public class BufferedImage
extends Image
implements WritableRenderedImage, Transparency
The BufferedImage subclass describes an Image with an accessible buffer of image data. A BufferedImage is comprised of a ColorModel and a Raster of image data. The number and types of bands in the SampleModel of the Raster must match the number and types required by the ColorModel to represent its color and alpha components. All BufferedImage objects have an upper left corner coordinate of (0, 0). Any Raster used to construct a BufferedImage must therefore have minX=0 and minY=0.

This class relies on the data fetching and setting methods of Raster, and on the color characterization methods of ColorModel.

If the color model has 1 or 2 entries, the image will have 1 bit per pixel. If it has 3 or 4 entries, the image with have 2 bits per pixel. If it has between 5 and 16 entries, the image will have 4 bits per pixel. Otherwise, an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.

      Parameters:

      height - height of the created image
      imageType - type of the created image
      cm - IndexColorModel of the created image

    • BufferedImage

      public BufferedImage​(ColorModel cm, WritableRaster raster, boolean isRasterPremultiplied, Hashtable<?,​?> properties)

Properties for this BufferedImage can be established by passing in a Hashtable of String/Object pairs.
      Parameters:
      cm - ColorModel for the new image
      raster - Raster for the image data
      isRasterPremultiplied - if true, the data in the raster has been premultiplied with alpha.
      properties - Hashtable of String/Object pairs.
      Throws:
      RasterFormatException - if the number and types of bands in the SampleModel of the Raster do not match the number and types required by the ColorModel to represent its color and alpha components.

      public WritableRaster getAlphaRaster()
      Returns a WritableRaster representing the alpha channel for BufferedImage objects with ColorModel objects that support a separate spatial alpha channel, such as ComponentColorModel and DirectColorModel. Returns null if there is no alpha channel associated with the ColorModel in this image. This method assumes that for all ColorModel objects other than IndexColorModel, if the ColorModel supports alpha, there is a separate alpha channel which is stored as the last band of image data.

There are only 8-bits of precision for each color component in the returned data when using this method.

      An ArrayOutOfBoundsException may be thrown if the coordinates are not in bounds. However, explicit bounds checking is not guaranteed.
