Class IIOImage

public class IIOImage
extends Object

A simple container class to aggregate an image, a set of thumbnail (preview) images, and an object representing metadata associated with the image.

The image data may take the form of either a RenderedImage, or a Raster. Reader methods that return an IIOImage will always return a BufferedImage using the RenderedImage reference. Writer methods that accept an IIOImage will always accept a RenderedImage, and may optionally accept a Raster.

Exactly one of getRenderedImage and getRaster will return a non-null value. Subclasses are responsible for ensuring this behavior.

Constructors

IIOImage

public IIOImage(RenderedImage image,
                List<? extends BufferedImage> thumbnails,
                IIOMetadata metadata)

Constructs an IIOImage containing a RenderedImage, and thumbnails and metadata associated with it.

All parameters are stored by reference.

The thumbnails argument must either be null or contain only BufferedImage objects.

Parameters:
image - a RenderedImage.
thumbnails - a List of BufferedImages, or null.
metadata - an IIOMetadata object, or null.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if image is null.

IIOImage

public IIOImage(Raster raster,
                List<? extends BufferedImage> thumbnails,
                IIOMetadata metadata)

Constructs an IIOImage containing a Raster, and thumbnails and metadata associated with it.

All parameters are stored by reference.

Parameters:
raster - a Raster.
thumbnails - a List of BufferedImages, or null.
metadata - an IIOMetadata object, or null.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if raster is null.

Methods

getRenderedImage

hasRaster

public boolean hasRaster()

Returns true if this IIOImage stores a Raster rather than a RenderedImage.

Returns:
true if a Raster is available.

getRaster

Returns:
a Raster, or null.
See Also:
setRaster(java.awt.image.Raster)

setRaster

public void setRaster(Raster raster)

Sets the current Raster. The value is stored by reference. Any existing RenderedImage is discarded.

Returns a thumbnail associated with the main image.

Parameters:
index - the index of the desired thumbnail image.
Returns:
a thumbnail image, as a BufferedImage.
