/** 
 * JPEGEncodeParam encapsulates tables and options necessary to
 * control encoding of JPEG data streams.  Parameters are either set
 * explicitly by the application for encoding, or read from another
 * JPEG header.<p>

 * When working with BufferedImages, the codec will attempt to match
 * the encoded JPEG COLOR_ID with the ColorModel in the BufferedImage.
 * This is not always possible (the default mappings are listed
 * below).  In cases where unsupported conversions are required (or
 * odd image colorspaces are in use) the user must either convert the
 * image data to a known ColorSpace or encode the data from a raster.
 * When encoding rasters no colorspace adjustments are made, so the
 * user must do any conversions required to get to the encoded
 * COLOR_ID.
 
 * The COLOR_ID for the encoded images is used to control the JPEG
 * codec's inital values for Huffman and Quantization Tables as well
 * as subsampling factors. It is also used to determine what color
 * conversion should be performed to obtain the best encoding.<p>

 * Note: The color ids described herein are simply enumerated values
 * that influence data processing by the JPEG codec.  JPEG compression
 * is, by definition, color blind.  These values are used as hints when
 * compressing JPEG data.  Through these values the JPEG codec can
 * perform some default rotation of data into spaces that will aid in
 * getting better compression ratios.<P>

 * Example behaviour is described below.  Since these mappings are
 * likely to change in the future it is strongly recommended that you
 * make use of the @see JPEGImageEncoder.getDefaultParamBlock calls
 * and check the encodedColorID for your particular BufferedImage.

 * In extreme cases is may be necessary for the user to convert the
 * image to the desired colorspace, and encode it from a Raster.  In
 * this case the API programmer must specify the colorID of the data
 * in the Raster and no color conversion will take place.
 <pre>
 ENCODING:
 
 BufferedImage Type/Instance        JPEG (Encoded) Color ID
 ========================       =======================
 TYPE_GRAY                      COLOR_ID_GRAYSCALE
 TYPE_RGB                       COLOR_ID_YCbCr
 TYPE_YCbCr                     COLOR_ID_YCbCr
 TYPE_YCbCr/CS_PYCC             COLOR_ID_PYCC
 TYPE_CMYK                      COLOR_ID_CMYK
 TYPE_RGB   (w/ alpha)          COLOR_ID_YCbCrA
 TYPE_YCbCr (w/ alpha)          COLOR_ID_YCbCrA
 TYPE_YCbCr/CS_PYCC (w/ alpha)  COLOR_ID_PYCCA
 ** Any Other **                COLOR_ID_UNKNOWN
 </pre> 

 * When the user wants more control than the BufferedImage conversions
 * provide, the user must encode the data from a Raster. In this case
 * the data undergoes no color conversion at all. It is the user's
 * responsiblity to perform the desired conversions.<P>
 
 * If you intend to write a JFIF image (by including the APP0_MARKER)
 * the encoded COLOR_ID must be one of: COLOR_ID_UNKNOWN,
 * COLOR_ID_GRAYSCALE, COLOR_ID_YCbCr, or COLOR_ID_CMYK. In all other
 * instances an ImageformatException will be thrown.<P>

 * <B>IMPORTANT:</B> an Alpha RGB BufferedImage will not map to a
 * valid JFIF stream, you must strip off the alpha prior to encoding
 * if you want a JFIF file.  If the APP0 marker is set and you do not
 * strip off the Alpha, an ImageFormatException will be thrown.
 * <p>
 * Note that the classes in the com.sun.image.codec.jpeg package are not
 * part of the core Java APIs.  They are a part of Sun's JDK and JRE
 * distributions.  Although other licensees may choose to distribute these
 * classes, developers cannot depend on their availability in non-Sun
 * implementations.  We expect that equivalent functionality will eventually
 * be available in a core API or standard extension.
