Constructor Details

ImageOutputStreamSpi

protected ImageOutputStreamSpi()
Constructs a service provider for image output streams, given no parameters. It is up to the sub-class to set IIOServiceProvider.vendorName, IIOServiceProvider.version and outputClass to non-null values.

ImageOutputStreamSpi

public ImageOutputStreamSpi(String vendorName,
                            String version,
                            Class outputClass)
Constructs a service provider for image output streams, given the vendor name, a version string and the kind of producable output.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if vendorName or version is null.

Method Details

canUseCacheFile

public boolean canUseCacheFile()
Determines whether ImageOutputStreams created by this service provider benefit from using a cache file.

The default behavior is to return false.

Returns:
true if the created streams are faster or need less memory when a cache file is being used; false if no positive effect results from the cache file.

createOutputStreamInstance

public ImageOutputStream createOutputStreamInstance(Object output)
            throws IOException

createOutputStreamInstance

public abstract ImageOutputStream createOutputStreamInstance(Object output,
                                                             boolean useCache,
                                                             File cacheDir)
            throws IOException

getOutputClass

public Class getOutputClass()
Determines which kind of output is produced by the streams created by createOutputStreamInstance(Object).

needsCacheFile

public boolean needsCacheFile()
Determines whether ImageOutputStreams created by this service provider require the use of a cache file.

The default behavior is to return false.

Returns:
true if the created streams can only work when a cache file is being used; false if no cache file is needed.
