      extends MajorObject

  Class Band is an uninstanciable class providing various methods to access a single raster band (or channel).

  The Band class is a binding for the C++ GDALRasterBand class.

  Band objects are returned by methods from other classes, such as Dataset.GetRasterBand() Users of the Java bindings must be aware that the Java primitive types byte, short, int are signed types, whereas a few GDAL data types (GDT_Byte, GDT_UInt16 and GDT_UInt32) are unsigned. To read/write those data types, you may have to choose a "larger" type for example (short/GDT_Int16 for GDT_Byte, int/GDT_Int32 for GDT_UInt16, double/GDT_Float64 for GDT_UInt32), or use some tricks to hold unsigned values into signed data type. For example :

         byte[] byteArray = new byte[xsize * ysize];
         byte[] byteArray2 = new byte[xsize * ysize];
         band.ReadRaster(0, 0, xsize, ysize, gdalconst.GDT_Byte, byteArray);
         for(int j=0; j < ysize; j++)
         {
            for(int i=0; i < xsize; i++)
            {
                byte bVal = byteArray[j*xsize+i]; // ranging from -128 to 127
                int nVal = ((int)bVal) & 0xff; // remapped to range from 0 to 255
                int nVal2;
                if (nVal > threshold)
                    nVal2 = 255;
                else
                    nVal2 = 0;
                byte bVal2 = (nVal2 > 127) ? nVal2 - 256 : nVal2; // remapped to range from -128 to 127
                byteArray2[j*xsize+i] = bVal2;
            }
         }
         band2.WriteRaster(0, 0, xsize, ysize, gdalconst.GDT_Byte, byteArray2);

    - #### Checksum

          public int Checksum()

      Compute checksum for while image.

      Computes a 16bit (0-65535) checksum from data on the raster band. Floating point data is converted to 32bit integer so decimal portions of such raster data will not affect the checksum. Real and Imaginary components of complex bands influence the result.

      Returns:
        Checksum value.
      Since:
        Java bindings 1.7.0

    - #### GetStatistics

          public int GetStatistics(boolean approx_ok,

      Fetch image statistics.

      Returns the minimum, maximum, mean and standard deviation of all pixel values in this band. If approximate statistics are sufficient, the approx_ok flag can be set to true in which case overviews, or a subset of image tiles may be used in computing the statistics.

      If force is false results will only be returned if it can be done quickly (i.e. without scanning the data). If force is false and results cannot be returned efficiently, the method will return CE_Warning but no warning will have been issued. This is a non-standard use of the CE_Warning return value to indicate "nothing done".

      Note that file formats using PAM (Persistent Auxiliary Metadata) services will generally cache statistics in the .pam file allowing fast fetch after the first request.

      Parameters:
        `approx_ok` - If true statistics may be computed based on overviews or a subset of all tiles.
        `force` - If true statistics will only be returned if it can be done without rescanning the image.
        `min` - Allocated array of one double into which to load image minimum (may be null).
        `max` - Allocated array of one double into which to load image maximum (may be null).
        `mean` - Allocated array of one double into which to load image mean (may be null).
        `stddev` - Allocated array of one double into which to load image standard deviation (may be null).
      Returns:
        gdalconst.CE_None on success, gdalconst.CE_Warning if no values returned, gdalconst.CE_Failure if an error occurs.
      Since:
        Java bindings 1.7.0

      Fetch the "natural" block size of this band.

      GDAL contains a concept of the natural block size of rasters so that applications can organized data access efficiently for some file formats. The natural block size is the block size that is most efficient for accessing the format. For many formats this is simple a whole scanline in which case pnBlockXSize[0] is set to GetXSize(), and pnBlockXSize[1] is set to 1.

      However, for tiled images this will typically be the tile size.

      Note that the X and Y block sizes don't have to divide the image size evenly, meaning that right and bottom edge blocks may be incomplete. See ReadBlock_Direct() for an example of code dealing with these issues.

