public abstract class DataBlk extends Object
The data is always stored in one array, of the type matching the data type (i.e. for 'int' it's an 'int[]'). The data should be stored in the array in standard scan-line order. That is the samples go from the top-left corner of the code-block to the lower-right corner by line and then column.
The member variable 'offset' gives the index in the array of the first data element (i.e. the top-left coefficient (ulx,uly)). The member variable 'scanw' gives the width of the scan that is used to store the data, that can be different from the width of the block. Element '(x,y)' of the code-block (i.e. '(ulx,uly)' is the top-left coefficient), will appear at position 'offset+(y-uly)*scanw+(x-ulx)' in the array of data.
A block of data can have the progressive attribute set. Data is progressive when it is obtained by successive refinement and the values in this block are approximations of the "final" values. When the final values are returned the progressive attribute must be turned off.
The classes DataBlkInt and DataBlkFloat provide implementations for int and float types respectively.
DataBlkInt, 
DataBlkFloat| Modifier and Type | Field and Description | 
|---|---|
| int | hThe height of the block, in pixels. | 
| int | offsetThe offset in the array of the top-left coefficient | 
| boolean | progressiveThe progressive attribute (false by default) | 
| int | scanwThe width of the scanlines used to store the data in the array | 
| static int | TYPE_BYTEThe identifier for the byte data type, as signed 8
        bits. | 
| static int | TYPE_FLOATThe identifier for the float data type | 
| static int | TYPE_INTThe identifier for the int data type, as signed 32
        bits. | 
| static int | TYPE_SHORTThe identifier for the short data type, as signed 16
        bits. | 
| int | ulxThe horizontal coordinate (in pixels) of the upper-left corner
  of the block of data. | 
| int | ulyThe vertical coordinate of the upper-left corner of the block
  of data. | 
| int | wThe width of the block, in pixels. |

Each implementing class should provide a type specific equivalent method (e.g., getDataInt() in DataBlkInt) which returns an array of the correct type explicetely and not through an Object.
getDataType()public abstract void setData(Object arr)
The size of the array is not necessarily checked for consistency with w and h or any other fields.
Each implementing class should provide a type specific equivalent method (e.g., setDataInt() in DataBlkInt) which takes an array of the correct type explicetely and not through an Object.
