  Description
  ContextualRenderedImageFactory
  ContextualRenderedImageFactory provides an interface for the functionality that may differ between instances of RenderableImageOp.
  ParameterBlock
  A `ParameterBlock` encapsulates all the information about sources and parameters (Objects) required by a RenderableImageOp, or other classes that process images.
  RenderableImage
  A RenderableImage is a common interface for rendering-independent images (a notion which subsumes resolution independence).
  RenderableImageOp
  This class handles the renderable aspects of an operation with help from its associated instance of a ContextualRenderedImageFactory.
  RenderableImageProducer
  An adapter class that implements ImageProducer to allow the asynchronous production of a RenderableImage.
  RenderContext
  A RenderContext encapsulates the information needed to produce a specific rendering from a RenderableImage.
  RenderedImageFactory
  The RenderedImageFactory interface (often abbreviated RIF) is intended to be implemented by classes that wish to act as factories to produce different renderings, for example by executing a series of BufferedImageOps on a set of sources, depending on a specific set of parameters, properties, and rendering hints.
