Direct Known Subclasses:
JPEGImageReadParam

A class describing how a stream is to be decoded. Instances of this class or its subclasses are used to supply prescriptive "how-to" information to instances of ImageReader.

An image encoded as part of a file or stream may be thought of extending out in multiple dimensions: the spatial dimensions of width and height, a number of bands, and a number of progressive decoding passes. This class allows a contiguous (hyper)rectangular subarea of the image in all of these dimensions to be selected for decoding. Additionally, the spatial dimensions may be subsampled discontinuously. Finally, color and format conversions may be specified by controlling the ColorModel and SampleModel of the destination image, either by providing a BufferedImage or by using an ImageTypeSpecifier.

An ImageReadParam object is used to specify how an image, or a set of images, will be converted on input from a stream in the context of the Java Image I/O framework. A plug-in for a specific image format will return instances of ImageReadParam from the getDefaultReadParam method of its ImageReader implementation.

The state maintained by an instance of ImageReadParam is independent of any particular image being decoded. When actual decoding takes place, the values set in the read param are combined with the actual properties of the image being decoded from the stream and the destination BufferedImage that will receive the decoded pixel data. For example, the source region set using setSourceRegion will first be intersected with the actual valid source area. The result will be translated by the value returned by getDestinationOffset, and the resulting rectangle intersected with the actual valid destination area to yield the destination area that will be written.

The parameters specified by an ImageReadParam are applied to an image as follows. First, if a rendering size has been set by setSourceRenderSize, the entire decoded image is rendered at the size given by getSourceRenderSize. Otherwise, the image has its natural size given by ImageReader.getWidth and ImageReader.getHeight.

Next, the image is clipped against the source region specified by getSourceXOffset, getSourceYOffset, getSourceWidth, and getSourceHeight.

The resulting region is then subsampled according to the factors given in IIOParam.setSourceSubsampling . The first pixel, the number of pixels per row, and the number of rows all depend on the subsampling settings. Call the minimum X and Y coordinates of the resulting rectangle (minX, minY), its width w and its height h.

This rectangle is offset by (getDestinationOffset().x, getDestinationOffset().y) and clipped against the destination bounds. If no destination image has been set, the destination is defined to have a width of getDestinationOffset().x + w, and a height of getDestinationOffset().y + h so that all pixels of the source region may be written to the destination.

Pixels that land, after subsampling, within the destination image, and that are written in one of the progressive passes specified by getSourceMinProgressivePass and getSourceNumProgressivePasses are passed along to the next step.

Finally, the source samples of each pixel are mapped into destination bands according to the algorithm described in the comment for setDestinationBands.

Plug-in writers may extend the functionality of ImageReadParam by providing a subclass that implements additional, plug-in specific interfaces. It is up to the plug-in to document what interfaces are available and how they are to be used. Readers will silently ignore any extended features of an ImageReadParam subclass of which they are not aware. Also, they may ignore any optional features that they normally disable when creating their own ImageReadParam instances via getDefaultReadParam.

Note that unless a query method exists for a capability, it must be supported by all ImageReader implementations (e.g. source render size is optional, but subsampling must be supported).

Field Summary
protected boolean	canSetSourceRenderSize	`true` if this `ImageReadParam` allows the source rendering dimensions to be set. By default, the value is `false`. Subclasses must set this value manually. `ImageReader`s that do not support setting of the source render size should set this value to `false`.
protected Dimension	sourceRenderSize	The desired rendering width and height of the source, if `canSetSourceRenderSize` is `true`, or `null`. `ImageReader`s that do not support setting of the source render size may ignore this value.
protected BufferedImage	destination	The current destination `BufferedImage`, or `null` if none has been set. By default, the value is `null`.
protected int[]	destinationBands	The set of destination bands to be used, as an array of `int`s. By default, the value is `null`, indicating all destination bands should be written in order.
protected int	minProgressivePass	The minimum index of a progressive pass to read from the source. By default, the value is set to 0, which indicates that passes starting with the first available pass should be decoded. Subclasses should ensure that this value is non-negative.
protected int	numProgressivePasses	The maximum number of progressive passes to read from the source. By default, the value is set to `Integer.MAX_VALUE`, which indicates that passes up to and including the last available pass should be decoded. Subclasses should ensure that this value is positive. Additionally, if the value is not `Integer.MAX_VALUE`, then `minProgressivePass + numProgressivePasses - 1` should not exceed `Integer.MAX_VALUE`.

