Represents an image with 8-bit RGB color components packed into integer pixels. The image has a DirectColorModel without alpha. When data with non-opaque alpha is stored in an image of this type, the color data must be adjusted to a non-premultiplied form and the alpha discarded, as described in the AlphaComposite documentation.

Represents an opaque byte-packed 1, 2, or 4 bit image. The image has an IndexColorModel without alpha. When this type is used as the imageType argument to the BufferedImage constructor that takes an imageType argument but no ColorModel argument, a 1-bit image is created with an IndexColorModel with two colors in the default sRGB ColorSpace: {0, 0, 0} and {255, 255, 255}.

Images with 2 or 4 bits per pixel may be constructed via the BufferedImage constructor that takes a ColorModel argument by supplying a ColorModel with an appropriate map size.

Images with 8 bits per pixel should use the image types TYPE_BYTE_INDEXED or TYPE_BYTE_GRAY depending on their ColorModel.

When color data is stored in an image of this type, the closest color in the colormap is determined by the IndexColorModel and the resulting index is stored. Approximation and loss of alpha or color components can result, depending on the colors in the IndexColorModel colormap.

Represents an indexed byte image. When this type is used as the imageType argument to the BufferedImage constructor that takes an imageType argument but no ColorModel argument, an IndexColorModel is created with a 256-color 6/6/6 color cube palette with the rest of the colors from 216-255 populated by grayscale values in the default sRGB ColorSpace.

When color data is stored in an image of this type, the closest color in the colormap is determined by the IndexColorModel and the resulting index is stored. Approximation and loss of alpha or color components can result, depending on the colors in the IndexColorModel colormap.

Constructs a BufferedImage of one of the predefined image types: TYPE_BYTE_BINARY or TYPE_BYTE_INDEXED.

If the image type is TYPE_BYTE_BINARY, the number of entries in the color model is used to determine whether the image should have 1, 2, or 4 bits per pixel. If the color model has 1 or 2 entries, the image will have 1 bit per pixel. If it has 3 or 4 entries, the image with have 2 bits per pixel. If it has between 5 and 16 entries, the image will have 4 bits per pixel. Otherwise, an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.

Constructs a new BufferedImage with a specified ColorModel and Raster. If the number and types of bands in the SampleModel of the Raster do not match the number and types required by the ColorModel to represent its color and alpha components, a RasterFormatException is thrown. This method can multiply or divide the color Raster data by alpha to match the alphaPremultiplied state in the ColorModel. Properties for this BufferedImage can be established by passing in a Hashtable of String/Object pairs.

Returns the ColorModel.

Returns the WritableRaster.

Returns a WritableRaster representing the alpha channel for BufferedImage objects with ColorModel objects that support a separate spatial alpha channel, such as ComponentColorModel and DirectColorModel. Returns null if there is no alpha channel associated with the ColorModel in this image. This method assumes that for all ColorModel objects other than IndexColorModel, if the ColorModel supports alpha, there is a separate alpha channel which is stored as the last band of image data. If the image uses an IndexColorModel that has alpha in the lookup table, this method returns null since there is no spatially discrete alpha channel. This method creates a new WritableRaster, but shares the data array.

Returns an integer pixel in the default RGB color model (TYPE_INT_ARGB) and default sRGB colorspace. Color conversion takes place if this default model does not match the image ColorModel. There are only 8-bits of precision for each color component in the returned data when using this method.

An ArrayOutOfBoundsException may be thrown if the coordinates are not in bounds. However, explicit bounds checking is not guaranteed.

Returns an array of integer pixels in the default RGB color model (TYPE_INT_ARGB) and default sRGB color space, from a portion of the image data. Color conversion takes place if the default model does not match the image ColorModel. There are only 8-bits of precision for each color component in the returned data when using this method. With a specified coordinate (x, y) in the image, the ARGB pixel can be accessed in this way:

    pixel   = rgbArray[offset + (y-startY)*scansize + (x-startX)]; 

An ArrayOutOfBoundsException may be thrown if the region is not in bounds. However, explicit bounds checking is not guaranteed.

Sets a pixel in this BufferedImage to the specified RGB value. The pixel is assumed to be in the default RGB color model, TYPE_INT_ARGB, and default sRGB color space. For images with an IndexColorModel, the index with the nearest color is chosen.

An ArrayOutOfBoundsException may be thrown if the coordinates are not in bounds. However, explicit bounds checking is not guaranteed.

Sets an array of integer pixels in the default RGB color model (TYPE_INT_ARGB) and default sRGB color space, into a portion of the image data. Color conversion takes place if the default model does not match the image ColorModel. There are only 8-bits of precision for each color component in the returned data when using this method. With a specified coordinate (x, y) in the this image, the ARGB pixel can be accessed in this way:

    pixel   = rgbArray[offset + (y-startY)*scansize + (x-startX)];
 

WARNING: No dithering takes place.

Returns the width of the BufferedImage.

Returns the height of the BufferedImage.

Returns the object that produces the pixels for the image.

Returns a property of the image by name. Individual property names are defined by the various image formats. If a property is not defined for a particular image, this method returns the UndefinedProperty field.

The property name "comment" should be used to store an optional comment that can be presented to the user as a description of the image, its source, or its author.

Returns a property of the image by name.

This method returns a Graphics2D, but is here for backwards compatibility. createGraphics is more convenient, since it is declared to return a Graphics2D.

Returns whether or not the alpha has been premultiplied. It returns false if there is no alpha.

Returns a String representation of this BufferedImage object and its values.

Returns a Vector of RenderedImage objects that are the immediate sources, not the sources of these immediate sources, of image data for this BufferedImage.

Computes and returns an arbitrary region of the BufferedImage. The Raster returned is a copy of the image data and is not updated if the image is changed.

Computes an arbitrary rectangular region of the BufferedImage and copies it into a specified WritableRaster. The region to be computed is determined from the bounds of the specified WritableRaster. The specified WritableRaster must have a SampleModel that is compatible with this image. If outRaster is null, an appropriate WritableRaster is created.

Sets a rectangular region of the image to the contents of the specified Raster r , which is assumed to be in the same coordinate space as the BufferedImage. The operation is clipped to the bounds of the BufferedImage.

Adds a tile observer. If the observer is already present, it receives multiple notifications.

Removes a tile observer. If the observer was not registered, nothing happens. If the observer was registered for multiple notifications, it is now registered for one fewer notification.

Returns whether or not a tile is currently checked out for writing.

Returns an array of Point objects indicating which tiles are checked out for writing. Returns null if none are checked out.

Returns whether or not any tile is checked out for writing. Semantically equivalent to
