Interface ImageEncoder

All Known Implementing Classes:

ImageEncoderImpl

public interface ImageEncoder

An interface describing objects that transform a BufferedImage or Raster into an OutputStream.

This interface is not a committed part of the JAI API. It may be removed or changed in future releases of JAI.

Method Summary

void	encode(Raster ras, ColorModel cm) Encodes a Raster with a given ColorModel and writes the output to the OutputStream associated with this ImageEncoder.
void	encode(RenderedImage im) Encodes a RenderedImage and writes the output to the OutputStream associated with this ImageEncoder.
OutputStream	getOutputStream() Returns the OutputStream associated with this ImageEncoder.
ImageEncodeParam	getParam() Returns the current parameters as an instance of the ImageEncodeParam interface.
void	setParam(ImageEncodeParam param) Sets the current parameters to an instance of the ImageEncodeParam interface.

Method Detail

getParam

public ImageEncodeParam getParam()

Returns the current parameters as an instance of the ImageEncodeParam interface. Concrete implementations of this interface will return corresponding concrete implementations of the ImageEncodeParam interface. For example, a JPEGImageEncoder will return an instance of JPEGEncodeParam.

setParam

public void setParam(ImageEncodeParam param)

Sets the current parameters to an instance of the ImageEncodeParam interface. Concrete implementations of ImageEncoder may throw a RuntimeException if the params argument is not an instance of the appropriate subclass or subinterface. For example, a JPEGImageEncoder will expect param to be an instance of JPEGEncodeParam.

getOutputStream

public OutputStream getOutputStream()

Returns the OutputStream associated with this ImageEncoder.

encode

public void encode(Raster ras,
                   ColorModel cm)
            throws IOException

Encodes a Raster with a given ColorModel and writes the output to the OutputStream associated with this ImageEncoder.

Throws:

IOException

encode

public void encode(RenderedImage im)
            throws IOException

Encodes a RenderedImage and writes the output to the OutputStream associated with this ImageEncoder.

Throws:

IOException
