All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractImageConverter, ImageConverterBitmap2G2D, ImageConverterBuffered2Rendered, ImageConverterG2D2Bitmap, ImageConverterRendered2PNG
public interface ImageConverter
Defines an image converter that can convert one image representation into another.

  • Field Details

    • NO_CONVERSION_PENALTY

      static final int NO_CONVERSION_PENALTY
      Used if the conversion penalty is negligible (for example a simple cast).
      See Also:

    • MINIMAL_CONVERSION_PENALTY

      static final int MINIMAL_CONVERSION_PENALTY
      Used if the conversion penalty is minimal
      See Also:

    • MEDIUM_CONVERSION_PENALTY

      static final int MEDIUM_CONVERSION_PENALTY
      Default/Medium conversion penalty (if there's some effort to convert the image format)

    • convert

      Image convert(Image src, Map<String,Object> hints) throws ImageException, IOException
      Converts an image into a different representation.

      Consumers can get the effective MIME type (if any) from the associated ImageFlavor.

      Parameters:
      src - the source image
      hints - the conversion hints
      Returns:
      the converted image
      Throws:
      ImageException - if an error occurs while converting the image
      IOException - if an I/O error occurs while converting the image

    • getTargetFlavor

      ImageFlavor getTargetFlavor()
      Returns the flavor that this converter converts images into.
      Returns:
      the target flavor

    • getSourceFlavor

      ImageFlavor getSourceFlavor()
      Returns the flavor that this converter expects.
      Returns:
      the source flavor

    • getConversionPenalty

      int getConversionPenalty()
      Returns the conversion penalty for the conversion that this implementation supports.
      Returns:
      the conversion penalty (must be a non-negative integer)
