Returns the position of the fixed point in the specified component. This is the position of the least significant integral (i.e. non-fractional) bit, which is equivalent to the number of fractional bits. For instance, for fixed-point values with 2 fractional bits, 2 is returned. For floating-point data this value does not apply and 0 should be returned. Position 0 is the position of the least significant bit in the data.
This default implementation assumes that the wavelet transform does not modify the fixed point. If that were the case this method should be overriden.
