Direct Known Subclasses:

ImgWriterPGM, ImgWriterPGX, ImgWriterPPM

public abstract class ImgWriter

extends java.lang.Object

This is the generic interface to be implemented by all image file (or other resource) writers for different formats.

Each object inheriting from this class should have a source ImgData object associated with it. The image data to write to the file is obtained from the associated ImgData object. In general this object would be specified at construction time.

Depending on the actual type of file that is written a call to any write() or writeAll() method will write data from one component, several components or all components. For example, a PGM writer will write data from only one component (defined in the constructor) while a PPM writer will write 3 components (normally R,G,B).

Field Summary

static int	DEF_STRIP_HEIGHT The defaukt height used when writing strip by strip in the 'write()' method.
protected int	h The height of the image
protected BlkImgDataSrc	src The source ImagaData object, from where to get the image data
protected int	w The width of the image

Constructor Summary

ImgWriter()

Method Summary

abstract void	close() Closes the underlying file or netwrok connection to where the data is written.
void	finalize() Flushes the buffered data before the object is garbage collected.
abstract void	flush() Writes all buffered data to the file or resource.
abstract void	write() Writes the source's current tile to the output.
abstract void	write(int ulx, int uly, int w, int h) Writes the data of the specified area to the file, coordinates are relative to the current tile of the source.
void	writeAll() Writes the entire image or only specified tiles to the output.

Method Detail

close

public abstract void close()
                    throws java.io.IOException

Closes the underlying file or netwrok connection to where the data is written. The implementing class must write all buffered data before closing the file or resource. Any call to other methods of the class become illegal after a call to this one.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If an I/O error occurs.

flush

public abstract void flush()
                    throws java.io.IOException

Writes all buffered data to the file or resource. If the implementing class does onot use buffering nothing should be done.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If an I/O error occurs.

finalize

public void finalize()
              throws java.io.IOException

Flushes the buffered data before the object is garbage collected. If an exception is thrown the object finalization is halted, but is otherwise ignored.

Overrides:

finalize in class java.lang.Object

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If an I/O error occurs. It halts the finalization of the object, but is otherwise ignored.

See Also:

Object.finalize()

write

public abstract void write()
                    throws java.io.IOException

Writes the source's current tile to the output. The requests of data issued by the implementing class to the source ImgData object should be done by blocks or strips, in order to reduce memory usage.

The implementing class should only write data that is not "progressive" (in other words that it is final), see DataBlk for details.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If an I/O error occurs.

See Also:

DataBlk

writeAll

public void writeAll()
              throws java.io.IOException

Writes the entire image or only specified tiles to the output. The implementation in this class calls the write() method for each tile starting with the upper-left one and proceding in standard scanline order. It changes the current tile of the source data.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If an I/O error occurs.

DataBlk

write

public abstract void write(int ulx,
                           int uly,
                           int w,
                           int h)
                    throws java.io.IOException

Writes the data of the specified area to the file, coordinates are relative to the current tile of the source.

The implementing class should only write data that is not "progressive" (in other words that is final), see DataBlk for details.

Parameters:

ulx - The horizontal coordinate of the upper-left corner of the area to write, relative to the current tile.

uly - The vertical coordinate of the upper-left corner of the area to write, relative to the current tile.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If an I/O error occurs.
