/**
* A node in a rendered imaging chain.  A <code>RenderedOp</code> stores
* an operation name, a <code>ParameterBlock</code> containing sources and
* parameters, and a <code>RenderingHints</code> containing hints which
* may be used in rendering the node.  A set of nodes may be joined together
* via the source <code>Vector</code>s within their respective
* <code>ParameterBlock</code>s to form a <u>d</u>irected <u>a</u>cyclic
* <u>g</u>raph (DAG).  The topology, i.e., connectivity, of the graph may be
* altered by changing the node's sources.  The operation name, parameters,
* and rendering hints may also be changed.
*
* <p> Such chains are useful for example as arguments to a
* <code>RemoteImage</code>; they convey the structure of an imaging
* chain in a compact representation and at a suitably high level of
* abstraction to allow the server some leeway in materializing the
* results.  They are also useful in that a chain may be manipulated
* dynamically and rendered multiple times.  Thus for example the same
* chain of operations may be applied to different images or the parameters
* of certain operations in a chain may be modified interactively.
*
* <p> A <code>RenderedOp</code> may be constructed directly as, for example,
* <pre>
* <code>
* ParameterBlock pb =
*     (new ParameterBlock()).add("SomeFile.tif");
* RenderedOp node = new RenderedOp("fileload", pb, null);
* </code>
* </pre>
* or via the <code>create</code> or <code>createNS()</code> methods defined
* in the <code>JAI</code> class.  The difference between direct construction
* of a node and creation via a convenience method is that in the latter case:
*
* <ol>
* <li> It is verified that the operation supports the rendered mode.</li>
* <li> Using the <code>validateArguments()</code> method of the associated
*      <code>OperationDescriptor</code>, the arguments (sources and parameters)
*      are validated as being compatible with the specified operation.</li>
* <li> Global <code>RenderingHints</code> maintained by the <code>JAI</code>
*      instance are merged with the local <code>RenderingHints</code> with the
*      local hints taking precedence.</li>
* <li> If the operation is defined to be "immediate" (the
*      <code>isImmediate()</code> method of the corresponding
*      <code>OperationDescriptor</code> returns <code>true</code>)
*      then the node is rendered.</li>
* </ol>
*
* <p> When a chain of nodes is rendered by any means a "parallel" chain of
* <code>RenderedImage</code>s is created.  Each node in the chain of
* <code>RenderedOp</code>s corresponds to a node in the chain of
* <code>RenderedImage</code>s.  <code>RenderedImage</code> methods invoked
* on the <code>RenderedOp</code> are in general forwarded to the associated
* <code>RenderedImage</code> which is referred to as the <i>rendering</i>
* of the node.
*
* <p> The translation between <code>RenderedOp</code> chains and
* <code>RenderedImage</code> (usually <code>OpImage</code>) chains makes
* use of two levels of indirection provided by the
* <code>OperationRegistry</code> and <code>RenderedImageFactory</code>
* (RIF) facilities.  First, the local <code>OperationRegistry</code> is
* used to map the operation name into a RIF.  This RIF then constructs
* a <code>RenderedImage</code> (usually an <code>OpImage</code>) which
* does the actual image data processing.  The local
* <code>OperationRegistry</code> is used in order to take advantage
* of the best possible implementation of the operation, e.g., RIFs that
* provide acceleration for certain cases or RIFs that are known to a server
* without having to burden the client.
*
* <p> A node may be rendered explicitly by invoking the method
* <code>getRendering()</code> which also returns the rendering of the
* node.  A node may be rendered implicitly by invoking any method
* defined in the <code>RenderedImage</code> interface.  A node may also be
* rendered implicitly by invoking any method the execution of which
* <ul>
* <li> requires some dimensional quantity of the image such as its
* bounds or tile layout;</li>
* <li> retrieves image data by any means;</li>
* </ul>
* The current rendering may be obtained without forcing the rendering of
* an unrendered node via the method <code>getCurrentRendering()</code>.
