JavaFX 27 · javafx.scene.image · APIdia, the JavaDoc alternative

Provides the set of classes for loading and displaying images.

The javafx.scene.image.Image class is used to load images (synchronously or asynchronously). Image can be resized as it is loaded and the resizing can be performed with specified filtering quality and with an option of preserving image's original aspect ratio.
The javafx.scene.image.ImageView is a Node used for displaying images loaded with Image class. It allows displaying a dynamically scaled and/or cropped view of the source image. The scaling can be performed with specified filtering quality and with an option of preserving image's original aspect ratio.

Interface Summary

Modifier and Type	Interface and Description
public interface	PixelReader This interface defines methods for retrieving the pixel data from an `Image` or other surface containing pixels.
public interface	PixelWriter This interface defines methods for writing the pixel data of a `WritableImage` or other surface containing writable pixels.

Modifier and Type	Class and Description
public class	Image The `Image` class represents graphical images and is used for loading images from a specified URL.
public class	ImageView The `ImageView` is a `Node` used for painting images loaded with `Image` class.
public class	PixelBuffer< the type of `Buffer` that stores the pixel data. Only `ByteBuffer` and `IntBuffer` are supported. T extends Buffer> The `PixelBuffer` class represents pixel data that is constructed from a `java.nio.Buffer` supplied by the application.
public abstract class	PixelFormat< the type of buffer that stores the pixel data. Only `ByteBuffer` and `IntBuffer` are used. T extends Buffer> A `PixelFormat` object defines the layout of data for a pixel of a given format.
public class	WritableImage The `WritableImage` class represents a custom graphical image that is constructed from pixels supplied by the application, and possibly from `PixelReader` objects from any number of sources, including images read from a file or URL.
public abstract class	WritablePixelFormat< the type of the buffer T extends Buffer> A `PixelFormat` object representing a pixel format that can store full colors and so can be used as a destination format to write pixel data from an arbitrary image.
