/**
 * This interface describes single-input/single-output
 * operations performed on Raster objects.  It is implemented by such
 * classes as AffineTransformOp, ConvolveOp, and LookupOp.  The Source
 * and Destination objects must contain the appropriate number
 * of bands for the particular classes implementing this interface.
 * Otherwise, an exception is thrown.  This interface cannot be used to
 * describe more sophisticated Ops such as ones that take multiple sources.
 * Each class implementing this interface will specify whether or not it
 * will allow an in-place filtering operation (i.e. source object equal
 * to the destination object).  Note that the restriction to single-input
 * operations means that the values of destination pixels prior to the
 * operation are not used as input to the filter operation.
