Method Detail

createImage

public static java.awt.Image createImage(java.lang.Class baseClass,
                                         java.lang.String resourceName)

createImage

public static java.awt.Image createImage(java.net.URL resource)

toBufferedImage

public static java.awt.image.BufferedImage toBufferedImage(java.awt.image.RenderedImage rImg)

Converts an Image to BufferedImage. If the Image is already a BufferedImage, the same image is returned.

Parameters:

rImg - An Image.

Returns:

A BufferedImage.

toBufferedImage

public static java.awt.image.BufferedImage toBufferedImage(java.awt.Image image)

hasAlpha

public static boolean hasAlpha(java.awt.Image image)

This method returns true if the specified image has transparent pixels Code taken from the Java Developers Almanac 1.4 http://javaalmanac.com/egs/java.awt.image/HasAlpha.html

split

public static java.awt.image.BufferedImage[] split(java.awt.Image image,
                                                   int count,
                                                   boolean isHorizontal)

Splits an image into count subimages.

getScaledInstance

public static java.awt.image.BufferedImage getScaledInstance(java.awt.Image image,
                                                             int width,
                                                             int height)

Creates a scaled instanceof the image.

If either width or height is a negative number then a value is s ubstituted to maintain the aspect ratio of the original image dimensions. If both width and height are negative, then the original image dimensions are used.

On Mac OS X 10.6, this method has a much better performance than BufferedImage.getScaledInstance.

Parameters:

image - the image.

width - the width to which to scale the image.

height - the height to which to scale the image.
