 * an entire image has been updated (via the
 * <code>imageStarted</code>, <code>imageComplete</code>,
 * <code>thumbnailStarted</code> and <code>thumbnailComplete</code>
 * methods).  Applications that wish to be informed of pixel updates
 * as they happen (for example, during progressive decoding), should
 * provide an <code>IIOReadUpdateListener</code>.
