Description:

this class represents four-color (2 bit / pixel) images
(as used mainly on the NeXT).
It mainly consists of methods already implemented in Image,
reimplemented here for more performance.

#blackIs0 / #whiteIs0 and #palette formats are supported here.

Class protocol:

 imageDepth

return the depth of images represented by instances of
this class - here we return 2

Instance protocol:

 pixelAtX: x y: y

retrieve a pixel at x/y; return a pixel value (0..3).
The interpretation of the returned value depends on the photometric
and the colormap. See also Image>>atX:y:)
Pixels start at x=0 , y=0 for upper left pixel, end at
x = width-1, y=height-1 for lower right pixel

 pixelAtX: x y: y put: aPixelValue

set the pixel at x/y to aPixelValue (0..3).
The interpretation of the pixelValue depends on the photometric
and the colormap. (see also: Image>>atX:y:put:)
Pixels start at x=0 , y=0 for upper left pixel, end at
x = width-1, y=height-1 for lower right pixel

 anyImageAsTrueColorFormOn: aDevice

return a true-color device-form for the receiver.
Supports true color devices with depths: 8, 16, 24 and 32

 greyImageAsTrueColorFormOn: aDevice

return a true-color device-form for the grey-image receiver.
Supports true color devices with depths: 8, 16, 24 and 32

 paletteImageAsTrueColorFormOn: aDevice

return a true-color device-form for the palette-image receiver.
Supports true color devices with depths: 8, 16, 24 and 32

 rgbImageAsTrueColorFormOn: aDevice

return a true-color device-form for the rgb-image receiver.
Supports true color devices with depths: 8, 16, 24 and 32

 orderedDitheredMonochromeBitsWithDitherMatrix: ditherMatrix ditherWidth: dW

return the dithered monochrome bits for the receiver image;
with a constant ditherMatrix, this can be used for thresholding.
Redefined to make use of knowing that pixels are 2-bit values.

 colorsAtY: y from: xLow to: xHigh do: aBlock

perform aBlock for each pixel from x1 to x2 in row y.
The block is passed the color at each pixel.
This method allows slighly faster processing of an
image than using atX:y:, since some processing can be
avoided when going from pixel to pixel. However, for
real image processing, specialized methods should be written.

 valuesAtY: y from: xLow to: xHigh do: aBlock

WARNING: this enumerates pixel values which need photometric interpretation
Do not confuse with #rgbValuesAtY:from:to:do:

Perform aBlock for each pixelValue from x1 to x2 in row y.

Notice the difference between rgbValue and pixelValue: rgbValues are always
the rgb bytes; pixelvalues depend on the photometric interpretation, and may be
indices into a colormap or be non-byte-sized rgb values.

The block is passed the x coordinate and the pixelValue at each pixel.
This method allows slighly faster processing of an
image than using valueAtX:y:, since some processing can be
avoided when going from pixel to pixel. However, for
real image processing, specialized methods should be written.

 magnifyRowFrom: srcBytes offset: srcStart into: dstBytes offset: dstStart factor: mX

magnify a single pixel row - can only magnify by integer factors

 bitsPerPixel

return the number of bits per pixel

 bitsPerRow

return the number of bits in one scanline of the image

 bytesPerRow

return the number of bytes in one scanline of the image

 colorFromValue: colorValue

given a pixel value, return the corresponding color.
Pixel values start with 0.

 usedColors

return a collection of colors used in the receiver.
For depth2 images, we return the colorMap here, assuming all
pixels are used ...
... which is not really true - not all colors need to be

 usedValues

return a collection of color values used in the receiver.
For depth2 images, we assume all pixel values are present ...
... which is not really true
