An
AuxiliaryImageInfo
is an abstract base class for classes that need to hold auxiliary information for an image.
The reason for having a seperate class for this (as opposed to putting auxiliary information directly into {@link ImageInfo}) is because:
- The information can be specific for a given type of image and an image's type isn't known at the time an {@link ImageInfo} isconstructed.
- Not every {@link ImageInfo} needs or has auxiliary information.
Currently, this class is empty so {@link Object} could have been usedinstead of having a whole new class. However, this class serves as a placeholder in case any data or methods need to be added in the future.
