public abstract class ImageWriter extends Object implements ImageTranscoder
An abstract superclass for encoding and writing images. This class must be subclassed by classes that write out images in the context of the Java Image I/O framework.
ImageWriter objects are normally instantiated by the service provider class for the specific format. Service provider classes are registered with the IIORegistry, which uses them for format recognition and presentation of available format readers and writers.
ImageReader, ImageWriteParam, IIORegistry, ImageWriterSpi
protected ImageWriterSpi originatingProvider
The ImageWriterSpi that instantiated this object, or null if its identity is not known or none exists. By default it is initialized to null.
protected Object output
The ImageOutputStream or other Object set by setOutput and retrieved by getOutput. By default it is initialized to null.
protected Locale[] availableLocales
An array of Locales that may be used to localize warning messages and compression setting values, or null if localization is not supported. By default it is initialized to null.
protected Locale locale
The current Locale to be used for localization, or null if none has been set. By default it is initialized to null.
protected List<IIOWriteWarningListener> warningListeners
A List of currently registered IIOWriteWarningListeners, initialized by default to null, which is synonymous with an empty List.
protected List<Locale> warningLocales
A List of Locales, one for each element of warningListeners, initialized by default null, which is synonymous with an empty List.
protected List<IIOWriteProgressListener> progressListeners
A List of currently registered IIOWriteProgressListeners, initialized by default null, which is synonymous with an empty List.
protected ImageWriter(ImageWriterSpi originatingProvider)
Constructs an ImageWriter and sets its originatingProvider instance variable to the supplied value.
Subclasses that make use of extensions should provide a constructor with signature (ImageWriterSpi,
Object) in order to retrieve the extension object. If the extension object is unsuitable, an IllegalArgumentException should be thrown.
originatingProvider - the ImageWriterSpi that is constructing this object, or null.public ImageWriterSpi getOriginatingProvider()
Returns the ImageWriterSpi object that created this ImageWriter, or null if this object was not created through the IIORegistry.
The default implementation returns the value of the originatingProvider instance variable.
ImageWriterSpi, or null.ImageWriterSpipublic void setOutput(Object output)
Sets the destination to the given ImageOutputStream or other Object. The destination is assumed to be ready to accept data, and will not be closed at the end of each write. This allows distributed imaging applications to transmit a series of images over a single network connection. If output is null, any currently set output will be removed.
If output is an ImageOutputStream, calls to the write, writeToSequence, and prepareWriteEmpty/endWriteEmpty methods will preserve the existing contents of the stream. Other write methods, such as writeInsert, replaceStreamMetadata, replaceImageMetadata, replacePixels, prepareInsertEmpty/endInsertEmpty, and endWriteSequence, require the full contents of the stream to be readable and writable, and may alter any portion of the stream.
Use of a general Object other than an ImageOutputStream is intended for writers that interact directly with an output device or imaging protocol. The set of legal classes is advertised by the writer's service provider's getOutputTypes method; most writers will return a single-element array containing only ImageOutputStream.class to indicate that they accept only an ImageOutputStream.
The default implementation sets the output instance variable to the value of output after checking output against the set of classes advertised by the originating provider, if there is one.
output - the ImageOutputStream or other Object to use for future writing.IllegalArgumentException - if output is not an instance of one of the classes returned by the originating service provider's getOutputTypes method.getOutput()public Object getOutput()
Returns the ImageOutputStream or other Object set by the most recent call to the setOutput method. If no destination has been set, null is returned.
The default implementation returns the value of the output instance variable.
Object that was specified using setOutput, or null.setOutput(java.lang.Object)public Locale[] getAvailableLocales()
Returns an array of Locales that may be used to localize warning listeners and compression settings. A return value of null indicates that localization is not supported.
The default implementation returns a clone of the availableLocales instance variable if it is non-null, or else returns null.
Locales that may be used as arguments to setLocale, or null.public void setLocale(Locale locale)
Sets the current Locale of this ImageWriter to the given value. A value of null removes any previous setting, and indicates that the writer should localize as it sees fit.
The default implementation checks locale against the values returned by getAvailableLocales, and sets the locale instance variable if it is found. If locale is null, the instance variable is set to null without any checking.
locale - the desired Locale, or null.IllegalArgumentException - if locale is non-null but is not one of the values returned by getAvailableLocales.getLocale()public Locale getLocale()
Returns the currently set Locale, or null if none has been set.
The default implementation returns the value of the locale instance variable.
Locale, or null.setLocale(java.util.Locale)public ImageWriteParam getDefaultWriteParam()
Returns a new ImageWriteParam object of the appropriate type for this file format containing default values, that is, those values that would be used if no ImageWriteParam object were specified. This is useful as a starting point for tweaking just a few parameters and otherwise leaving the default settings alone.
The default implementation constructs and returns a new ImageWriteParam object that does not allow tiling, progressive encoding, or compression, and that will be localized for the current Locale (i.e., what you would get by calling new
ImageWriteParam(getLocale()).
Individual plug-ins may return an instance of ImageWriteParam with additional optional features enabled, or they may return an instance of a plug-in specific subclass of ImageWriteParam.
ImageWriteParam object containing default values.public abstract IIOMetadata getDefaultStreamMetadata(ImageWriteParam param)
Returns an IIOMetadata object containing default values for encoding a stream of images. The contents of the object may be manipulated using either the XML tree structure returned by the IIOMetadata.getAsTree method, an IIOMetadataController object, or via plug-in specific interfaces, and the resulting data supplied to one of the write methods that take a stream metadata parameter.
An optional ImageWriteParam may be supplied for cases where it may affect the structure of the stream metadata.
If the supplied ImageWriteParam contains optional setting values not supported by this writer (e.g. progressive encoding or any format-specific settings), they will be ignored.
Writers that do not make use of stream metadata (e.g., writers for single-image formats) should return null.

