A simple container class to aggregate an image, a set of thumbnail (preview) images, and an object representing metadata associated with the image.

The image data may take the form of either a RenderedImage, or a Raster. Reader methods that return an IIOImage will always return a BufferedImage using the RenderedImage reference. Writer methods that accept an IIOImage will always accept a RenderedImage, and may optionally accept a Raster.

Exactly one of getRenderedImage and getRaster will return a non-null value. Subclasses are responsible for ensuring this behavior.
