Information about the pyramid-layer. It consists of two parts: the minification factor and the layer number. The minification factor specifies by which factor two adjacent pyramid-layers are shrunk. Commonly used in CZI are 2 or 3. The layer number starts with 0 with the highest resolution layer. The lowest level (layer 0) is denoted by pyramidLayerNo == 0 AND minificationFactor==0. Another special case is pyramidLayerNo == 0xff AND minificationFactor==0xff which means that the pyramid-layer could not be determined (=the minification factor could not unambiguously correlated to a pyramid-layer).
