Starts production of the filtered image. If the specified
ImageConsumer
isn't already a consumer of the filtered image, an instance of the original
ImageFilter
is created (using the filter's
getFilterInstance
method) to manipulate the image data for the
ImageConsumer
. The filter instance for the
ImageConsumer
is then passed to the
startProduction
method of the original
ImageProducer
.
This method is public as a side effect of this class implementing the ImageProducer
interface. It should not be called from user code, and its behavior if called from user code is unspecified.