ImageWriteParam param,
IIOMetadata streamMetadata,
IIOMetadata imageMetadata) Returns an array of Dimensions indicating the legal size ranges for thumbnail images as they will be encoded in the output file or stream. This information is merely advisory; the writer will resize any supplied thumbnails as necessary.
The information is returned as a set of pairs; the first element of a pair contains an (inclusive) minimum width and height, and the second element contains an (inclusive) maximum width and height. Together, each pair defines a valid range of sizes. To specify a fixed size, the same width and height will appear for both elements. A return value of null indicates that the size is arbitrary or unknown.
An ImageWriteParam may optionally be supplied for cases where it may affect thumbnail handling.
If the supplied ImageWriteParam contains optional setting values not supported by this writer (e.g. progressive encoding or any format-specific settings), they will be ignored.

IIOImage image,
ImageWriteParam param)
throws IOException Appends a complete image stream containing a single image and associated stream and image metadata and thumbnails to the output. Any necessary header information is included. If the output is an ImageOutputStream, its existing contents prior to the current seek position are not affected, and need not be readable or writable.
The output must have been set beforehand using the setOutput method.
Stream metadata may optionally be supplied; if it is null, default stream metadata will be used.
If canWriteRasters returns true, the IIOImage may contain a Raster source. Otherwise, it must contain a RenderedImage source.
The supplied thumbnails will be resized if needed, and any thumbnails in excess of the supported number will be ignored. If the format requires additional thumbnails that are not provided, the writer should generate them internally.
An ImageWriteParam may optionally be supplied to control the writing process. If param is null, a default write param will be used.

true if images may be appended sequentially.public void prepareWriteSequence(IIOMetadata streamMetadata)
throws IOException Prepares a stream to accept a series of subsequent writeToSequence calls, using the provided stream metadata object. The metadata will be written to the stream if it should precede the image data. If the argument is null, default stream metadata is used.
If the output is an ImageOutputStream, the existing contents of the output prior to the current seek position are flushed, and need not be readable or writable. If the format requires that endWriteSequence be able to rewind to patch up the header information, such as for a sequence of images in a single TIFF file, then the metadata written by this method must remain in a writable portion of the stream. Other formats may flush the stream after this method and after each image.
If canWriteSequence returns false, this method will throw an UnsupportedOperationException.

Requests that any current write operation be aborted. The contents of the output following the abort will be undefined.
Writers should call clearAbortRequest at the beginning of each write operation, and poll the value of abortRequested regularly during the write.
protected boolean abortRequested()
Returns true if a request to abort the current write operation has been made since the writer was instantiated or clearAbortRequest was called.
true if the current write operation should be aborted.abort(), clearAbortRequest()
protected void clearAbortRequest()
Clears any previous abort request. After this method has been called, abortRequested will return false.

