/**
 * A class describing how a stream is to be encoded.  Instances of
 * this class or its subclasses are used to supply prescriptive
 * "how-to" information to instances of <code>ImageWriter</code>.
 *
 * <p> A plug-in for a specific image format may define a subclass of
 * this class, and return objects of that class from the
 * <code>getDefaultWriteParam</code> method of its
 * <code>ImageWriter</code> implementation.  For example, the built-in
 * JPEG writer plug-in will return instances of
 * <code>javax.imageio.plugins.jpeg.JPEGImageWriteParam</code>.
 *
 * <p> The region of the image to be written is determined by first
 * intersecting the actual bounds of the image with the rectangle
 * specified by <code>IIOParam.setSourceRegion</code>, if any.  If the
 * resulting rectangle has a width or height of zero, the writer will
 * throw an <code>IIOException</code>. If the intersection is
 * non-empty, writing will commence with the first subsampled pixel
 * and include additional pixels within the intersected bounds
 * according to the horizontal and vertical subsampling factors
 * specified by {@link IIOParam#setSourceSubsampling
 * IIOParam.setSourceSubsampling}.
 *
 * <p> Individual features such as tiling, progressive encoding, and
 * compression may be set in one of four modes.
 * <code>MODE_DISABLED</code> disables the features;
 * <code>MODE_DEFAULT</code> enables the feature with
 * writer-controlled parameter values; <code>MODE_EXPLICIT</code>
 * enables the feature and allows the use of a <code>set</code> method
 * to provide additional parameters; and
 * <code>MODE_COPY_FROM_METADATA</code> copies relevant parameter
 * values from the stream and image metadata objects passed to the
 * writer.  The default for all features is
 * <code>MODE_COPY_FROM_METADATA</code>.  Non-standard features
 * supplied in subclasses are encouraged, but not required to use a
 * similar scheme.
 *
 * <p> Plug-in writers may extend the functionality of
 * <code>ImageWriteParam</code> by providing a subclass that implements
 * additional, plug-in specific interfaces.  It is up to the plug-in
 * to document what interfaces are available and how they are to be
 * used.  Writers will silently ignore any extended features of an
 * <code>ImageWriteParam</code> subclass of which they are not aware.
 * Also, they may ignore any optional features that they normally
 * disable when creating their own <code>ImageWriteParam</code>
 * instances via <code>getDefaultWriteParam</code>.
 *
 * <p> Note that unless a query method exists for a capability, it must
 * be supported by all <code>ImageWriter</code> implementations
 * (<i>e.g.</i> progressive encoding is optional, but subsampling must be
 * supported).
