Detailed Description

A Region is simply an area, as the name implies, and is implemented as a "y-x-banded" array of rectangles. To explain: Each Region is made up of a certain number of rectangles sorted by y coordinate first, and then by x coordinate.

Furthermore, the rectangles are banded such that every rectangle with a given upper-left y coordinate (y1) will have the same lower-right y coordinate (y2) and vice versa. If a rectangle has scanlines in a band, it will span the entire vertical distance of the band. This means that some areas that could be merged into a taller rectangle will be represented as several shorter rectangles to account for shorter rectangles to its left or right but within its "vertical scope".

An added constraint on the rectangles is that they must cover as much horizontal area as possible. E.g. no two rectangles in a band are allowed to touch.

Whenever possible, bands will be merged together to cover a greater vertical distance (and thus reduce the number of rectangles). Two bands can be merged only if the bottom of one touches the top of the other and they have rectangles in the same places (of the same width, of course). This maintains the y-x-banding that's so nice to have...
