/* NEAREST is nearest neighbor. It is the fastest and lowest quality.

   TILES is an accurate simulation of the PostScript image operator
   without any interpolation enabled; each pixel is rendered as a tiny
   parallelogram of solid color, the edges of which are implemented
   with antialiasing. It resembles nearest neighbor for enlargement,
   and bilinear for reduction.

   BILINEAR is bilinear interpolation. For enlargement, it is
   equivalent to point-sampling the ideal bilinear-interpolated
   image. For reduction, it is equivalent to laying down small tiles
   and integrating over the coverage area.

   HYPER is the highest quality reconstruction function. It is derived
   from the hyperbolic filters in Wolberg's "Digital Image Warping,"
   and is formally defined as the hyperbolic-filter sampling the ideal
   hyperbolic-filter interpolated image (the filter is designed to be
   idempotent for 1:1 pixel mapping). It is the slowest and highest
   quality.

   Note: at this stage of implementation, most filter modes are likely
   not to be implemented.

   Note: cubic filtering is missing from this list, because there isn't
   much point - hyper is just as fast to implement and slightly better
   in quality.
