Generate mipmaps for 2D images.
 
 
;SYNOPSIS:
 
:./MipmapGen2D [-f format -s brickSize] imageFilename maxLevel
 
:./MipmapGen2D [-f format -s brickSize] inputBatchFilename maxLevel [outputBatchFilename]
 
 
;DESCRIPTION:
 
:'''Generate mipmaps for an image:'''
 
:Generate mipmaps for an image specified by imageFilename, from level 0 (the original image size) to the level specified by maxLevel. If the maxLevel is -1, MipmapGen2D generates all the mipmaps from the original image size to the biggest size smaller than the brickSize.
 
 
:'''Generate mipmaps for a set of images:'''
 
:Generate mipmaps for a set of images listed in the inputBatchFilename, all from level 0 (the original image size) to the level specified by maxLevel. 
 
 
:If outputBatchFilename is specified, MipmapGen2D assumes the image set is an animation, and generates a single text file which lists mipmaps for each frame and timestamps. If outputBatchFilename is not specified, it’s the same as a batch mipmaps generation. MipmapGen2D generates mipmaps and a text file for each image in the set, as if they are generated separately.
 
 
;OPTIONS:
 
:'''-f format'''
 
::Specify file format for the output mipmaps. Default is mix.
 
::sep: Save all pixels of a channel together, i.e. RRR…R, GGG…G, BBB…B
 
::mix: Save channels of one pixel together, i.e. RGB, RGB, RGB…RGB
 
:'''-s brickSize'''
 
::Specify the brick size. Default is 128.
 
 
;VERSION
 
:Current version only supports TIFF image. The input TIFF image should be uncompressed. Only the data chunk specified by the first image file directory (IFD) will be processed.
 
 
;FILE FORMAT
 
:#Mipmaps
 
:For each mipmap level of an image, we divide the output mipmap into fixed size bricks (Fig. 1), and save all the bricks of one mipmap level to one file.
