As far as I understand, a region can be what you want; it can cover a 
entire layer, or just a small part (like the preview for plug-ins. Have a 
look here:

When you have initialized a region, you can access it pixel by pixel, row 
by row, or tile by tile, depending what you want to do (I guess each 
method has advantages, according to the filter you want to write).