      Parameters:
        `pnBlockXSize` - allocated array of 1 integer to put the X block size into or null.
        `pnBlockYSize` - allocated array of 1 integer to put the Y block size into or null.

        `max` - maximum pixel value.
        `mean` - mean (average) of all pixel values.

      Compute checksum for image region.

      Computes a 16bit (0-65535) checksum from a region of raster data on the raster band. Floating point data is converted to 32bit integer so decimal portions of such raster data will not affect the checksum. Real and Imaginary components of complex bands influence the result.

      Parameters:
        `xoff` - pixel offset of window to read.
        `yoff` - line offset of window to read.
        `xsize` - pixel size of window to read.

      Compute the min/max values for a band.

      If approximate is OK, then the band's GetMinimum()/GetMaximum() will be trusted. If it doesn't work, a subsample of blocks will be read to get an approximate min/max. If the band has a nodata value it will be excluded from the minimum and maximum.

      If approx_ok is 0, then all pixels will be read and used to compute an exact range.

      Parameters:
        `minMaxArray` - the allocated array of 2 doubles in which the minimum (minMaxArray[0]) and the maximum (minMaxArray[1]) are returned.
        `approx_ok` - 1 if an approximate (faster) answer is OK, otherwise 0.

    - #### ComputeBandStats

          public void ComputeBandStats(double[] meanAndStdDevArray)

      Compute mean and standard deviation values.

      Same as below with samplestep == 1

    - #### Fill

          public int Fill(double real_fill,
                          double imag_fill)

      Fill this band with a constant value.

      GDAL makes no guarantees about what values pixels in newly created files are set to, so this method can be used to clear a band to a specified "default" value. The fill value is passed in as a double but this will be converted to the underlying type before writing to the file. An optional second argument allows the imaginary component of a complex constant value to be specified.

      Parameters:
        `real_fill` - Real component of fill value
        `imag_fill` - Imaginary component of fill value, defaults to zero
      Returns:
        gdalconst.CE_Failure if the write fails, otherwise gdalconst.CE_None

    - #### Fill

          public int Fill(double real_fill)

    - #### GetMaskBand

          public Band GetMaskBand()

      Return the mask band associated with the band.

      The GDALRasterBand class includes a default implementation of GetMaskBand() that returns one of four default implementations :

      - If a corresponding .msk file exists it will be used for the mask band.
      - If the dataset has a NODATA_VALUES metadata item, an instance of the new GDALNoDataValuesMaskBand class will be returned. GetMaskFlags() will return GMF_NODATA | GMF_PER_DATASET. @since GDAL 1.6.0
      - If the band has a nodata value set, an instance of the new GDALNodataMaskRasterBand class will be returned. GetMaskFlags() will return GMF_NODATA.
      - If there is no nodata value, but the dataset has an alpha band that seems to apply to this band (specific rules yet to be determined) and that is of type GDT_Byte then that alpha band will be returned, and the flags GMF_PER_DATASET and GMF_ALPHA will be returned in the flags.
      - If neither of the above apply, an instance of the new GDALAllValidRasterBand class will be returned that has 255 values for all pixels. The null flags will return GMF_ALL_VALID.

      Note that the GetMaskBand() should always return a GDALRasterBand mask, even if it is only an all 255 mask with the flags indicating GMF_ALL_VALID.

      Returns:
        a valid mask band.
      Since:
        GDAL 1.5.0

    - #### GetMaskFlags

          public int GetMaskFlags()

      Return the status flags of the mask band associated with the band.

