Interface ImageEncoder

All Known Implementing Classes:

JpegImageEncoder, PngEncoder

public interface ImageEncoder

A image encoder. The encoder's encodeImage method must be synchronized in some way, so that multiple calls from multiple threads do not interact with each other.

Method Summary

void	encodeImage(java.awt.Image image, java.io.OutputStream outputStream, float quality, boolean encodeAlpha) Encodes the given image using the given encoder-specific quality and alpha-channel settings and writes the encoded image-data to the given stream.
java.lang.String	getMimeType() Returns the mime-type of the encoded data.

Method Detail

encodeImage

void encodeImage(java.awt.Image image,
                 java.io.OutputStream outputStream,
                 float quality,
                 boolean encodeAlpha)
                 throws java.io.IOException,
                        UnsupportedEncoderException

Encodes the given image using the given encoder-specific quality and alpha-channel settings and writes the encoded image-data to the given stream.

Parameters:

image - the image to be encoded.

outputStream - the output stream, where to write the image data to.

quality - the quality of the encoding.

encodeAlpha - a flag controlling whether the alpha-channel should be encoded as well.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if there was an IO error while generating or writing the image data.

UnsupportedEncoderException - if the encoder is not supported.

getMimeType

java.lang.String getMimeType()

Returns the mime-type of the encoded data.

Returns:

the mime-type.
