Module java.desktop

Package java.awt.image

Provides classes for creating and modifying images. Images are processed using a streaming framework that involves an image producer, optional image filters, and an image consumer. This framework makes it possible to progressively render an image while it is being fetched and generated. Moreover, the framework allows an application to discard the storage used by an image and to regenerate it at any time. This package provides a number of image producers, consumers, and filters that you can configure for your image processing needs.

  • Interface Summary 
    Interface Description
    BufferedImageOp
    This interface describes single-input/single-output operations performed on BufferedImage objects.
    ImageConsumer

    ImageProducer
    The interface for objects which can produce the image data for Images.
    MultiResolutionImage
    This interface is designed to be an optional additional API supported by some implementations of Image to allow them to provide alternate images for various rendering resolutions.

    RenderedImage
    RenderedImage is a common interface for objects which contain or can produce image data in the form of Rasters.
    TileObserver
    An interface for objects that wish to be informed when tiles of a WritableRenderedImage become modifiable by some writer via a call to getWritableTile, and when they become unmodifiable via the last call to releaseWritableTile.
    WritableRenderedImage
    WritableRenderedImage is a common interface for objects which contain or can produce image data in the form of Rasters and which can be modified and/or written over.