* A node may also be re-rendered via <code>getNewRendering()</code> which
* regenerates the rendering from the existing set of sources, parameters,
* and hints.
*
* <p> A rendering of a node may also be obtained by means of the
* <code>createInstance()</code> method.  This method returns a
* <code>PlanarImage</code> rendering without marking the node as
* having been rendered.  If the node is not marked as rendered then it
* will not fire <code>RenderingChangeEvent</code>s as described below.
*
* <p> <code>RenderedOp</code> nodes may participate in Java Bean-style
* events.  The <code>PropertyChangeEmitter</code> methods may be used
* to register and unregister <code>PropertyChangeListener</code>s.
* <code>RenderedOp</code>s are also <code>PropertyChangeListener</code>s
* so that they may be registered as listeners of other
* <code>PropertyChangeEmitter</code>s or the equivalent.  Each
* <code>RenderedOp</code> also automatically receives any
* <code>RenderingChangeEvent</code>s emitted by any of its sources which
* are also <code>RenderedOp</code>s or any <code>CollectionChangeEvent</code>s
* from any <code>CollectionOp</code> sources.
*
* <p> Certain <code>PropertyChangeEvent</code>s may be emitted by the
* <code>RenderedOp</code>.  These include the
* <code>PropertyChangeEventJAI</code>s and
* <code>PropertySourceChangeEvent</code>s required by virtue of implementing
* the <code>OperationNode</code> interface.  Additionally a
* <code>RenderingChangeEvent</code> may be emitted if the node has already
* been rendered and both of the following conditions are satisfied:
* <ol>
* <li>A. any of the critical attributes is changed (edited), i.e., the
* operation name, operation registry, node sources, parameters, or rendering
* hints; or
* <br>B. the node receives a <code>RenderingChangeEvent</code> from one of
* its <code>RenderedOp</code> sources or a <code>CollectionChangeEvent</code>
* from one of its <code>CollectionOp</code> sources.</li>
* <li>the old and new renderings differ over some non-empty region.</li>
* </ol>
*
* <p> When a rendered <code>RenderedOp</code> node receives a
* <code>RenderingChangeEvent</code> from a <code>RenderedOp</code> source,
* then if the rendering is an <code>OpImage</code>, the region of
* the current rendering which may be retained will be determined by using
* <code>mapSourceRect()</code> to forward map the bounds of the invalid
* region.  A similar procedure is used for "InvalidRegion" events emitted
* by source <code>RenderedImage</code>s such as <code>TiledImage</code>s.
* If a critical attribute of the node is edited, then the
* <code>getInvalidRegion()</code> method of the corresponding
* <code>OperationDescriptor</code> will be used to determine the
* invalid region.  If the complement of the invalid region contains any tiles
* of the current rendering and the rendering is an <code>OpImage</code>, a
* new rendering of the node will be generated and the
* identified tiles will be retained from the old rendering insofar as
* possible.  This might involve for example adding tiles to a
* <code>TileCache</code> under the ownership of the new rendering.  A
* <code>RenderingChangeEvent</code> will then be fired to all
* <code>PropertyChangeListener</code>s of the node, and to any sinks that
* are <code>PropertyChangeListener</code>s.  The <code>newRendering</code>
* parameter of the event constructor (which may be retrieved via the
* <code>getNewValue()</code> method of the event) will be set to either
* the new rendering of the node or to <code>null</code> if it was not
* possible to retain any tiles of the previous rendering.
*
* <p> <code>RenderedOp</code> nodes are <code>WritablePropertySource</code>s
* and so manage a name-value database of image meta-data also known as image
* properties.  Properties may be set on and requested from a node.  The
* value of a property not explicitly set on the node (via
* <code>setProperty()</code>) is obtained from the property environment of
* the node.  When a property is derived from the property environment it is
* cached locally to ensure synchronization, i.e., that properties do not
* change spontaneously if for example the same property is modified upstream.