Method from javax.imageio.ImageReadParam Detail:
public boolean canSetSourceRenderSize() { return canSetSourceRenderSize; } Returns `true` if this reader allows the source image to be rendered at an arbitrary size as part of the decoding process, by means of the `setSourceRenderSize` method. If this method returns `false`, calls to `setSourceRenderSize` will throw an `UnsupportedOperationException`.
public BufferedImage getDestination() { return destination; } Returns the `BufferedImage` currently set by the `setDestination` method, or `null` if none is set.
public int[] getDestinationBands() { if (destinationBands == null) { return null; } else { return (int[])(destinationBands.clone()); } } Returns the set of band indices where data will be placed. If no value has been set, `null` is returned to indicate that all destination bands will be used.
public int getSourceMaxProgressivePass() { if (numProgressivePasses == Integer.MAX_VALUE) { return Integer.MAX_VALUE; } else { return minProgressivePass + numProgressivePasses - 1; } } If `getSourceNumProgressivePasses` is equal to `Integer.MAX_VALUE`, returns `Integer.MAX_VALUE`. Otherwise, returns `getSourceMinProgressivePass() + getSourceNumProgressivePasses() - 1`.
public int getSourceMinProgressivePass() { return minProgressivePass; } Returns the index of the first progressive pass that will be decoded. If no value has been set, 0 will be returned (which is the correct value).
public int getSourceNumProgressivePasses() { return numProgressivePasses; } Returns the number of the progressive passes that will be decoded. If no value has been set, `Integer.MAX_VALUE` will be returned (which is the correct value).
public Dimension getSourceRenderSize() { return (sourceRenderSize == null) ? null : (Dimension)sourceRenderSize.clone(); } Returns the width and height of the source image as it will be rendered during decoding, if they have been set via the `setSourceRenderSize` method. A `null`value indicates that no setting has been made.
public void setDestination(BufferedImage destination) { this.destination = destination; } Supplies a `BufferedImage` to be used as the destination for decoded pixel data. The currently set image will be written to by the `read`, `readAll`, and `readRaster` methods, and a reference to it will be returned by those methods. Pixel data from the aforementioned methods will be written starting at the offset specified by `getDestinationOffset`. If `destination` is `null`, a newly-created `BufferedImage` will be returned by those methods. At the time of reading, the image is checked to verify that its `ColorModel` and `SampleModel` correspond to one of the `ImageTypeSpecifier`s returned from the `ImageReader`'s `getImageTypes` method. If it does not, the reader will throw an `IIOException`.
public void setDestinationBands(int[] destinationBands) { if (destinationBands == null) { this.destinationBands = null; } else { int numBands = destinationBands.length; for (int i = 0; i < numBands; i++) { int band = destinationBands[i]; if (band < 0) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("Band value < 0!"); } for (int j = i + 1; j < numBands; j++) { if (band == destinationBands[j]) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("Duplicate band value!"); } } } this.destinationBands = (int[])destinationBands.clone(); } } Sets the indices of the destination bands where data will be placed. Duplicate indices are not allowed. A `null` value indicates that all destination bands will be used. Choosing a destination band subset will not affect the number of bands in the output image of a read if no destination image is specified; the created destination image will still have the same number of bands as if this method had never been called. If a different number of bands in the destination image is desired, an image must be supplied using the `ImageReadParam.setDestination` method. At the time of reading or writing, an `IllegalArgumentException` will be thrown by the reader or writer if a value larger than the largest destination band index has been specified, or if the number of source bands and destination bands to be used differ. The `ImageReader.checkReadParamBandSettings` method may be used to automate this test.
public void setDestinationType(ImageTypeSpecifier destinationType) { super.setDestinationType(destinationType); setDestination(null); }
