-/// Expands an Adam 7 pass
+/// Copies pixels from `interlaced_row` into the right location in `img`.
+///
+/// First bytes of `img` should belong to the top-left corner of the currently decoded frame.
+///
+/// `img_row_stride` specifies an offset in bytes between subsequent rows of `img`.
+/// This can be the width of the current frame being decoded, but this is not required - a bigger
+/// stride may be useful if the frame being decoded is a sub-region of `img`.
+///
+/// `interlaced_row` and `interlace_info` typically come from `Reader.next_interlaced_row`, but
+/// this is not required.  In particular, before calling `expand_interlaced_row` one may need to
+/// expand the decoded row, so that its format and `bits_per_pixel` matches that of `img`.
+/// Note that in initial Adam7 passes the `interlaced_row` may contain less pixels that the width
+/// of the frame being decoded (e.g. it contains only 1/8th of pixels in the initial pass).