*
* <p> The property environment of a <code>RenderedOp</code> is initially
* derived from that of the corresponding <code>OperationDescriptor</code>
* as maintained by the <code>OperationRegistry</code>.  It may be modified
* locally by adding <code>PropertyGenerator</code>s, directives to copy
* certain properties from specific sources, or requests to suppress certain
* properties.  These modifications per se cannot be undone directly but
* may be eliminated as a side effect of other changes to the node as
* described below.
*
* <p> The <code>RenderedOp</code> itself synthesizes several property values,
* which may neither be set nor removed.  These are: <code>image_width</code>,
* <code>image_height</code>, <code>image_min_x_coord</code>,
* <code>image_min_y_coord</code>, <code>tile_cache</code> and
* <code>tile_cache_key</code>.  These properties are referred to as
* <i>synthetic properties</i>.  The property <code>tile_cache_key</code>
* has a value of type {@link TileCache} which indicates where the tiles
* of the rendering are cached, if anywhere.  The value of the property
* <code>tile_cache_key</code> is a {@link RenderedImage} by which the
* cached tiles are referenced in the indicated cache.  If the rendering
* is of type {@link OpImage} or
* {@link com.lightcrafts.mediax.jai.remote.PlanarImageServerProxy} then the value of
* <code>tile_cache_key</code> will be set to the rendering itself and the
* value of <code>tile_cache</code> to the value returned by invoking
* <code>getTileCache()</code> on the rendering.  Otherwise these properties
* will be set to the same values as the properties of the same names set
* on the rendering.  It is legal for these properties to have the value
* <code>java.awt.Image.UndefinedProperty</code>.
*
* <p> When a property value is requested an attempt will be made to derive
* it from the several entities in the following order of precedence:
* <ol>
* <li> synthetic properties; </li>
* <li> local properties; </li>
* <li> the rendering of the node; </li>
* <li> any registered <code>PropertyGenerator</code>s, or
* <br> a source specified via a copy-from-source directive;</li>
* <li> the first node source which defines the property. </li>
* </ol>
* Local properties are those which have been cached locally either by virtue
* of direct invocation of <code>setProperty()</code> or due to caching of a
* property derived from the property environment.  Note that the properties
* of a node are not copied to its rendering.
*
* <p> All dynamically computed properties of a <code>RenderedOp</code> which
* have been cached locally, i.e., those cached properties which were not set
* by an explicit call to <code>setProperty()</code>, will be cleared when any
* of the critical attributes of the node is edited.  By implication these
* properties will also be cleared when a <code>RenderingChangeEvent</code>
* is received from any node source.  The property environment or the cached
* properties may also be cleared by invoking <code>resetProperties()</code>.
*
* <p> As mentioned, a <code>RenderedOp</code> chain created on a client
* may be passed to a server via a <code>RemoteImage</code>.  Whether the
* node has been previously rendered is irrelevant to its ability to be
* serialized.  Any <code>RenderedImage</code> sources which are not
* <code>Serializable</code> will be wrapped in
* <code>SerializableRenderedImage</code>s for serialization.  The tile
* transmission parameters will be determined from the
* <code>RenderingHints</code> of the node.  All other non-serializable
* objects will attempt to be serialized using
* <code>SerializerFactory</code>.  If no <code>Serializer</code> is
* available for a particular object, a
* <code>java.io.NotSerializableException</code> may result.  Image
* properties (meta-data) are serialized insofar as they are serializable:
* non-serializable components are simply eliminated from the local cache
* of properties and from the property environment.
*
* <p> Note that <code>RenderedOp</code> nodes used to instantiate
* operations which have a corresponding <code>OperationDescriptor</code>
* the <code>isImmediate()</code> method of which returns
* <code>true</code> are rendered upon deserialization.
*
* <p> <code>RenderedOp</code> represents a single <code>PlanarImage</code>
* as a node in a <code>RenderedImage</code> operation chain.  Its companion
* classes, <code>RenderableOp</code> and <code>CollectionOp</code>, represent
* nodes in operation chains of <code>RenderableImage</code>s and
* <code>CollectionImage</code>s, respectively.
