* Metaphrasis is written in C++ and makes use of a community standard and newly developed algorithms for conversion of 32-bit RGBA data buffers into various GX texture formats common to both the Gamecube and Wii platforms.
*
* This library was developed in-full by Armin Tamzarian with the support of developers in \#wiidev on EFnet, Chaosteil of libwiisprite, and DrTwox of GRRLIB.
*
* \section sec_installation_source Installation (Source Code)
*
* -# Extract the Metaphrasis archive.
* -# Copy the contents of the src directory into your project's development path.
* -# Include the Metaphrasis header file in your code using syntax such as the following:
* \code
* #include "Metaphrasis.h"
* \endcode
*
* \section sec_installation_library Installation (Library)
*
* -# Extract the Metaphrasis archive.
* -# Copy the contents of the lib directory into your devKitPro/libogc directory.
* -# Include the Metaphrasis header file in your code using syntax such as the following:
* \code
* #include "Metaphrasis.h"
* \endcode
*
* \section sec_usage Usage
*
* -# Create a buffer full of 32-bit RGBA values noting both the pixel height and width of the buffer.
* -# Call one of the many conversion routines from within your code. (Note: All methods within the Metaphrasis class are static and thus no class instance need be allocated)
* \code
* uint32_t* rgba8Buffer = Metaphrasis::convertBufferToRGBA8(rgbaBuffer, bufferWidth, bufferHeight);
* \endcode
* -# Free your temporary RGBA value buffer if you no longer need said values.
*
* Currently supported conversion routines are as follows:
* \li convertBufferToI4
* \li convertBufferToI8
* \li convertBufferToIA4
* \li convertBufferToIA8
* \li convertBufferToRGBA8
* \li convertBufferToRGB565
* \li convertBufferToRGB5A3
