Class JPEGQTable

java.lang.Object
javax.imageio.plugins.jpeg.JPEGQTable
public class JPEGQTable extends Object
A class encapsulating a single JPEG quantization table. The elements appear in natural order (as opposed to zig-zag order). Static variables are provided for the "standard" tables taken from Annex K of the JPEG specification, as well as the default tables conventionally used for visually lossless encoding.

For more information about the operation of the standard JPEG plug-in, see the JPEG metadata format specification and usage notes

  • Field Details

    • K1Luminance

      public static final JPEGQTable K1Luminance
      The sample luminance quantization table given in the JPEG specification, table K.1. According to the specification, these values produce "good" quality output.
      See Also:

    • K1Div2Luminance

      public static final JPEGQTable K1Div2Luminance
      The sample luminance quantization table given in the JPEG specification, table K.1, with all elements divided by 2. According to the specification, these values produce "very good" quality output. This is the table usually used for "visually lossless" encoding, and is the default luminance table used if the default tables and quality settings are used.
      See Also:

    • K2Chrominance

      public static final JPEGQTable K2Chrominance
      The sample chrominance quantization table given in the JPEG specification, table K.2. According to the specification, these values produce "good" quality output.
      See Also:

    • K2Div2Chrominance

      public static final JPEGQTable K2Div2Chrominance
      The sample chrominance quantization table given in the JPEG specification, table K.1, with all elements divided by 2. According to the specification, these values produce "very good" quality output. This is the table usually used for "visually lossless" encoding, and is the default chrominance table used if the default tables and quality settings are used.

  • Constructor Details

    • JPEGQTable

      public JPEGQTable(int[] table)
      Constructs a quantization table from the argument, which must contain 64 elements in natural order (not zig-zag order). A copy is made of the input array.
      Parameters:
      table - the quantization table, as an int array.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if table is null or table.length is not equal to 64.

  • Method Details

    • getTable

      public int[] getTable()
      Returns a copy of the current quantization table as an array of ints in natural (not zig-zag) order.
      Returns:
      A copy of the current quantization table.

    • getScaledInstance

      public JPEGQTable getScaledInstance(float scaleFactor, boolean forceBaseline)
      Returns a new quantization table where the values are multiplied by scaleFactor and then clamped to the range 1..32767 (or to 1..255 if forceBaseline is true).

      Values of scaleFactor less than 1 tend to improve the quality level of the table, and values greater than 1.0 degrade the quality level of the table.

      Parameters:
      scaleFactor - multiplication factor for the table.
      forceBaseline - if true, the values will be clamped to the range 1..255
      Returns:
      a new quantization table that is a linear multiple of the current table.

    • toString

      public String toString()
      Returns a String representing this quantization table.
      Overrides:
      toString in class Object
      Returns:
      a String representing this quantization table.
