Class JPEGQTable

java.lang.Object

javax.imageio.plugins.jpeg.JPEGQTable

public class JPEGQTable extends Object

A class encapsulating a single JPEG quantization table. The elements appear in natural order (as opposed to zig-zag order). Static variables are provided for the "standard" tables taken from Annex K of the JPEG specification, as well as the default tables conventionally used for visually lossless encoding.

For more information about the operation of the standard JPEG plug-in, see the JPEG metadata format specification and usage notes

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`JPEGQTable`	`getScaledInstance(float scaleFactor, boolean forceBaseline)`	Returns a new quantization table where the values are multiplied by `scaleFactor` and then clamped to the range 1..32767 (or to 1..255 if `forceBaseline` is true).
`int[]`	`getTable()`	Returns a copy of the current quantization table as an array of `int`s in natural (not zig-zag) order.

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`protected Object`	`clone()`	Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)`	Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`protected void`	`finalize()`	Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version. Finalization is deprecated and subject to removal in a future release.
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()`	Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int`	`hashCode()`	Returns a hash code value for this object.
`final void`	`notify()`	Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`notifyAll()`	Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`wait()`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis)`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

Field Details

K1Luminance

public static final JPEGQTable K1Luminance

The sample luminance quantization table given in the JPEG specification, table K.1. According to the specification, these values produce "good" quality output.

See Also:

K1Div2Luminance

public static final JPEGQTable K1Div2Luminance

The sample luminance quantization table given in the JPEG specification, table K.1, with all elements divided by 2. According to the specification, these values produce "very good" quality output. This is the table usually used for "visually lossless" encoding, and is the default luminance table used if the default tables and quality settings are used.

See Also:

K2Chrominance

public static final JPEGQTable K2Chrominance

The sample chrominance quantization table given in the JPEG specification, table K.2. According to the specification, these values produce "good" quality output.

See Also:

K2Div2Chrominance

public static final JPEGQTable K2Div2Chrominance

The sample chrominance quantization table given in the JPEG specification, table K.1, with all elements divided by 2. According to the specification, these values produce "very good" quality output. This is the table usually used for "visually lossless" encoding, and is the default chrominance table used if the default tables and quality settings are used.

Constructor Details

JPEGQTable

public JPEGQTable(int[] table)

Constructs a quantization table from the argument, which must contain 64 elements in natural order (not zig-zag order). A copy is made of the input array.

Parameters:: table - the quantization table, as an int array.
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if table is null or table.length is not equal to 64.

Method Details

getTable

public int[] getTable()

Returns a copy of the current quantization table as an array of ints in natural (not zig-zag) order.

Returns:: A copy of the current quantization table.

getScaledInstance

public JPEGQTable getScaledInstance(float scaleFactor, boolean forceBaseline)

Returns a new quantization table where the values are multiplied by scaleFactor and then clamped to the range 1..32767 (or to 1..255 if forceBaseline is true).

Values of scaleFactor less than 1 tend to improve the quality level of the table, and values greater than 1.0 degrade the quality level of the table.

Parameters:: scaleFactor - multiplication factor for the table.; forceBaseline - if true, the values will be clamped to the range 1..255
Returns:: a new quantization table that is a linear multiple of the current table.

toString

public String toString()

Returns a String representing this quantization table.

Overrides:: toString in class Object
Returns:: a String representing this quantization table.
