public interface PixelReader

This interface defines methods for retrieving the pixel data from an Image or other surface containing pixels.

Since:: JavaFX 2.2

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`int`	`getArgb(int x, int y)`	Reads a 32-bit integer representation of the color of a pixel from the specified coordinates in the surface.
`Color`	`getColor(int x, int y)`	Reads the color of a pixel from the specified coordinates in the surface and returns the value as a `Color` object.
`PixelFormat`	`getPixelFormat()`	This method returns the `PixelFormat` in which the surface stores its pixels, or a roughly equivalent pixel format into which it can easily convert its pixels for purposes of reading them.
`void`	`getPixels(int x, int y, int w, int h, WritablePixelFormat<ByteBuffer> pixelformat, byte[] buffer, int offset, int scanlineStride)`	Reads pixel data from a rectangular region of the surface into the specified byte array.
`void`	`getPixels(int x, int y, int w, int h, WritablePixelFormat<IntBuffer> pixelformat, int[] buffer, int offset, int scanlineStride)`	Reads pixel data from a rectangular region of the surface into the specified int array.
`<T extends Buffer> void`	`getPixels(int x, int y, int w, int h, WritablePixelFormat<T> pixelformat, T buffer, int scanlineStride)`	Reads pixel data from a rectangular region of the surface into the specified buffer.

Method Details

getPixelFormat

PixelFormat getPixelFormat()

This method returns the PixelFormat in which the surface stores its pixels, or a roughly equivalent pixel format into which it can easily convert its pixels for purposes of reading them.

Returns:: the PixelFormat that best describes the underlying pixels

getArgb

int getArgb(int x, int y)

Reads a 32-bit integer representation of the color of a pixel from the specified coordinates in the surface. The 32-bit integer will contain the 4 color components in separate 8-bit fields in ARGB order from the most significant byte to the least significant byte.

Parameters:: x - the X coordinate of the pixel color to read; y - the Y coordinate of the pixel color to read
Returns:: a 32-bit representation of the color in the format described by the INT_ARGB PixelFormat type.

getColor

Color getColor(int x, int y)

Reads the color of a pixel from the specified coordinates in the surface and returns the value as a Color object.

Parameters:: x - the X coordinate of the pixel color to read; y - the Y coordinate of the pixel color to read
Returns:: the Color object representing the color of the indicated pixel

getPixels

<T extends Buffer> void getPixels(int x, int y, int w, int h, WritablePixelFormat<T> pixelformat, T buffer, int scanlineStride)

Reads pixel data from a rectangular region of the surface into the specified buffer. The format to be used for pixels in the buffer is defined by the PixelFormat object and pixel format conversions will be performed as needed to store the data in the indicated format. The buffer is assumed to be positioned to the location where the first pixel data from the image pixel at location (x, y) will be stored. Pixel data for a row will be stored in adjacent locations within the buffer packed as tightly as possible for increasing X coordinates. Pixel data for adjacent rows will be stored offset from each other by the number of buffer data elements defined by scanlineStride.

Type Parameters:: T - the type of the buffer
Parameters:: x - the X coordinate of the rectangular region to read; y - the Y coordinate of the rectangular region to read; w - the width of the rectangular region to read; h - the height of the rectangular region to read; pixelformat - the PixelFormat object defining the format to store the pixels into buffer; buffer - a buffer of a type appropriate for the indicated PixelFormat object; scanlineStride - the distance between the pixel data for the start of one row of data in the buffer to the start of the next row of data.

getPixels

void getPixels(int x, int y, int w, int h, WritablePixelFormat<ByteBuffer> pixelformat, byte[] buffer, int offset, int scanlineStride)

Reads pixel data from a rectangular region of the surface into the specified byte array. The format to be used for pixels in the buffer is defined by the PixelFormat object and pixel format conversions will be performed as needed to store the data in the indicated format. The pixelformat must be a compatible PixelFormat<ByteBuffer> type. The data for the first pixel at location (x, y) will be read into the array index specified by the offset parameter. Pixel data for a row will be stored in adjacent locations within the array packed as tightly as possible for increasing X coordinates. Pixel data for adjacent rows will be stored offset from each other by the number of byte array elements defined by scanlineStride.

Parameters:: x - the X coordinate of the rectangular region to read; y - the Y coordinate of the rectangular region to read; w - the width of the rectangular region to read; h - the height of the rectangular region to read; pixelformat - the PixelFormat<ByteBuffer> object defining the byte format to store the pixels into buffer; buffer - a byte array to store the returned pixel data; offset - the offset into buffer to store the first pixel data; scanlineStride - the distance between the pixel data for the start of one row of data in the buffer to the start of the next row of data

getPixels

void getPixels(int x, int y, int w, int h, WritablePixelFormat<IntBuffer> pixelformat, int[] buffer, int offset, int scanlineStride)

Reads pixel data from a rectangular region of the surface into the specified int array. The format to be used for pixels in the buffer is defined by the PixelFormat object and pixel format conversions will be performed as needed to store the data in the indicated format. The pixelformat must be a compatible PixelFormat<IntBuffer> type. The data for the first pixel at location (x, y) will be read into the array index specified by the offset parameter. Pixel data for a row will be stored in adjacent locations within the array packed as tightly as possible for increasing X coordinates. Pixel data for adjacent rows will be stored offset from each other by the number of int array elements defined by scanlineStride.

Parameters:: x - the X coordinate of the rectangular region to read; y - the Y coordinate of the rectangular region to read; w - the width of the rectangular region to read; h - the height of the rectangular region to read; pixelformat - the PixelFormat<IntBuffer> object defining the int format to store the pixels into buffer; buffer - a int array to store the returned pixel data; offset - the offset into buffer to store the first pixel data; scanlineStride - the distance between the pixel data for the start of one row of data in the buffer to the start of the next row of data
