Class TIFFCompressor

    • Field Detail

      • writer

        protected ImageWriter writer
        The ImageWriter calling this TIFFCompressor.
      • metadata

        protected IIOMetadata metadata
        The IIOMetadata object containing metadata for the current image.
      • compressionType

        protected String compressionType
        The name of the compression type supported by this compressor.
      • compressionTagValue

        protected int compressionTagValue
        The value to be assigned to the TIFF Compression tag in the TIFF image metadata.
      • isCompressionLossless

        protected boolean isCompressionLossless
        Whether the compression is lossless.
    • Constructor Detail

      • TIFFCompressor

        public TIFFCompressor​(String compressionType,
                              int compressionTagValue,
                              boolean isCompressionLossless)
        Creates a compressor object for use in compressing TIFF data. This object may be passed to the TIFFImageWriteParam.setTIFFCompressor(TIFFCompressor) method to override the compressor of a supported compression type or to provide the implementation of the compression algorithm of an unsupported compression type.

        The parameters compressionTagValue and isCompressionLossless are provided to accomodate compression types which are unknown. A compression type is "known" if it is either among those already supported by the TIFF writer (see TIFFImageWriteParam), or is listed in the TIFF 6.0 specification but not supported. If the compression type is unknown, the compressionTagValue and isCompressionLossless parameters are ignored.

        Parameters:
        compressionType - The name of the compression type.
        compressionTagValue - The value to be assigned to the TIFF Compression tag in the TIFF image metadata; ignored if compressionType is a known type.
        isCompressionLossless - Whether the compression is lossless; ignored if compressionType is a known type.
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if compressionType is null or compressionTagValue is less than 1.
    • Method Detail

      • getCompressionType

        public String getCompressionType()
        Retrieve the name of the compression type supported by this compressor.

        The Compression tag value.
      • isCompressionLossless

        public boolean isCompressionLossless()
        Retrieves a value indicating whether the compression is lossless.

      • setStream

        public void setStream​(ImageOutputStream stream)
        Sets the ImageOutputStream to be written.
        Parameters:
        stream - an ImageOutputStream to be written.
        See Also:
        getStream()
      • setWriter

        public void setWriter​(ImageWriter writer)
        Sets the value of the writer field.

        getWriter()
      • setMetadata

        public void setMetadata​(IIOMetadata metadata)
        Sets the value of the metadata field.
        Parameters:
        metadata - the IIOMetadata object for the image being written.
        See Also:
        getMetadata()
      • getMetadata

        public IIOMetadata getMetadata()
        Returns the current IIOMetadata object.
        Returns:
        the IIOMetadata object for the image being written.
        See Also:
        setMetadata(IIOMetadata)
      • encode

        public abstract int encode​(byte[] b,
                                   int off,
                                   int width,
                                   int height,
                                   int[] bitsPerSample,
                                   int scanlineStride)
                            throws IOException
        Encodes the supplied image data, writing to the currently set ImageOutputStream.
        Parameters:
        b - an array of bytes containing the packed but uncompressed image data.
        off - the starting offset of the data to be written in the array b.
        width - the width of the rectangle of pixels to be written.
        height - the height of the rectangle of pixels to be written.
        bitsPerSample - an array of ints indicting the number of bits used to represent each image sample within a pixel.
        scanlineStride - the number of bytes separating each row of the input data.
        Returns:
        the number of bytes written.
        Throws:
        IOException - if the supplied data cannot be encoded by this TIFFCompressor, or if any I/O error occurs during writing.
