// This test file demonstrates how to use packed pixel formats in GIL.
// A "packed" pixel is a pixel whose channels are bit ranges.
// Here we create an RGB image whose pixel has 16-bits, such as:
// bits [0..6] are the blue channel
// bits [7..13] are the green channel
// bits [14..15] are the red channel
// We read a regular 8-bit RGB image, convert it to packed BGR772, convert it back to 8-bit RGB and save it to a file.
// Since the red channel is only two bits the color loss should be observable in the result
//
// This test file also demonstrates how to use bit-aligned images - these are images whose pixels themselves are not byte aligned.
// For example, an rgb222 image has a pixel whose size is 6 bits. Bit-aligned images are more complicated than packed images. They
// require a special proxy class to represent pixel reference and pixel iterator (packed images use C++ reference and C pointer respectively).
// The alignment parameter in the constructor of bit-aligned images is in bit units. For example, if you want your bit-aligned image to have 4-byte
// alignment of its rows use alignment of 32, not 4.
//
// To demonstrate that image view transformations work on packed images, we save the result transposed.
