Class AbstractMultiResolutionImage

java.lang.Object

java.awt.Image

java.awt.image.AbstractMultiResolutionImage

All Implemented Interfaces:: MultiResolutionImage

Direct Known Subclasses:: BaseMultiResolutionImage

public abstract class AbstractMultiResolutionImage extends Image implements MultiResolutionImage

This class provides default implementations of several Image methods for classes that want to implement the MultiResolutionImage interface. For example,

public class CustomMultiResolutionImage extends AbstractMultiResolutionImage {

    final Image[] resolutionVariants;

    public CustomMultiResolutionImage(Image... resolutionVariants) {
         this.resolutionVariants = resolutionVariants;
    }

    public Image getResolutionVariant(
            double destImageWidth, double destImageHeight) {
        // return a resolution variant based on the given destination image size
    }

    public List<Image> getResolutionVariants() {
        return Collections.unmodifiableList(Arrays.asList(resolutionVariants));
    }

    protected Image getBaseImage() {
        return resolutionVariants[0];
    }
}

Constructor Summary

AbstractMultiResolutionImage()

Modifier	Constructor	Description
`protected`	Constructor for subclasses to call.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`protected abstract Image`	`getBaseImage()`	Return the base image representing the best version of the image for rendering at the default width and height.
`Graphics`	`getGraphics()`	As per the contract of the base `Image#getGraphics()` method, this implementation will always throw `UnsupportedOperationException` since only off-screen images can return a `Graphics` object.
`int`	`getHeight(ImageObserver observer)`	This method simply delegates to the same method on the base image and it is equivalent to: `getBaseImage().getHeight(observer)`.
`Object`	`getProperty(String name, ImageObserver observer)`	This method simply delegates to the same method on the base image and it is equivalent to: `getBaseImage().getProperty(name, observer)`.
`ImageProducer`	`getSource()`	This method simply delegates to the same method on the base image and it is equivalent to: `getBaseImage().getSource()`.
`int`	`getWidth(ImageObserver observer)`	This method simply delegates to the same method on the base image and it is equivalent to: `getBaseImage().getWidth(observer)`.

Method Details

getWidth

public int getWidth(ImageObserver observer)

This method simply delegates to the same method on the base image and it is equivalent to: getBaseImage().getWidth(observer).

Specified by:

getWidth in class Image

Parameters:

observer - an object waiting for the image to be loaded.

Returns:

the width of the base image, or -1 if the width is not yet known

Since:

See Also:

getHeight

public int getHeight(ImageObserver observer)

This method simply delegates to the same method on the base image and it is equivalent to: getBaseImage().getHeight(observer).

Specified by:

getHeight in class Image

Parameters:

observer - an object waiting for the image to be loaded.

Returns:

the height of the base image, or -1 if the height is not yet known

Since:

See Also:

getSource

public ImageProducer getSource()

This method simply delegates to the same method on the base image and it is equivalent to: getBaseImage().getSource().

Specified by:

getSource in class Image

Returns:

the image producer that produces the pixels for the base image

Since:

See Also:

getGraphics

public Graphics getGraphics()

As per the contract of the base Image#getGraphics() method, this implementation will always throw UnsupportedOperationException since only off-screen images can return a Graphics object.

Specified by:

getGraphics in class Image

Returns:

throws UnsupportedOperationException

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - this method is not supported

See Also:

getProperty

public Object getProperty(String name, ImageObserver observer)

This method simply delegates to the same method on the base image and it is equivalent to: getBaseImage().getProperty(name, observer).

Specified by:

getProperty in class Image

Parameters:

name - a property name.

observer - an object waiting for this image to be loaded.

Returns:

the value of the named property in the base image

Since:

See Also:

getBaseImage

protected abstract Image getBaseImage()

Return the base image representing the best version of the image for rendering at the default width and height.

Returns:: the base image of the set of multi-resolution images
