Imports

RANDOMPIXELORDERback to summary
public static final int RANDOMPIXELORDER

The pixels will be delivered in a random order. This tells the ImageConsumer not to use any optimizations that depend on the order of pixel delivery, which should be the default assumption in the absence of any call to the setHints method.

See Also
setHints
SINGLEFRAMEback to summary
public static final int SINGLEFRAME

The image contain a single static image. The pixels will be defined in calls to the setPixels methods and then the imageComplete method will be called with the STATICIMAGEDONE flag after which no more image data will be delivered. An example of an image type which would not meet these criteria would be the output of a video feed, or the representation of a 3D rendering being manipulated by the user. The end of each frame in those types of images will be indicated by calling imageComplete with the SINGLEFRAMEDONE flag.

setHints, imageComplete
SINGLEFRAMEDONEback to summary
public static final int SINGLEFRAMEDONE

One frame of the image is complete but there are more frames to be delivered.

imageComplete
SINGLEPASSback to summary
public static final int SINGLEPASS

The pixels will be delivered in a single pass. Each pixel will appear in only one call to any of the setPixels methods. An example of an image format which does not meet this criterion is a progressive JPEG image which defines pixels in multiple passes, each more refined than the previous.

Method Detail

imageCompleteback to summary
public void imageComplete(int status)

The imageComplete method is called when the ImageProducer is finished delivering all of the pixels that the source image contains, or when a single frame of a multi-frame animation has been completed, or when an error in loading or producing the image has occurred. The ImageConsumer should remove itself from the list of consumers registered with the ImageProducer at this time, unless it is interested in successive frames.

Parameters
status:int

the status of image loading

See Also
ImageProducer#removeConsumer
setColorModelback to summary
public void setColorModel(ColorModel model)

Sets the ColorModel object used for the majority of the pixels reported using the setPixels method calls. Note that each set of pixels delivered using setPixels contains its own ColorModel object, so no assumption should be made that this model will be the only one used in delivering pixel values. A notable case where multiple ColorModel objects may be seen is a filtered image when for each set of pixels that it filters, the filter determines whether the pixels can be sent on untouched, using the original ColorModel, or whether the pixels should be modified (filtered) and passed on using a ColorModel more convenient for the filtering process.

Parameters
model:ColorModel

the specified ColorModel

ColorModel
setDimensionsback to summary
public void setDimensions(int width, int height)

The dimensions of the source image are reported using the setDimensions method call.

Parameters
width:int

the width of the source image

height:int

the height of the source image

setHintsback to summary
public void setHints(int hintflags)

Sets the hints that the ImageConsumer uses to process the pixels delivered by the ImageProducer. The ImageProducer can deliver the pixels in any order, but the ImageConsumer may be able to scale or convert the pixels to the destination ColorModel more efficiently or with higher quality if it knows some information about how the pixels will be delivered up front. The setHints method should be called before any calls to any of the setPixels methods with a bit mask of hints about the manner in which the pixels will be delivered. If the ImageProducer does not follow the guidelines for the indicated hint, the results are undefined.

Parameters
hintflags:int

a set of hints that the ImageConsumer uses to process the pixels

setPixelsback to summary
public void setPixels(int x, int y, int w, int h, ColorModel model, byte[] pixels, int off, int scansize)

Delivers the pixels of the image with one or more calls to this method. Each call specifies the location and size of the rectangle of source pixels that are contained in the array of pixels. The specified ColorModel object should be used to convert the pixels into their corresponding color and alpha components. Pixel (m,n) is stored in the pixels array at index (n * scansize + m + off). The pixels delivered using this method are all stored as bytes.

Parameters
x:int

the X coordinate of the upper-left corner of the area of pixels to be set

y:int

the Y coordinate of the upper-left corner of the area of pixels to be set

w:int

the width of the area of pixels

h:int

the height of the area of pixels

model:ColorModel

the specified ColorModel

pixels:byte[]

the array of pixels

off:int

the offset into the pixels array

scansize:int

the distance from one row of pixels to the next in the pixels array
