MyFormatImageWriterSpi
TheMyFormatImageWriterSpi
call plays a similar role to theMyFormatImageReaderSpi
class discussed in the previous section. However, instead of being responsible for determining whether a given stream can be read, it must deterine whether an image in memory can be written. Rather than inspecting the image itself, anImageTypeSpecifier
is used so that writers may be selected before an actual image is available.

package com.mycompany.imageio; import java.awt.Rectangle; import java.awt.image.Raster; import java.awt.image.RenderedImage; import java.io.IOException; import java.util.Iterator; import javax.imageio.IIOException; import javax.imageio.IIOImage; import javax.imageio.ImageTypeSpecifier; import javax.imageio.ImageWriteParam; import javax.imageio.ImageWriter; import javax.imageio.metadata.IIOMetadata; import javax.imageio.spi.ImageWriterSpi; import javax.imageio.stream.ImageOutputStream; public class MyFormatImageWriter extends ImageWriter { ImageOutputStream stream = null; public MyFormatImageWriter(ImageWriterSpi originatingProvider) { super(originatingProvider); } public void setOutput(Object output) { super.setOutput(output); if (output != null) { if (!(output instanceof ImageOutputStream)) { throw new IllegalArgumentException ("output not an ImageOutputStream!"); } this.stream = (ImageOutputStream)output; } else { this.stream = null; } }
TheImageWriteParam
returned bygetDefaultWriteParam
must be customized based on the writer's capabilities. Since this writer does not support tiling, progessive encoding, or compression, we pass in values offalse
ornull
as appropriate:
// Tiling, progressive encoding, compression are disabled by default public ImageWriteParam getDefaultWriteParam() { return new ImageWriteParam(getLocale()); }
The format only handles image metadata. The convertImageMetadata method does very little; it could be defined to interpret the metadata classes used by other plug-ins.
public IIOMetadata getDefaultStreamMetadata(ImageWriteParam param) { return null; } public IIOMetadata getDefaultImageMetadata(ImageTypeSpecifier imageType, ImageWriteParam param) { return new MyFormatMetadata(); } public IIOMetadata convertStreamMetadata(IIOMetadata inData, ImageWriteParam param) { return null; } public IIOMetadata convertImageMetadata(IIOMetadata inData, ImageTypeSpecifier imageType, ImageWriteParam param) { // We only understand our own metadata if (inData instanceof MyFormatMetadata) { return inData; } else { return null; } }
The actual writing of the image requires first applying the source region, source bands, and subsampling factors from theImageWriteParam
. The source region and source bands may be handled by creating a childRaster
. For simplicity, we extract a singleRaster
from the source image. If the source image is tiled, we can save memory by extracting smallerRaster
s as needed.
public void write(IIOMetadata streamMetadata, IIOImage image, ImageWriteParam param) throws IIOException { RenderedImage im = image.getRenderedImage(); Rectangle sourceRegion = new Rectangle(0, 0, im.getWidth(), im.getHeight()); int sourceXSubsampling = 1; int sourceYSubsampling = 1; int[] sourceBands = null; if (param != null) { sourceRegion = sourceRegion.intersection(param.getSourceRegion()); sourceXSubsampling = param.getSourceXSubsampling(); sourceYSubsampling = param.getSourceYSubsampling(); sourceBands = param.getSourceBands(); int subsampleXOffset = param.getSubsamplingXOffset(); int subsampleYOffset = param.getSubsamplingYOffset(); sourceRegion.x += subsampleXOffset; sourceRegion.y += subsampleYOffset; sourceRegion.width -= subsampleXOffset; sourceRegion.height -= subsampleYOffset; } // Grab a Raster containing the region of interest int width = sourceRegion.width; int height = sourceRegion.height; Raster imRas = im.getData(sourceRegion); int numBands = imRas.getNumBands(); // Check that sourceBands values are in range if (sourceBands != null) { for (int i = 0; i < sourceBands.length; i++) { if (sourceBands[i] >= numBands) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("bad band!"); } } } // Translate imRas to start at (0, 0) and subset the bands imRas = imRas.createChild(sourceRegion.x, sourceRegion.y, width, height, 0, 0, sourceBands); // Reduce width and height according to subsampling factors width = (width + sourceXSubsampling - 1)/sourceXSubsampling; height = (height + sourceYSubsampling - 1)/sourceYSubsampling; // Assume 1 band image is grayscale, 3 band image is RGB int colorType; if (numBands == 1) { colorType = MyFormatImageReader.COLOR_TYPE_GRAY; } else if (numBands == 3) { colorType = MyFormatImageReader.COLOR_TYPE_RGB; } else { throw new IIOException("Image must have 1 or 3 bands!"); }
Once the image dimensions and color type of the image have been ascertained, the plug-in is ready to write the file header:
try { byte[] signature = { (byte)'m', (byte)'y', (byte)'f', (byte)'o', (byte)'r', (byte)'m', (byte)'a', (byte)'t' }; // Output header information stream.write(signature); stream.write(`\n'); stream.writeInt(width); stream.writeInt(height); stream.writeByte(colorType); stream.write(`\n');
Next, the plug-in extracts the image metadata from thewrite
method'sIIOImage
argument, and attempts to convert it into aMyFormatMetadata
object by callingconvertImageMetadata
. If the result is non-null
, the keywords and values are extracted from the metadata and written to the output:
// Attempt to convert metadata, if present IIOMetadata imd = image.getMetadata(); MyFormatMetadata metadata = null; if (imd != null) { ImageTypeSpecifier type = ImageTypeSpecifier.createFromRenderedImage(im); metadata = (MyFormatMetadata)convertImageMetadata(imd, type, null); } // Output metadata if present if (metadata != null) { Iterator keywordIter = metadata.keywords.iterator(); Iterator valueIter = metadata.values.iterator(); while (keywordIter.hasNext()) { String keyword = (String)keywordIter.next(); String value = (String)valueIter.next(); stream.writeUTF(keyword); stream.write(`\n'); stream.writeUTF(value); stream.write(`\n'); } } stream.writeUTF("END"); stream.write(`\n');
Finally, the plug-in is ready to begin writing the pixel data. The imageRaster
is copied into an int array, one row at a time using thegetPixels
method. Then these values are subsampled using the horizontal subsampling factor, and copied into a byte array, which is written to the output with a single write call. The source row is then incremented by the vertical subsampling factor until the end of the source region is reached, and the output stream is flushed:
// Output (subsampled) pixel values int rowLength = width*numBands; int xSkip = sourceXSubsampling*numBands; int[] rowPixels = imRas.getPixels(0, 0, width, 1, (int[])null); byte[] rowSamples = new byte[rowLength]; // Output every (sourceYSubsampling)^th row for (int y = 0; y < height; y += sourceYSubsampling) { imRas.getPixels(0, y, width, 1, rowPixels); // Subsample horizontally and convert to bytes int count = 0; for (int x = 0; x < width; x += xSkip) { if (colorType == MyFormatImageReader.COLOR_TYPE_GRAY) { rowSamples[count++] = (byte)rowPixels[x]; } else { rowSamples[count++] = (byte)rowPixels[x]; rowSamples[count++] = (byte)rowPixels[x + 1]; rowSamples[count++] = (byte)rowPixels[x + 2]; } } // Output a row's worth of bytes stream.write(rowSamples, 0, width*numBands); } stream.flush(); } catch (IOException e) { throw new IIOException("I/O error!", e); } } }
