-
-The ImageInputStream interface unifies streaming and
-file-based operations. An abstract base class,
-ImageInputStreamImpl is provided to simplify writing
-a new ImageInputStream class. Concrete implementation
-classes (FileImageInputStream,
-FileCacheImageInputStream, and
-MemoryCacheImageInputStream) are provided that allow
-input to come from a File or InputStream
-with or without the use of a temporary cache file.

-
-The ImageOutputStream interface performs an analogous
-function for output. An abstract base class,
-ImageOutputStreamImpl is provided, along with
-concrete implementation classes (FileImageOutputStream,
-FileCacheImageOutputStream, and
-MemoryCacheImageOutputStream) are provided that allow
-output to go to a File or OutputStream with
-or without the use of a temporary cache file.

-
-The IIOByteBuffer class provides an alternative way to
-perform reads of sequences of bytes that reduces the amount of
-internal data copying.