      The GetMaskFlags() method returns an bitwise OR-ed set of status flags with the following available definitions that may be extended in the future:

      - GMF_ALL_VALID(0x01): There are no invalid pixels, all mask values will be 255. When used this will normally be the only flag set.
      - GMF_PER_DATASET(0x02): The mask band is shared between all bands on the dataset.
      - GMF_ALPHA(0x04): The mask band is actually an alpha band and may have values other than 0 and 255.
      - GMF_NODATA(0x08): Indicates the mask is actually being generated from nodata values. (mutually exclusive of GMF_ALPHA)

      The GDALRasterBand class includes a default implementation of GetMaskBand() that returns one of four default implementations :

      - If a corresponding .msk file exists it will be used for the mask band.
      - If the dataset has a NODATA_VALUES metadata item, an instance of the new GDALNoDataValuesMaskBand class will be returned. GetMaskFlags() will return GMF_NODATA | GMF_PER_DATASET. @since GDAL 1.6.0
      - If the band has a nodata value set, an instance of the new GDALNodataMaskRasterBand class will be returned. GetMaskFlags() will return GMF_NODATA.
      - If there is no nodata value, but the dataset has an alpha band that seems to apply to this band (specific rules yet to be determined) and that is of type GDT_Byte then that alpha band will be returned, and the flags GMF_PER_DATASET and GMF_ALPHA will be returned in the flags.
      - If neither of the above apply, an instance of the new GDALAllValidRasterBand class will be returned that has 255 values for all pixels. The null flags will return GMF_ALL_VALID.
      Returns:
        a valid mask band.

        RFC 15 - No data bit mask

    - #### CreateMaskBand

          public int CreateMaskBand(int nFlags)

      Adds a mask band to the current band.

      The default implementation of the CreateMaskBand() method is implemented based on similar rules to the .ovr handling implemented using the GDALDefaultOverviews object. A TIFF file with the extension .msk will be created with the same basename as the original file, and it will have as many bands as the original image (or just one for GMF_PER_DATASET). The mask images will be deflate compressed tiled images with the same block size as the original image if possible.

      Returns:
        gdalconst.CE_None on success or gdalconst.CE_Failure on an error.
      Since:
        GDAL 1.5.0

      Set default histogram
      Since:
        Java bindings 1.7.0

    - #### HasArbitraryOverviews

          public boolean HasArbitraryOverviews()

      Check for arbitrary overviews.

      This returns true if the underlying datastore can compute arbitrary overviews efficiently, such as is the case with OGDI over a network. Datastores with arbitrary overviews don't generally have any fixed overviews, but the ReadRaster() method can be used in downsampling mode to get overview data efficiently.

      Returns:
        true if arbitrary overviews available (efficiently), otherwise false.
      Since:
        Java bindings 1.7.0

    - #### GetCategoryNames

          public Vector GetCategoryNames()

      Fetch the list of category names for this raster.

      Raster values without associated names will have an empty string in the returned list. The first entry in the list is for raster values of zero, and so on.

      Returns:
        vector of names, or null if none.
      Since:
        GDAL 1.9.0

    - #### SetCategoryNames

          public int SetCategoryNames(Vector names)

      Set the category names for this band.

      See the GetCategoryNames() method for more on the interpretation of category names.

      Parameters:
        `names` - a vector of strings with category names. May be ,ull to just clear the existing list.
      Returns:
        gdalconst.CE_None on success, or gdalconst.CE_Failure on failure. If unsupported by the driver, CE_Failure is returned by no error message will have been emitted.
      Since:

    - #### ReadRaster_Direct

          public int ReadRaster_Direct(int xoff,
                                       int yoff,
                                       int xsize,
                                       int ysize,
                                       int buf_xsize,
                                       int buf_ysize,
                                       int buf_type,

                                       int nLineSpace)

      Read a region of image data for this band.

      This method allows reading a region of a GDALRasterBand into a buffer. It automatically takes care of data type translation if the data type (buf_type) of the buffer is different than that of the GDALRasterBand. The method also takes care of image decimation / replication if the buffer size (buf_xsize x buf_ysize) is different than the size of the region being accessed (xsize x ysize).

      The nPixelSpace and nLineSpace parameters allow reading into or writing from unusually organized buffers. This is primarily used for buffers containing more than one bands raster data in interleaved format.

      Some formats may efficiently implement decimation into a buffer by reading from lower resolution overview images.

      For highest performance full resolution data access, read on "block boundaries" as returned by GetBlockSize(int[], int[]), or use the ReadBlock(int, int, java.nio.ByteBuffer) method.

