/**
 * This abstract class defines a lookup table object.  ByteLookupTable
 * and ShortLookupTable are subclasses, which
 * contain byte and short data, respectively.  A lookup table
 * contains data arrays for one or more bands (or components) of an image
 * (for example, separate arrays for R, G, and B),
 * and it contains an offset which will be subtracted from the
 * input values before indexing into the arrays.  This allows an array
 * smaller than the native data size to be provided for a
 * constrained input.  If there is only one array in the lookup
 * table, it will be applied to all bands.  All arrays must be the
 * same size.
