Starting in version 0.9 of the FITS library, this routine allows users to defer the reading of images if the FITS data is being read from a file. An ImageTiler object is supplied which can return an arbitrary subset of the image as a one dimensional array -- suitable for manipulation by standard Java libraries. A call to the getData() method will still return a multi-dimensional array, but the image data will not be read until the user explicitly requests. it.
