All Implemented Interfaces:

OperationDescriptor, RegistryElementDescriptor, Serializable

public class EncodeDescriptor

extends OperationDescriptorImpl

An OperationDescriptor describing the "Encode" operation. The "Encode" operation writes an image to a given OutputStream in a specified format using the supplied encoding parameters.

The third parameter contains an instance of ImageEncodeParam to be used during the decoding. It may be set to null in order to perform default encoding, or equivalently may be omitted. If non-null, it must be of the correct class type for the selected format.

The classes in the com.sun.media.jai.codec package are not a committed part of the JAI API. Future releases of JAI will make use of new classes in their place. This class will change accordingly.

Method Summary

static RenderedOp	create(RenderedImage source0, OutputStream stream, String format, ImageEncodeParam param, RenderingHints hints) Stores an image to an OutputStream.
boolean	isImmediate() Returns true indicating that the operation should be rendered immediately during a call to JAI.create().
boolean	validateArguments(String modeName, ParameterBlock args, StringBuffer msg) Validates the input source and parameters.

Method Detail

validateArguments

public boolean validateArguments(String modeName,
                                 ParameterBlock args,
                                 StringBuffer msg)

Validates the input source and parameters.

In addition to the standard checks performed by the superclass method, this method checks that the format name is recognized and is capable of encoding the source image using the encoding parameter "param", if non-null.

Specified by:

validateArguments in interface OperationDescriptor

Overrides:

validateArguments in class OperationDescriptorImpl

Parameters:

modeName - the operation mode name

args - Input arguments, including source(s) and/or parameter(s).

msg - A string that may contain error messages.

isImmediate

public boolean isImmediate()

Returns true indicating that the operation should be rendered immediately during a call to JAI.create().

Specified by:

isImmediate in interface OperationDescriptor

create

public static RenderedOp create(RenderedImage source0,
                                OutputStream stream,
                                String format,
                                ImageEncodeParam param,
                                RenderingHints hints)

Stores an image to an OutputStream.

Creates a ParameterBlockJAI from all supplied arguments except hints and invokes JAI.create(String,ParameterBlock,RenderingHints).

Parameters:

source0 - RenderedImage source 0.

stream - The OutputStream to write to.

format - The format of the created file. May be null.

param - The encoding parameters. May be null.

hints - The RenderingHints to use. May be null.

Returns:

The RenderedOp destination.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if source0 is null.

IllegalArgumentException - if stream is null.
