Implements abstract com.sun.scenario.effect.Effect.filter.

Doc from com.sun.scenario.effect.Effect.filter.

Applies this filter effect to the series of images represented by the input Effects and/or the given defaultInput viewed under the given transform. The filter does not need to create pixel data for any pixels that fall outside of the destination device-space (pixel) bounds specified by the outputClip Rectangle.

The filter might be able to use the renderHelper object to render the results directly on its own if the object is not null and implements an interface, such as ImageHelper, that the filter recognizes. If the effect renders itself then it will return a null for the ImageData result.

Note that the ImageData object returned by this method must be validated prior to use with ImageData#validate(com.sun.scenario.effect.FilterContext) method.

      boolean valid;

      do {
          ImageData res = filter(fctx, transform, clip, renderer, defaultInput);
          if (res == null) {
              break;
          }
          if (valid = res.validate(fctx)) {
              // Render res.getImage() to the appropriate destination
              // or use it as an input to another chain of effects.
          }
          res.unref();
      } while (!valid);

@Override

Implements abstract com.sun.scenario.effect.Effect.getAccelType.

Doc from com.sun.scenario.effect.Effect.getAccelType.

Returns one of the AccelType values, indicating whether this Effect is accelerated in hardware for the given FilterContext.

@Override

Implements abstract com.sun.scenario.effect.Effect.getBounds.

Doc from com.sun.scenario.effect.Effect.getBounds.

Returns the bounding box that will be affected by this filter operation when viewed under the specified transform, given its list of input Effects and the specified defaultInput effect. Note that the returned bounds can be smaller or larger than one or more of the inputs.

Annotations

@Override

Overrides com.sun.scenario.effect.Effect.getDirtyRegions.

Doc from com.sun.scenario.effect.Effect.getDirtyRegions.

Returns the dirty region container containing dirty regions affected by this filter operation.

Annotations

@Override

Implements abstract com.sun.scenario.effect.Effect.reducesOpaquePixels.

Doc from com.sun.scenario.effect.Effect.reducesOpaquePixels.

Whether an opacity for any pixel is different (lower) than the corresponding pixel in the default input. It is always safe to return true from this method, though the consequences may be that the caller chooses to not utilize a planned optimization.
