This interface defines methods to access image attributes (width, height, number of components, etc.) of multiresolution images, such as those resulting from an inverse wavelet transform. The image can be tiled or not (i.e. if the image is not tiled then there is only 1 tile). It should be implemented by all classes that provide multi-resolution image data, such as entropy decoders, dequantizers, etc. This interface, however, does not define methods to transfer image data (i.e. pixel data), that is defined by other interfaces, such as 'CBlkQuantDataSrcDec'.

This interface is very similar to the 'ImgData' one. It differs only by the fact that it handles multiple resolutions.

Resolution levels are counted from 0 to L. Resolution level 0 is the lower resolution, while L is the maximum resolution level, or full resolution, which is returned by 'getMaxResLvl()'. Note that there are L+1 resolution levels available.

As in the 'ImgData' interface a multi-resolution image lies on top of a canvas. The canvas coordinates are mapped from the full resolution reference grid (i.e. resolution level 'L' reference grid) to a resolution level 'l' reference grid by '(x_l,y_l) = (ceil(x_l/2^(L-l)),ceil(y_l/2^(L-l)))', where '(x,y)' are the full resolution reference grid coordinates and '(x_l,y_l)' are the level 'l' reference grid coordinates.

For details on the canvas system and its implications consult the 'ImgData' interface.

Note that tile sizes may not be obtained by simply dividing the tile size in the reference grid by the subsampling factor.