public void addIIOWriteWarningListener(IIOWriteWarningListener listener)
Adds an IIOWriteWarningListener to the list of registered warning listeners. If listener is null, no exception will be thrown and no action will be taken. Messages sent to the given listener will be localized, if possible, to match the current Locale. If no Locale has been set, warning messages may be localized as the writer sees fit.
listener - an IIOWriteWarningListener to be registered.removeIIOWriteWarningListener(javax.imageio.event.IIOWriteWarningListener)public void removeIIOWriteWarningListener(IIOWriteWarningListener listener)
Removes an IIOWriteWarningListener from the list of registered warning listeners. If the listener was not previously registered, or if listener is null, no exception will be thrown and no action will be taken.
listener - an IIOWriteWarningListener to be deregistered.addIIOWriteWarningListener(javax.imageio.event.IIOWriteWarningListener)public void removeAllIIOWriteWarningListeners()
Removes all currently registered IIOWriteWarningListener objects.
The default implementation sets the warningListeners and warningLocales instance variables to null.
public void addIIOWriteProgressListener(IIOWriteProgressListener listener)
Adds an IIOWriteProgressListener to the list of registered progress listeners. If listener is null, no exception will be thrown and no action will be taken.
listener - an IIOWriteProgressListener to be registered.removeIIOWriteProgressListener(javax.imageio.event.IIOWriteProgressListener)public void removeIIOWriteProgressListener(IIOWriteProgressListener listener)

Removes all currently registered IIOWriteProgressListener objects.
The default implementation sets the progressListeners instance variable to null.
protected void processImageStarted(int imageIndex)
Broadcasts the start of an image write to all registered IIOWriteProgressListeners by calling their imageStarted method. Subclasses may use this method as a convenience.
imageIndex - the index of the image about to be written.protected void processImageProgress(float percentageDone)
Broadcasts the current percentage of image completion to all registered IIOWriteProgressListeners by calling their imageProgress method. Subclasses may use this method as a convenience.
percentageDone - the current percentage of completion, as a float.protected void processImageComplete()
Broadcasts the completion of an image write to all registered IIOWriteProgressListeners by calling their imageComplete method. Subclasses may use this method as a convenience.
protected void processThumbnailStarted(int imageIndex,
int thumbnailIndex) Broadcasts the start of a thumbnail write to all registered IIOWriteProgressListeners by calling their thumbnailStarted method. Subclasses may use this method as a convenience.
imageIndex - the index of the image associated with the thumbnail.thumbnailIndex - the index of the thumbnail.protected void processThumbnailProgress(float percentageDone)
Broadcasts the current percentage of thumbnail completion to all registered IIOWriteProgressListeners by calling their thumbnailProgress method. Subclasses may use this method as a convenience.
percentageDone - the current percentage of completion, as a float.protected void processThumbnailComplete()
Broadcasts the completion of a thumbnail write to all registered IIOWriteProgressListeners by calling their thumbnailComplete method. Subclasses may use this method as a convenience.
protected void processWriteAborted()
Broadcasts that the write has been aborted to all registered IIOWriteProgressListeners by calling their writeAborted method. Subclasses may use this method as a convenience.
protected void processWarningOccurred(int imageIndex,
String warning) Broadcasts a warning message to all registered IIOWriteWarningListeners by calling their warningOccurred method. Subclasses may use this method as a convenience.
imageIndex - the index of the image on which the warning occurred.warning - the warning message.IllegalArgumentException - if warning is null.protected void processWarningOccurred(int imageIndex,
String baseName,
String keyword) Broadcasts a localized warning message to all registered IIOWriteWarningListeners by calling their warningOccurred method with a string taken from a ResourceBundle. Subclasses may use this method as a convenience.
imageIndex - the index of the image on which the warning occurred.baseName - the base name of a set of ResourceBundles containing localized warning messages.keyword - the keyword used to index the warning message within the set of ResourceBundles.IllegalArgumentException - if baseName is null.IllegalArgumentException - if keyword is null.IllegalArgumentException - if no appropriate ResourceBundle may be located.IllegalArgumentException - if the named resource is not found in the located ResourceBundle.IllegalArgumentException - if the object retrieved from the ResourceBundle is not a String.public void reset()
Restores the ImageWriter to its initial state.
The default implementation calls setOutput(null), setLocale(null), removeAllIIOWriteWarningListeners(), removeAllIIOWriteProgressListeners(), and clearAbortRequest.
public void dispose()
Allows any resources held by this object to be released. The result of calling any other method (other than finalize) subsequent to a call to this method is undefined.
It is important for applications to call this method when they know they will no longer be using this ImageWriter. Otherwise, the writer may continue to hold on to resources indefinitely.
The default implementation of this method in the superclass does nothing. Subclass implementations should ensure that all resources, especially native resources, are released.
