Class WaitingImageObserver

java.lang.Object
  org.jfree.util.WaitingImageObserver

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.awt.image.ImageObserver, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

public class WaitingImageObserver
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.awt.image.ImageObserver, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

This image observer blocks until the image is completely loaded. AWT defers the loading of images until they are painted on a graphic. While printing reports it is not very nice, not to know whether a image was completely loaded, so this observer forces the loading of the image until a final state (either ALLBITS, ABORT or ERROR) is reached.

Constructor Detail

WaitingImageObserver

public WaitingImageObserver(java.awt.Image image)

Creates a new ImageObserver for the given Image. The observer has to be started by an external thread.

Parameters:

image - the image to observe (null not permitted).

Method Detail

imageUpdate

public boolean imageUpdate(java.awt.Image img,
                           int infoflags,
                           int x,
                           int y,
                           int width,
                           int height)

Callback function used by AWT to inform that more data is available. The observer waits until either all data is loaded or AWT signals that the image cannot be loaded.

Specified by:

imageUpdate in interface java.awt.image.ImageObserver

Parameters:

img - the image being observed.

infoflags - the bitwise inclusive OR of the following flags: WIDTH, HEIGHT, PROPERTIES, SOMEBITS, FRAMEBITS, ALLBITS, ERROR, ABORT.

x - the x coordinate.

y - the y coordinate.

width - the width.

height - the height.

Returns:

false if the infoflags indicate that the image is completely loaded; true otherwise.

waitImageLoaded

public void waitImageLoaded()

The workerthread. Simply draws the image to a BufferedImage's Graphics-Object and waits for the AWT to load the image.

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

Deprecated. cloning may lock down the observer

Clones this WaitingImageObserver.

Overrides:

clone in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a clone.

Throws:

java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - this should never happen.

isLoadingComplete

public boolean isLoadingComplete()

Returns true if loading is complete, and false otherwise.

Returns:

A boolean.

isError

public boolean isError()

Returns true if there is an error condition, and false otherwise.

Returns:

A boolean.
