Method Detail

createImage

public static java.awt.image.BufferedImage createImage(java.awt.image.ImageProducer producer)

Cretae a BufferedImage from an ImageProducer.

Parameters:

producer - the ImageProducer

Returns:

a new TYPE_INT_ARGB BufferedImage

convertImageToARGB

public static java.awt.image.BufferedImage convertImageToARGB(java.awt.Image image)

Convert an Image into a TYPE_INT_ARGB BufferedImage. If the image is already of this type, the original image is returned unchanged.

Parameters:

image - the image to convert

Returns:

the converted image

getSubimage

public static java.awt.image.BufferedImage getSubimage(java.awt.image.BufferedImage image,
                                                       int x,
                                                       int y,
                                                       int w,
                                                       int h)

Returns a *copy* of a subimage of image. This avoids the performance problems associated with BufferedImage.getSubimage.

Parameters:

image - the image

x - the x position

y - the y position

w - the width

h - the height

Returns:

the subimage

cloneImage

public static java.awt.image.BufferedImage cloneImage(java.awt.image.BufferedImage image)

Clones a BufferedImage.

Parameters:

image - the image to clone

Returns:

the cloned image

paintCheckedBackground

public static void paintCheckedBackground(java.awt.Component c,
                                          java.awt.Graphics g,
                                          int x,
                                          int y,
                                          int width,
                                          int height)

Paint a check pattern, used for a background to indicate image transparency.

Parameters:

c - the component to draw into

g - the Graphics objects

x - the x position

y - the y position

width - the width

height - the height

getSelectedBounds

public static java.awt.Rectangle getSelectedBounds(java.awt.image.BufferedImage p)

Calculates the bounds of the non-transparent parts of the given image.

Parameters:

p - the image

Returns:

the bounds of the non-transparent area

composeThroughMask

public static void composeThroughMask(java.awt.image.Raster src,
                                      java.awt.image.WritableRaster dst,
                                      java.awt.image.Raster sel)

Compose src onto dst using the alpha of sel to interpolate between the two. I can't think of a way to do this using AlphaComposite.

Parameters:

src - the source raster

dst - the destination raster

sel - the mask raster

getRGB

public static int[] getRGB(java.awt.image.BufferedImage image,
                           int x,
                           int y,
                           int width,
                           int height,
                           int[] pixels)

A convenience method for getting ARGB pixels from an image. This tries to avoid the performance penalty of BufferedImage.getRGB unmanaging the image.

Parameters:

image - a BufferedImage object

x - the left edge of the pixel block

y - the right edge of the pixel block

width - the width of the pixel arry

height - the height of the pixel arry

pixels - the array to hold the returned pixels. May be null.

Returns:

the pixels

setRGB

public static void setRGB(java.awt.image.BufferedImage image,
                          int x,
                          int y,
                          int width,
                          int height,
                          int[] pixels)

A convenience method for setting ARGB pixels in an image. This tries to avoid the performance penalty of BufferedImage.setRGB unmanaging the image.

Parameters:

image - a BufferedImage object

x - the left edge of the pixel block

y - the right edge of the pixel block

width - the width of the pixel arry

height - the height of the pixel arry

pixels - the array of pixels to set
