33 A package of the Java Image I/O API dealing with low-level I/O from |
|
34 files and streams. |
|
35 |
|
36 <p> |
|
37 |
|
38 The <code>ImageInputStream</code> interface unifies streaming and |
|
39 file-based operations. An abstract base class, |
|
40 <code>ImageInputStreamImpl</code> is provided to simplify writing |
|
41 a new <code>ImageInputStream</code> class. Concrete implementation |
|
42 classes (<code>FileImageInputStream</code>, |
|
43 <code>FileCacheImageInputStream</code>, and |
|
44 <code>MemoryCacheImageInputStream</code>) are provided that allow |
|
45 input to come from a <code>File</code> or <code>InputStream</code> |
|
46 with or without the use of a temporary cache file. |
|
47 |
|
48 <p> |
|
49 |
|
50 The <code>ImageOutputStream</code> interface performs an analogous |
|
51 function for output. An abstract base class, |
|
52 <code>ImageOutputStreamImpl</code> is provided, along with |
|
53 concrete implementation classes (<code>FileImageOutputStream</code>, |
|
54 <code>FileCacheImageOutputStream</code>, and |
|
55 <code>MemoryCacheImageOutputStream</code>) are provided that allow |
|
56 output to go to a <code>File</code> or <code>OutputStream</code> with |
|
57 or without the use of a temporary cache file. |
|
58 |
|
59 <p> |
|
60 |
|
61 The <code>IIOByteBuffer</code> class provides an alternative way to |
|
62 perform reads of sequences of bytes that reduces the amount of |
|
63 internal data copying. |
