Class TIFFImageWriteParam
ImageWriteParam
allowing control over the TIFF writing process. The set of innately
supported compression types is listed in the following table:
| Compression Type | Description | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| CCITT RLE | Modified Huffman compression | TIFF 6.0 Specification, Section 10 |
| CCITT T.4 | CCITT T.4 bilevel encoding/Group 3 facsimile compression | TIFF 6.0 Specification, Section 11 |
| CCITT T.6 | CCITT T.6 bilevel encoding/Group 4 facsimile compression | TIFF 6.0 Specification, Section 11 |
| LZW | LZW compression | TIFF 6.0 Specification, Section 13 |
| JPEG | "New" JPEG-in-TIFF compression | TIFF Technical Note #2 |
| ZLib | "Deflate/Inflate" compression (see note following this table) | Adobe Photoshop® TIFF Technical Notes (PDF) |
| PackBits | Byte-oriented, run length compression | TIFF 6.0 Specification, Section 9 |
| Deflate | "Zip-in-TIFF" compression (see note following this table) | ZLIB Compressed Data Format Specification, DEFLATE Compressed Data Format Specification |
| EXIF JPEG | EXIF-specific JPEG compression (see note following this table) | EXIF 2.2 Specification (PDF), section 4.5.5, "Basic Structure of Thumbnail Data" |
Old-style JPEG compression as described in section 22 of the TIFF 6.0 Specification is not supported.
The CCITT compression types are applicable to bilevel (1-bit) images only. The JPEG compression type is applicable to byte grayscale (1-band) and RGB (3-band) images only.
ZLib and Deflate compression are identical except for the value of the TIFF Compression field: for ZLib the Compression field has value 8 whereas for Deflate it has value 32946 (0x80b2). In both cases each image segment (strip or tile) is written as a single complete zlib data stream.
"EXIF JPEG" is a compression type used when writing the contents of an APP1 EXIF marker segment for inclusion in a JPEG native image metadata tree. The contents appended to the output when this compression type is used are a function of whether an empty or non-empty image is written. If the image is empty, then a TIFF IFD adhering to the specification of a compressed EXIF primary IFD is appended. If the image is non-empty, then a complete IFD and image adhering to the specification of a compressed EXIF thumbnail IFD and image are appended. Note that the data of the empty image may not later be appended using the pixel replacement capability of the TIFF writer.
If ZLib/Deflate or JPEG compression is used, the compression quality may be set. For ZLib/Deflate the supplied floating point quality value is rescaled to the range [1, 9] and truncated to an integer to derive the Deflate compression level. For JPEG the floating point quality value is passed directly to the JPEG writer plug-in which interprets it in the usual way.
The canWriteTiles and
canWriteCompressed methods will return
true; the canOffsetTiles and
canWriteProgressive methods will return
false.
If tiles are being written, then each of their dimensions will be rounded to the nearest multiple of 16 per the TIFF specification. If JPEG-in-TIFF compression is being used, and tiles are being written each tile dimension will be rounded to the nearest multiple of 8 times the JPEG minimum coded unit (MCU) in that dimension. If JPEG-in-TIFF compression is being used and strips are being written, the number of rows per strip is rounded to a multiple of 8 times the maximum MCU over both dimensions.

-
setTIFFCompressor
Sets theTIFFCompressorobject to be used by theImageWriterto encode each image strip or tile. A value ofnullallows the writer to choose its own TIFFCompressor.Note that invoking this method is not sufficient to set the compression type:
must be invoked explicitly for this purpose. The following code illustrates the correct procedure:setCompressionType()TIFFImageWriteParam writeParam; TIFFCompressor compressor; writeParam.setCompressionMode(writeParam.MODE_EXPLICIT); writeParam.setTIFFCompressor(compressor); writeParam.setCompressionType(compressor.getCompressionType());
IfcompressionTypeis set to a value different from that supported by theTIFFCompressorthen the compressor object will not be used.If the compression type supported by the supplied
TIFFCompressoris not among those in, then it will be appended to this array after removing any previously appended compression type. IfcompressionTypescompressorisnullthis will also cause any previously appended type to be removed from the array.- Parameters:
compressor- theTIFFCompressorto be used for encoding, ornullto allow the writer to choose its own.- Throws:
IllegalStateException- if the compression mode is notMODE_EXPLICIT.- See Also:
-
getTIFFCompressor
Returns theTIFFCompressorthat is currently set to be used by theImageWriterto encode each image strip or tile, ornullif none has been set.- Returns:
- compressor the
TIFFCompressorto be used for encoding, ornullif none has been set (allowing the writer to choose its own). - Throws:
IllegalStateException- if the compression mode is notMODE_EXPLICIT.- See Also:
-
setColorConverter
Sets theTIFFColorConverterobject describing the color space to which the input data should be converted for storage in the input stream. In addition, the value to be written to thePhotometricInterpretationtag is supplied.- Parameters:
colorConverter- aTIFFColorConverterobject, ornull.photometricInterpretation- the value to be written to thePhotometricInterpretationtag in the root IFD.- See Also:
-
getColorConverter
Returns the currentTIFFColorConverterobject that will be used to perform color conversion when writing the image, ornullif none is set.- Returns:
- a
TIFFColorConverterobject, ornull. - See Also:
-
getPhotometricInterpretation
public int getPhotometricInterpretation()Returns the current value that will be written to thePhotometricinterpretationtag. This method should only be called if a value has been set using thesetColorConvertermethod.- Returns:
- an
intto be used as the value of thePhotometricInterpretationtag. - Throws:
IllegalStateException- if no value is set.- See Also:
-
unsetColorConverter
public void unsetColorConverter()Removes any currently setColorConverterobject andPhotometricInterpretationtag value.
