generated SampleModel and DataBuffer.
