 * \section sec_intro Introduction
 *
 * Metaphrasis is a static conversion class for transforming RGBA image buffers into verious GX texture formats for Wii homebrew development.
 * <br>
 * 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.
 * <p>
 * This library was developed in-full by Armin Tamzarian with the support of developers in \#wiibrew 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 <i>src</i> 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 <i>lib</i> directory into your <i>devKitPro/libogc</i> 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
 *