public void setSourceProgressivePasses(int minPass, int numPasses) { if (minPass < 0) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("minPass < 0!"); } if (numPasses < = 0) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("numPasses < = 0!"); } if ((numPasses != Integer.MAX_VALUE) && (((minPass + numPasses - 1) & 0x80000000) != 0)) { throw new IllegalArgumentException ("minPass + numPasses - 1 > INTEGER.MAX_VALUE!"); } this.minProgressivePass = minPass; this.numProgressivePasses = numPasses; } Sets the range of progressive passes that will be decoded. Passes outside of this range will be ignored. A progressive pass is a re-encoding of the entire image, generally at progressively higher effective resolutions, but requiring greater transmission bandwidth. The most common use of progressive encoding is found in the JPEG format, where successive passes include more detailed representations of the high-frequency image content. The actual number of passes to be decoded is determined during decoding, based on the number of actual passes available in the stream. Thus if `minPass + numPasses - 1` is larger than the index of the last available passes, decoding will end with that pass. A value of `numPasses` of `Integer.MAX_VALUE` indicates that all passes from `minPass` forward should be read. Otherwise, the index of the last pass (i.e., `minPass + numPasses - 1`) must not exceed `Integer.MAX_VALUE`. There is no `unsetSourceProgressivePasses` method; the same effect may be obtained by calling `setSourceProgressivePasses(0, Integer.MAX_VALUE)`.
public void setSourceRenderSize(Dimension size) throws UnsupportedOperationException { if (!canSetSourceRenderSize()) { throw new UnsupportedOperationException ("Can't set source render size!"); } if (size == null) { this.sourceRenderSize = null; } else { if (size.width < = 0 \|\| size.height < = 0) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("width or height < = 0!"); } this.sourceRenderSize = (Dimension)size.clone(); } } If the image is able to be rendered at an arbitrary size, sets the source width and height to the supplied values. Note that the values returned from the `getWidth` and `getHeight` methods on `ImageReader` are not affected by this method; they will continue to return the default size for the image. Similarly, if the image is also tiled the tile width and height are given in terms of the default size. Typically, the width and height should be chosen such that the ratio of width to height closely approximates the aspect ratio of the image, as returned from `ImageReader.getAspectRatio`. If this plug-in does not allow the rendering size to be set, an `UnsupportedOperationException` will be thrown. To remove the render size setting, pass in a value of `null` for `size`.

Pixel data from the aforementioned methods will be written starting at the offset specified by getDestinationOffset.

If destination is null, a newly-created BufferedImage will be returned by those methods.

At the time of reading, the image is checked to verify that its ColorModel and SampleModel correspond to one of the ImageTypeSpecifiers returned from the ImageReader's getImageTypes method. If it does not, the reader will throw an IIOException.

            }
            this.destinationBands = (int[])destinationBands.clone();
        }
}

A null value indicates that all destination bands will be used.

Choosing a destination band subset will not affect the number of bands in the output image of a read if no destination image is specified; the created destination image will still have the same number of bands as if this method had never been called. If a different number of bands in the destination image is desired, an image must be supplied using the ImageReadParam.setDestination method.

At the time of reading or writing, an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown by the reader or writer if a value larger than the largest destination band index has been specified, or if the number of source bands and destination bands to be used differ. The ImageReader.checkReadParamBandSettings method may be used to automate this test.

Typically, the width and height should be chosen such that the ratio of width to height closely approximates the aspect ratio of the image, as returned from ImageReader.getAspectRatio.

If this plug-in does not allow the rendering size to be set, an UnsupportedOperationException will be thrown.

To remove the render size setting, pass in a value of null for size.
