 *
 *  We give twelve pixaDisplay*() methods for tiling a pixa in a pix.
 *  Some work for 1 bpp input; others for any input depth.
 *  Some give an output depth that depends on the input depth;
 *  others give a different output depth or allow you to choose it.
 *  Some use a boxes to determine where each pix goes; others tile
 *  onto a regular lattice; others tile onto an irregular lattice;
 *  one uses an associated index array to determine which column
 *  each pix goes into.
 *
 *  Here is a brief description of what the pixa display functions do.
 *
 *    pixaDisplay()
 *        This uses the boxes in the pixa to lay out each pix.  This
 *        can be used to reconstruct a pix that has been broken into
 *        components, if the boxes represents the positions of the
 *        components in the original image.
 *    pixaDisplayRandomCmap()
 *        This also uses the boxes to lay out each pix.  However, it creates
 *        a colormapped dest, where each 1 bpp pix is given a randomly
 *        generated color (up to 256 are used).
 *    pixaDisplayLinearly()
 *        This puts each pix, sequentially, in a line, either horizontally
 *        or vertically.
 *    pixaDisplayOnLattice()
 *        This puts each pix, sequentially, onto a regular lattice,
 *        omitting any pix that are too big for the lattice size.
 *        This is useful, for example, to store bitmapped fonts,
 *        where all the characters are stored in a single image.
 *    pixaDisplayUnsplit()
 *        This lays out a mosaic of tiles (the pix in the pixa) that
 *        are all of equal size.  (Don't use this for unequal sized pix!)
 *        For example, it can be used to invert the action of
 *        pixaSplitPix().
 *    pixaDisplayTiled()
 *        Like pixaDisplayOnLattice(), this places each pix on a regular
 *        lattice, but here the lattice size is determined by the
 *        largest component, and no components are omitted.  This is
 *        dangerous if there are thousands of small components and
 *        one or more very large one, because the size of the resulting
 *        pix can be huge!
 *    pixaDisplayTiledInRows()
 *        This puts each pix down in a series of rows, where the upper
 *        edges of each pix in a row are aligned and there is a uniform
 *        spacing between the pix.  The height of each row is determined
 *        by the tallest pix that was put in the row.  This function
 *        is a reasonably efficient way to pack the subimages.
 *        A boxa of the locations of each input pix is stored in the output.
 *    pixaDisplayTiledInColumns()
 *        This puts each pix down in a series of rows, each row having
 *        a specified number of pix.  The upper edges of each pix in a
 *        row are aligned and there is a uniform spacing between the pix.
 *        The height of each row is determined by the tallest pix that
 *        was put in the row.  A boxa of the locations of each input
 *        pix is stored in the output.
 *    pixaDisplayTiledAndScaled()
 *        This scales each pix to a given width and output depth, and then
 *        tiles them in rows with a given number placed in each row.
 *        This is useful for presenting a sequence of images that can be
 *        at different resolutions, but which are derived from the same
 *        initial image.
 *    pixaDisplayTiledWithText()
 *        This is a version of pixaDisplayTiledInRows() that prints, below
 *        each pix, the text in the pix text field.  It renders a pixa
 *        to an image with white background that does not exceed a
 *        given value in width.
 *    pixaDisplayTiledByIndex()
 *        This scales each pix to a given width and output depth,
 *        and then tiles them in columns corresponding to the value
 *        in an associated numa.  All pix with the same index value are
 *        rendered in the same column.  Text in the pix text field are
 *        rendered below the pix.
 *
 *  To render mosaics of images in a pixaa, display functions are
 *  provided that handle situations where the images are all scaled to
 *  the same size, or the number of images on each row needs to vary.

 * Notes:
 *      (1) This renders a pair of pixa in a single image with &nx columns of
 *          tiled pairs.  The background color is white, and each row
 *          is tiled such that the top of each pix is aligned.
 *          The pix are displayed in pairs, taken from the input pixas.
 *          Input %pixas1 and %pixas2 must have the same count of pix.
 *      (2) If %fontsize != 0, text is displayed below each pair, and the
 *          output depth is 32 bpp.  If %sa is defined, the text is taken
 *          sequentially from %sa; otherwise, an integer is displayed with
 *          numbers chosen consecutively starting with %startindex.
 *      (3) If %fontsize == 0, the output depth is determined by the largest
 *          depth required by the pix in the pixa.  Colormaps are removed.
 *      (4) Start with these values and tune for aesthetics:
 *            %nx = 5, %spacing1 = %spacing2 = 15, %border1 = %border2 = 2,
 *            %fontsize = 8.

 * Notes:
 *      (1) Operations that generate a pix by tiling from a pixa, and
 *          the inverse that generate a pixa from tiles of a pix,
 *          are useful.  One such pair is pixaDisplayUnsplit() and
 *          pixaSplitPix().  This function is a very simple one that
 *          generates a pixa from tiles of a pix. There are two cases:
 *            - the tiles can all be the same size (the inverse of
 *              pixaDisplayOnLattice(), or
 *            - the tiles can differ in size, where there is an
 *              associated boxa (the inverse of pixaCreateFromBoxa().
 *      (2) If all tiles are the same size, %w by %h, use %boxa = NULL.
 *          If the tiles differ in size, use %boxa to extract the
 *          individual images (%w and %h are then ignored).
 *      (3) If the pix was made by pixaDisplayOnLattice(), the number
 *          of tiled images is written into the text field, in the format
 *               n = <number>.
 *      (4) Typical usage: a set of character templates all scaled to
 *          the same size can be stored on a lattice of that size in
 *          a pix, and this function can regenerate the pixa.  If the
 *          templates differ in size, a boxa generated when the tiled
 *          pix was made can be used to indicate the location of
 *          the templates.
