`class` ImageData

ImageData holds unpacked image data. The data is stored in an FieldData object as value fields. For simplicity all images are implemented as 3D images, but has an extent of 1 in Z for 2D images, and an extent of 1 in both Y and Z for 1D images. Cube maps are stored as a 3D image with Z-depth of 6 (one for each side)
