All Implemented Interfaces:

ImageConsumer

public class PixelGrabber

extends Object

implements ImageConsumer

The PixelGrabber class implements an ImageConsumer which can be attached to an Image or ImageProducer object to retrieve a subset of the pixels in that image. Here is an example:

 public void handlesinglepixel(int x, int y, int pixel) {
	int alpha = (pixel >> 24) & 0xff;
	int red   = (pixel >> 16) & 0xff;
	int green = (pixel >>  8) & 0xff;
	int blue  = (pixel      ) & 0xff;
	// Deal with the pixel as necessary...
 }

 public void handlepixels(Image img, int x, int y, int w, int h) {
	int[] pixels = new int[w * h];
	PixelGrabber pg = new PixelGrabber(img, x, y, w, h, pixels, 0, w);
	try {
	    pg.grabPixels();
	} catch (InterruptedException e) {
	    System.err.println("interrupted waiting for pixels!");
	    return;
	}
	if ((pg.getStatus() & ImageObserver.ABORT) != 0) {
	    System.err.println("image fetch aborted or errored");
	    return;
	}
	for (int j = 0; j < h; j++) {
	    for (int i = 0; i < w; i++) {
		handlesinglepixel(x+i, y+j, pixels[j * w + i]);
	    }
	}
 }

PixelGrabber

public PixelGrabber(Image img,
                    int x,

                    int off,
                    int scansize)

Create a PixelGrabber object to grab the (x, y, w, h) rectangular section of pixels from the specified image into the given array. The pixels are stored into the array in the default RGB ColorModel. The RGB data for pixel (i, j) where (i, j) is inside the rectangle (x, y, w, h) is stored in the array at pix[(j - y) * scansize + (i - x) + off].

Parameters:

img - the image to retrieve pixels from

x - the x coordinate of the upper left corner of the rectangle of pixels to retrieve from the image, relative to the default (unscaled) size of the image

y - the y coordinate of the upper left corner of the rectangle of pixels to retrieve from the image

w - the width of the rectangle of pixels to retrieve

h - the height of the rectangle of pixels to retrieve

pix - the array of integers which are to be used to hold the RGB pixels retrieved from the image

off - the offset into the array of where to store the first pixel

scansize - the distance from one row of pixels to the next in the array

PixelGrabber

public PixelGrabber(ImageProducer ip,
                    int x,
                    int y,
                    int w,

                    int off,
                    int scansize)

Create a PixelGrabber object to grab the (x, y, w, h) rectangular section of pixels from the image produced by the specified ImageProducer into the given array. The pixels are stored into the array in the default RGB ColorModel. The RGB data for pixel (i, j) where (i, j) is inside the rectangle (x, y, w, h) is stored in the array at pix[(j - y) * scansize + (i - x) + off].

Parameters:

img - the image to retrieve pixels from

x - the x coordinate of the upper left corner of the rectangle of pixels to retrieve from the image, relative to the default (unscaled) size of the image

y - the y coordinate of the upper left corner of the rectangle of pixels to retrieve from the image

w - the width of the rectangle of pixels to retrieve

h - the height of the rectangle of pixels to retrieve

PixelGrabber

public PixelGrabber(Image img,
                    int x,
                    int y,
                    int w,
                    int h,
                    boolean forceRGB)

Create a PixelGrabber object to grab the (x, y, w, h) rectangular section of pixels from the specified image. The pixels are accumulated in the original ColorModel if the same ColorModel is used for every call to setPixels, otherwise the pixels are accumulated in the default RGB ColorModel. If the forceRGB parameter is true, then the pixels will be accumulated in the default RGB ColorModel anyway. A buffer is allocated by the PixelGrabber to hold the pixels in either case. If (w < 0) or (h < 0), then they will default to the remaining width and height of the source data when that information is delivered.

Parameters:

img - the image to retrieve the image data from

x - the x coordinate of the upper left corner of the rectangle of pixels to retrieve from the image, relative to the default (unscaled) size of the image

y - the y coordinate of the upper left corner of the rectangle of pixels to retrieve from the image

w - the width of the rectangle of pixels to retrieve

h - the height of the rectangle of pixels to retrieve

forceRGB - true if the pixels should always be converted to the default RGB ColorModel

Method Detail

startGrabbing

public void startGrabbing()

Request the PixelGrabber to start fetching the pixels.

abortGrabbing

public void abortGrabbing()

Request the PixelGrabber to abort the image fetch.

grabPixels

public boolean grabPixels()
                   throws InterruptedException

Request the Image or ImageProducer to start delivering pixels and wait for all of the pixels in the rectangle of interest to be delivered.

Returns:

true if the pixels were successfully grabbed, false on abort, error or timeout

Throws:

InterruptedException - Another thread has interrupted this thread.

grabPixels

public boolean grabPixels(long ms)
                   throws InterruptedException

Request the Image or ImageProducer to start delivering pixels and wait for all of the pixels in the rectangle of interest to be delivered or until the specified timeout has elapsed. This method behaves in the following ways, depending on the value of ms:

• If ms == 0, waits until all pixels are delivered
• If ms > 0, waits until all pixels are delivered as timeout expires.
• If ms < 0, returns true if all pixels are grabbed, false otherwise and does not wait.

Parameters:

ms - the number of milliseconds to wait for the image pixels to arrive before timing out

Returns:

true if the pixels were successfully grabbed, false on abort, error or timeout

Throws:

InterruptedException - Another thread has interrupted this thread.

getStatus

public int getStatus()

Return the status of the pixels. The ImageObserver flags representing the available pixel information are returned.

Returns:

the bitwise OR of all relevant ImageObserver flags

See Also:

ImageObserver

getWidth

public int getWidth()

Get the width of the pixel buffer (after adjusting for image width). If no width was specified for the rectangle of pixels to grab then then this information will only be available after the image has delivered the dimensions.

Returns:

the final width used for the pixel buffer or -1 if the width is not yet known

See Also:

getStatus()

getHeight

public int getHeight()

Get the height of the pixel buffer (after adjusting for image height). If no width was specified for the rectangle of pixels to grab then then this information will only be available after the image has delivered the dimensions.

Returns:

the final height used for the pixel buffer or -1 if the height is not yet known

See Also:

getStatus()

getPixels

public Object getPixels()

Get the pixel buffer. If the PixelGrabber was not constructed with an explicit pixel buffer to hold the pixels then this method will return null until the size and format of the image data is known. Since the PixelGrabber may fall back on accumulating the data in the default RGB ColorModel at any time if the source image uses more than one ColorModel to deliver the data, the array object returned by this method may change over time until the image grab is complete.

Returns:

either a byte array or an int array

See Also:

getStatus()

getColorModel

public ColorModel getColorModel()

Get the ColorModel for the pixels stored in the array. If the PixelGrabber was constructed with an explicit pixel buffer then this method will always return the default RGB ColorModel, otherwise it may return null until the ColorModel used by the ImageProducer is known. Since the PixelGrabber may fall back on accumulating the data in the default RGB ColorModel at any time if the source image uses more than one ColorModel to deliver the data, the ColorModel object returned by this method may change over time until the image grab is complete and may not reflect any of the ColorModel objects that was used by the ImageProducer to deliver the pixels.

Returns:

the ColorModel object used for storing the pixels

getStatus(), ColorModel.getRGBdefault()