      When requesting a multi-byte datatype (GDT_Int16, GDT_Int32, GDT_Float32, ...), you should generally set the byte order of the buffer to the native order of the machine with nioBuffer.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder()) (the default is BIG_ENDIAN) if you use the getShort(), getInt(), getFloat() etc... methods of the ByteBuffer class.

      Parameters:
        `xoff` - The pixel offset to the top left corner of the region of the band to be accessed. This would be zero to start from the left side.
        `yoff` - The line offset to the top left corner of the region of the band to be accessed. This would be zero to start from the top.
        `xsize` - The width of the region of the band to be accessed in pixels.
        `ysize` - The height of the region of the band to be accessed in lines.
        `buf_xsize` - the width of the buffer image into which the desired region is to be read, or from which it is to be written.
        `buf_ysize` - the height of the buffer image into which the desired region is to be read, or from which it is to be written.
        `buf_type` - the type of the pixel values in the nioBuffer data buffer. One of gdalconstConstants.GDT_Byte, gdalconstConstants.GDT_Int16, ... The pixel values will automatically be translated to/from the GDALRasterBand data type as needed.
        `nioBuffer` - The buffer into which the data should be read. This buffer must contain at least buf_xsize * buf_ysize words of type buf_type. It is organized in left to right, top to bottom pixel order. Spacing is controlled by the nPixelSpace, and nLineSpace parameters.
        `nPixelSpace` - The byte offset from the start of one pixel value in the buffer to the start of the next pixel value within a scanline. If defaulted (0) the size of the datatype buf_type is used.
        `nLineSpace` - The byte offset from the start of one scanline in the buffer to the start of the next. If defaulted the size of the datatype buf_type * buf_xsize is used.
      Returns:
        CE_Failure if the access fails, otherwise CE_None.

      Write a region of image data for this band.

      This method allows writing data from a buffer into a region of the Band. It automatically takes care of data type translation if the data type (buf_type) of the buffer is different than that of the GDALRasterBand. The method also takes care of image decimation / replication if the buffer size (buf_xsize x buf_ysize) is different than the size of the region being accessed (xsize x ysize).

      The nPixelSpace and nLineSpace parameters allow reading into or writing from unusually organized buffers. This is primarily used for buffers containing more than one bands raster data in interleaved format.

      Some formats may efficiently implement decimation into a buffer by reading from lower resolution overview images.

      For highest performance full resolution data access, write on "block boundaries" as returned by GetBlockSize(int[], int[]), or use the WriteBlock(int, int, java.nio.ByteBuffer) method.

      Before writing into a multi-byte datatype buffer (GDT_Int16, GDT_Int32, GDT_Float32, ...), you should generally set the byte order of the buffer to the native order of the machine with nioBuffer.order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder()) (the default is BIG_ENDIAN) if you use the putShort(), putInt(), putFloat(), ... methods of the ByteBuffer class.

      Parameters:
        `xoff` - The pixel offset to the top left corner of the region of the band to be accessed. This would be zero to start from the left side.
        `yoff` - The line offset to the top left corner of the region of the band to be accessed. This would be zero to start from the top.
        `xsize` - The width of the region of the band to be accessed in pixels.
        `ysize` - The height of the region of the band to be accessed in lines.
        `buf_xsize` - the width of the buffer image from which the desired region is to be written.
        `buf_ysize` - the height of the buffer image from which the desired region is to be written.
        `buf_type` - the type of the pixel values in the nioBuffer data buffer. One of gdalconstConstants.GDT_Byte, gdalconstConstants.GDT_Int16, ... The pixel values will automatically be translated to/from the GDALRasterBand data type as needed.
        `nioBuffer` - The buffer into which the data should be read. This buffer must contain at least buf_xsize * buf_ysize words of type buf_type. It is organized in left to right, top to bottom pixel order. Spacing is controlled by the nPixelSpace, and nLineSpace parameters.
        `nPixelSpace` - The byte offset from the start of one pixel value in the buffer to the start of the next pixel value within a scanline. If defaulted (0) the size of the datatype buf_type is used.
        `nLineSpace` - The byte offset from the start of one scanline in the buffer to the start of the next. If defaulted the size of the datatype buf_type * buf_xsize is used.
      Returns:
        CE_Failure if the access fails, otherwise CE_None.

