/**
 * \brief Read/write a region of image data for this band.
 *
 * This method allows reading a region of a GDALRasterBand into a buffer,
 * or writing data from a buffer into a region of a GDALRasterBand. It
 * automatically takes care of data type translation if the data type
 * (eBufType) of the buffer is different than that of the GDALRasterBand.
 * The method also takes care of image decimation / replication if the
 * buffer size (nBufXSize x nBufYSize) is different than the size of the
 * region being accessed (nXSize x nYSize).
 *
 * The nPixelSpace and nLineSpace parameters allow reading into or
 * writing from unusually organized buffers. This is primarily used
 * for buffers containing more than one bands raster data in interleaved
 * format. 
 *
 * Some formats may efficiently implement decimation into a buffer by
 * reading from lower resolution overview images.
 *
 * For highest performance full resolution data access, read and write
 * on "block boundaries" as returned by GetBlockSize(), or use the
 * ReadBlock() and WriteBlock() methods.
 *
 * This method is the same as the C GDALRasterIO() function.
 *
 * @param eRWFlag Either GF_Read to read a region of data, or GF_Write to
 * write a region of data.
 *
 * @param nXOff The pixel offset to the top left corner of the region
 * of the band to be accessed. This would be zero to start from the left side.
 *
 * @param nYOff The line offset to the top left corner of the region
 * of the band to be accessed. This would be zero to start from the top.
 *
 * @param nXSize The width of the region of the band to be accessed in pixels.
 *
 * @param nYSize The height of the region of the band to be accessed in lines.
 *
 * @param pData The buffer into which the data should be read, or from which
 * it should be written. This buffer must contain at least nBufXSize *
 * nBufYSize words of type eBufType. It is organized in left to right,
 * top to bottom pixel order. Spacing is controlled by the nPixelSpace,
 * and nLineSpace parameters.
 *
 * @param nBufXSize the width of the buffer image into which the desired region is
 * to be read, or from which it is to be written.
 *
 * @param nBufYSize the height of the buffer image into which the desired region is
 * to be read, or from which it is to be written.
 *
 * @param eBufType the type of the pixel values in the pData data buffer. The
 * pixel values will automatically be translated to/from the GDALRasterBand
 * data type as needed.
 *
 * @param nPixelSpace The byte offset from the start of one pixel value in
 * pData to the start of the next pixel value within a scanline. If defaulted
 * (0) the size of the datatype eBufType is used.
 *
 * @param nLineSpace The byte offset from the start of one scanline in
 * pData to the start of the next. If defaulted (0) the size of the datatype
 * eBufType * nBufXSize is used.
 *
 * @return CE_Failure if the access fails, otherwise CE_None.

 *
 * However, for tiled images this will typically be the tile size.

 * See ReadBlock() for an example of code dealing with these issues.
