//! Image representations for ffi.
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! Imagine you want to offer a very simple ffi interface: The caller provides an image buffer and
//! your program creates a thumbnail from it and dumps that image as `png`. This module is designed
//! to help you transition from raw memory data to Rust representation.
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use std::ptr;
//! use std::slice;
//! use image::Rgb;
//! use image::flat::{FlatSamples, SampleLayout};
//! use image::imageops::thumbnail;
//!
//! #[no_mangle]
//! pub extern "C" fn store_rgb8_compressed(
//!     data: *const u8, len: usize,
//!     layout: *const SampleLayout
//! )
//!     -> bool
//! {
//!     let samples = unsafe { slice::from_raw_parts(data, len) };
//!     let layout = unsafe { ptr::read(layout) };
//!
//!     let buffer = FlatSamples {
//!         samples,
//!         layout,
//!         color_hint: None,
//!     };
//!
//!     let view = match buffer.as_view::<Rgb<u8>>() {
//!         Err(_) => return false, // Invalid layout.
//!         Ok(view) => view,
//!     };
//!
//!     thumbnail(&view, 64, 64)
//!         .save("output.png")
//!         .map(|_| true)
//!         .unwrap_or_else(|_| false)
//! }

/// A flat buffer over a (multi channel) image.

/// In contrast to `ImageBuffer`, this representation of a sample collection is much more lenient
/// in the layout thereof. It also allows grouping by color planes instead of by pixel as long as
/// the strides of each extent are constant. This struct itself has no invariants on the strides
/// but not every possible configuration can be interpreted as a [`GenericImageView`] or
/// [`GenericImage`]. The methods [`as_view`] and [`as_view_mut`] construct the actual implementors
/// of these traits and perform necessary checks. To manually perform this and other layout checks
/// use [`is_normal`] or [`has_aliased_samples`].
///
/// Instances can be constructed not only by hand. The buffer instances returned by library
/// functions such as [`ImageBuffer::as_flat_samples`] guarantee that the conversion to a generic
/// image or generic view succeeds. A very different constructor is [`with_monocolor`]. It uses a
/// single pixel as the backing storage for an arbitrarily sized read-only raster by mapping each
/// pixel to the same samples by setting some strides to `0`.

    /// sample index is still as large as the largest of these strides while `min_length = 0`.

    /// ## Example with aliasing
    ///
    /// The concept gets even more important when you allow samples to alias each other. Here we
    /// have the buffer of a small grayscale image where this is the case, this time we will first
    /// show the buffer and then the individual rows below.

    ///