      Read a block of image data efficiently.

      This method accesses a "natural" block from the raster band without resampling, or data type conversion. For a more generalized, but potentially less efficient access use ReadRaster().

      Parameters:
        `nXBlockOff` - the horizontal block offset, with zero indicating the left most block, 1 the next block and so forth.
        `nYBlockOff` - the vertical block offset, with zero indicating the left most block, 1 the next block and so forth.
        `nioBuffer` - the buffer into which the data will be read. The buffer must be large enough to hold GetBlockXSize()*GetBlockYSize() words of type GetRasterDataType().
      Returns:
        gdalconst.CE_None on success or gdalconst.CE_Failure on an error.

    - #### GetHistogram

          public int GetHistogram(double min,
                                  double max,
                                  int[] histogram,
                                  boolean include_out_of_range,
                                  boolean approx_ok,
                                  ProgressCallback callback)

      Compute raster histogram.

      Note that the bucket size is (dfMax-dfMin) / nBuckets.

      For example to compute a simple 256 entry histogram of eight bit data, the following would be suitable. The unusual bounds are to ensure that bucket boundaries don't fall right on integer values causing possible errors due to rounding after scaling.

               int anHistogram = new int[256];

               band.GetHistogram( -0.5, 255.5, 256, anHistogram, false, false, null);

      Note that setting approx_ok will generally result in a subsampling of the file, and will utilize overviews if available. It should generally produce a representative histogram for the data that is suitable for use in generating histogram based luts for instance. Generally bApproxOK is much faster than an exactly computed histogram.

      Parameters:
        `min` - the lower bound of the histogram.
        `max` - the upper bound of the histogram.
        `histogram` - allocated array into which the histogram totals are placed.
        `include_out_of_range` - if true values below the histogram range will mapped into anHistogram[0], and values above will be mapped into anHistogram[anHistogram.length-1] otherwise out of range values are discarded.
        `approx_ok` - true if an approximate, or incomplete histogram OK.
        `callback` - for reporting algorithm progress. May be null
      Returns:
        gdalconst.CE_None on success, or gdalconst.CE_Failure if something goes wrong.

      Fetch default raster histogram.

      The default method in GDALRasterBand will compute a default histogram. This method is overridden by derived classes (such as GDALPamRasterBand, VRTDataset, HFADataset...) that may be able to fetch efficiently an already stored histogram.

      For example,

            double[] dfMin = new double[1];
            double[] dfMax = new double[1];
            int[][] panHistogram = new int[1][];
            int eErr = hBand.GetDefaultHistogram(dfMin, dfMax, panHistogram, true, new TermProgressCallback());
            if( eErr == gdalconst.CE_None )
            {
                int iBucket;
                int nBucketCount = panHistogram[0].length;
                System.out.print( "  " + nBucketCount + " buckets from " +
                                   dfMin[0] + " to " + dfMax[0] + ":\n  " );
                for( iBucket = 0; iBucket < nBucketCount; iBucket++ )
                    System.out.print( panHistogram[0][iBucket] + " ");
                System.out.print( "\n" );
            }

      Parameters:
        `min_ret` - allocated array of one double that will contain the lower bound of the histogram.
        `max_ret` - allocated array of one double that will contain the upper bound of the histogram.
        `histogram_ret` - allocated array of one int[] into which the histogram totals are placed.
        `force` - true to force the computation. If false and no default histogram is available, the method will return CE_Warning
        `callback` - for reporting algorithm progress. May be null
      Returns:
        gdalconst.CE_None on success, gdalconst.CE_Failure if something goes wrong, or gdalconst.CE_Warning if no default histogram is available.
