Makes a clone (deep copy) calling cloneDataFromRead(PngChunk)

Annotations

@SuppressWarnings:unchecked

Makes a copy of the chunk.

This is used when copying chunks from a reader to a writer

It should normally be a deep copy, and after the cloning this.equals(other) should return true

Creates the physical chunk. This is used when writing (serialization). Each particular chunk class implements its own logic.

Returns:ChunkRaw

A newly allocated and filled raw chunk

This factory creates the corresponding chunk and parses the raw chunk. This is used when reading.

Creates one new blank chunk of the corresponding type, according to factoryMap (PngChunkUNKNOWN if not known)

Registers a chunk-id (4 letters) to be associated with a PngChunk class

This method should be called by user code that wants to add some chunks (not implmemented in this library) to the factory, so that the PngReader knows about it.

In which "chunkGroup" (see ChunksListfor definition) this chunks instance was read or written.

-1 if not read or written (eg, queued)

see ChunkOrderingConstraint

True if the chunk-id type is known.

A chunk is known if we recognize its class, according with factoryMap

This is not necessarily the same as being "STANDARD", or being implemented in this library

Unknown chunks will be parsed as instances of PngChunkUNKNOWN

Parses raw chunk and fill inside data. This is used when reading (deserialization). Each particular chunk class implements its own logic.
