public interface ImageProducer
The interface for objects which can produce the image data for Images. Each image contains an ImageProducer which is used to reconstruct the image whenever it is needed, for example, when a new size of the Image is scaled, or when the width or height of the Image is being requested.- See Also:
ImageConsumer

Method Summary
Methods Modifier and Type Method and Description void
addConsumer(ImageConsumer ic)
Registers anImageConsumer
with theImageProducer
for access to the image data during a later reconstruction of theImage
.boolean
isConsumer(ImageConsumer ic)
Determines if a specifiedImageConsumer
object is currently registered with thisImageProducer
as one of its consumers.void
removeConsumer(ImageConsumer ic)
Removes the specifiedImageConsumer
object from the list of consumers currently registered to receive image data.void
requestTopDownLeftRightResend(ImageConsumer ic)
Requests, on behalf of theImageConsumer
, that theImageProducer
attempt to resend the image data one more time in TOPDOWNLEFTRIGHT order so that higher quality conversion algorithms which depend on receiving pixels in order can be used to produce a better output version of the image.void
startProduction(ImageConsumer ic)
Registers the specifiedImageConsumer
object as a consumer and starts an immediate reconstruction of the image data which will then be delivered to this consumer and any other consumer which might have already been registered with the producer.

Method Detail
-
addConsumer
void addConsumer(ImageConsumer ic)
Registers anImageConsumer
with theImageProducer
for access to the image data during a later reconstruction of theImage
. TheImageProducer
may, at its discretion, start delivering the image data to the consumer using theImageConsumer
interface immediately, or when the next available image reconstruction is triggered by a call to thestartProduction
method.- Parameters:
ic
- the specifiedImageConsumer
- See Also:
startProduction(java.awt.image.ImageConsumer)
-
isConsumer
boolean isConsumer(ImageConsumer ic)
Determines if a specifiedImageConsumer
object is currently registered with thisImageProducer
as one of its consumers.- Parameters:
ic
- the specifiedImageConsumer
- Returns:
true
if the specifiedImageConsumer
is registered with thisImageProducer
;false
otherwise.
-
removeConsumer
void removeConsumer(ImageConsumer ic)
Removes the specifiedImageConsumer
object from the list of consumers currently registered to receive image data. It is not considered an error to remove a consumer that is not currently registered. TheImageProducer
should stop sending data to this consumer as soon as is feasible.- Parameters:
ic
- the specifiedImageConsumer
-
startProduction
void startProduction(ImageConsumer ic)
Registers the specifiedImageConsumer
object as a consumer and starts an immediate reconstruction of the image data which will then be delivered to this consumer and any other consumer which might have already been registered with the producer. This method differs from the addConsumer method in that a reproduction of the image data should be triggered as soon as possible.- Parameters:
ic
- the specifiedImageConsumer
- See Also:
addConsumer(java.awt.image.ImageConsumer)
-
requestTopDownLeftRightResend
void requestTopDownLeftRightResend(ImageConsumer ic)
Requests, on behalf of theImageConsumer
, that theImageProducer
attempt to resend the image data one more time in TOPDOWNLEFTRIGHT order so that higher quality conversion algorithms which depend on receiving pixels in order can be used to produce a better output version of the image. TheImageProducer
is free to ignore this call if it cannot resend the data in that order. If the data can be resent, theImageProducer
should respond by executing the following minimum set ofImageConsumer
method calls:ic.setHints(TOPDOWNLEFTRIGHT | < otherhints >); ic.setPixels(...); // As many times as needed ic.imageComplete();
- Parameters:
ic
- the specifiedImageConsumer
- See Also:
ImageConsumer.setHints(int)
