All Implemented Interfaces:
RenderedImage, WritableRenderedImage, Transparency
public class BufferedImage extends Image implements WritableRenderedImage, Transparency
The BufferedImage subclass describes an Image with an accessible buffer of image data. A BufferedImage is comprised of a ColorModel and a Raster of image data. The number and types of bands in the SampleModel of the Raster must match the number and types required by the ColorModel to represent its color and alpha components. All BufferedImage objects have an upper left corner coordinate of (0, 0). Any Raster used to construct a BufferedImage must therefore have minX=0 and minY=0.

This class relies on the data fetching and setting methods of Raster, and on the color characterization methods of ColorModel.

      Images with 2 or 4 bits per pixel may be constructed via the BufferedImage constructor that takes a ColorModel argument by supplying a ColorModel with an appropriate map size.

      Images with 8 bits per pixel should use the image types TYPE_BYTE_INDEXED or TYPE_BYTE_GRAY depending on their ColorModel.

      When color data is stored in an image of this type, the closest color in the colormap is determined by the IndexColorModel and the resulting index is stored. Approximation and loss of alpha or color components can result, depending on the colors in the IndexColorModel colormap.

      When color data is stored in an image of this type, the closest color in the colormap is determined by the IndexColorModel and the resulting index is stored. Approximation and loss of alpha or color components can result, depending on the colors in the IndexColorModel colormap.

      public BufferedImage(int width, int height, int imageType, IndexColorModel cm)
      Constructs a BufferedImage of one of the predefined image types: TYPE_BYTE_BINARY or TYPE_BYTE_INDEXED.

      If the image type is TYPE_BYTE_BINARY, the number of entries in the color model is used to determine whether the image should have 1, 2, or 4 bits per pixel. If the color model has 1 or 2 entries, the image will have 1 bit per pixel. If it has 3 or 4 entries, the image with have 2 bits per pixel. If it has between 5 and 16 entries, the image will have 4 bits per pixel. Otherwise, an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.

      Parameters:

      height - height of the created image
      imageType - type of the created image
      cm - IndexColorModel of the created image

If the number and types of bands in the SampleModel of the Raster do not match the number and types required by the ColorModel to represent its color and alpha components, a RasterFormatException is thrown. This method can multiply or divide the color Raster data by alpha to match the alphaPremultiplied state in the ColorModel. Properties for this BufferedImage can be established by passing in a Hashtable of String/Object pairs.
      Parameters:
      cm - ColorModel for the new image
      raster - Raster for the image data
      isRasterPremultiplied - if true, the data in the raster has been premultiplied with alpha.
      properties - Hashtable of String/Object pairs.
      Throws:
      RasterFormatException - if the number and types of bands in the SampleModel of the Raster do not match the number and types required by the ColorModel to represent its color and alpha components.
      IllegalArgumentException - if raster is incompatible with cm

      public WritableRaster getAlphaRaster()
      Returns a WritableRaster representing the alpha channel for BufferedImage objects with ColorModel objects that support a separate spatial alpha channel, such as ComponentColorModel and DirectColorModel. Returns null if there is no alpha channel associated with the ColorModel in this image. This method assumes that for all ColorModel objects other than IndexColorModel, if the ColorModel supports alpha, there is a separate alpha channel which is stored as the last band of image data. If the image uses an IndexColorModel that has alpha in the lookup table, this method returns null since there is no spatially discrete alpha channel. This method creates a new WritableRaster, but shares the data array.

      Computes an arbitrary rectangular region of the BufferedImage and copies it into a specified WritableRaster. The region to be computed is determined from the bounds of the specified WritableRaster. The specified WritableRaster must have a SampleModel that is compatible with this image. If outRaster is null, an appropriate WritableRaster is created.
      Specified by:

      Parameters:
      r - the specified Raster
      See Also:

    • addTileObserver

      public void addTileObserver(TileObserver to)
      Adds a tile observer. If the observer is already present, it receives multiple notifications.

      This method ignores its parameters and does nothing, since BufferedImage is always checked out for writing and cannot be made read-only, so there can never be events to dispatch.

      Specified by:
      addTileObserver in interface WritableRenderedImage
      Parameters:
      to - the specified TileObserver

    • removeTileObserver

      public void removeTileObserver(TileObserver to)
      Removes a tile observer. If the observer was not registered, nothing happens. If the observer was registered for multiple notifications, it is now registered for one fewer notification.

      This method ignores the given observer, since addTileObserver(TileObserver) adds none.

      Specified by:
      removeTileObserver in interface WritableRenderedImage
      Parameters:
      to - the specified TileObserver.

    • isTileWritable

      public boolean isTileWritable(int tileX, int tileY)
      Returns whether or not a tile is currently checked out for writing. The only tile in a BufferedImage is at (0,0) and it is always writable, so calling this method with (0,0) will always return true, and any other coordinate will cause an exception to be thrown.
      Specified by:
      isTileWritable in interface WritableRenderedImage
      Parameters:
      tileX - the x index of the tile.
      tileY - the y index of the tile.
      Returns:
      true if the tile specified by the specified indices is checked out for writing; false otherwise.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if either tileX or tileY is not equal to 0

    • getWritableTileIndices

      public Point[] getWritableTileIndices()
      Returns an array of Point objects indicating which tiles are checked out for writing. Returns null if none are checked out.

      Since a BufferedImage consists of a single tile, and that tile is always checked out for writing, this method returns an array of one point. Further, the offset shall be consistent with getMinTileX() and getMinTileY(), which are always (0,0) in BufferedImage. That will always be the coordinates of the single returned Point.

      Specified by:
      getWritableTileIndices in interface WritableRenderedImage
      Returns:
      a Point array that indicates the tiles that are checked out for writing, or null if no tiles are checked out for writing.

    • hasTileWriters

      public boolean hasTileWriters()
      Returns whether or not any tile is checked out for writing. Semantically equivalent to 
       (getWritableTileIndices() != null).
      Specified by:
      hasTileWriters in interface WritableRenderedImage
      Returns:
      true if any tile is checked out for writing; false otherwise.

    • getWritableTile

      public WritableRaster getWritableTile(int tileX, int tileY)
      Checks out a tile for writing. All registered TileObservers are notified when a tile goes from having no writers to having one writer.

      This method unconditionally returns the single tile without checking the passed values. No listeners are notified since the returned tile is always checked out for writing.

      Specified by:
      getWritableTile in interface WritableRenderedImage
      Parameters:
      tileX - the x index of the tile
      tileY - the y index of the tile
      Returns:
      a WritableRaster that is the tile, indicated by the specified indices, to be checked out for writing.

    • releaseWritableTile

      public void releaseWritableTile(int tileX, int tileY)
      Relinquishes permission to write to a tile. If the caller continues to write to the tile, the results are undefined. Calls to this method should only appear in matching pairs with calls to getWritableTile(int, int). Any other leads to undefined results. All registered TileObservers are notified when a tile goes from having one writer to having no writers.

      This method immediately returns without checking the passed values. No listeners are notified since the single tile is always checked out for writing.

      Specified by:
      releaseWritableTile in interface WritableRenderedImage
      Parameters:
      tileX - the x index of the tile
      tileY - the y index of the tile
