PixelFormat

Specifieds a particular format of an archetypes.Image.

Most images can be described by a datatypes.ColorModel and a datatypes.ChannelDatatype, e.g. RGB and U8 respectively.

However, some image formats has chroma downsampling and/or use differing number of bits per channel, and that is what this datatypes.PixelFormat is for.

All these formats support random access.

For more compressed image formats, see archetypes.EncodedImage.
