Interface ImageOutputStream

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, Closeable, DataInput, DataOutput, ImageInputStream

All Known Implementing Classes:

FileCacheImageOutputStream, FileImageOutputStream, ImageOutputStreamImpl, MemoryCacheImageOutputStream

public interface ImageOutputStream
extends ImageInputStream, DataOutput

A seekable output stream interface for use by ImageWriters. Various output destinations, such as OutputStreams and Files, as well as future fast I/O destinations may be "wrapped" by a suitable implementation of this interface for use by the Image I/O API.

Unlike a standard OutputStream, ImageOutputStream extends its counterpart, ImageInputStream. Thus it is possible to read from the stream as it is being written. The same seek and flush positions apply to both reading and writing, although the semantics for dealing with a non-zero bit offset before a byte-aligned write are necessarily different from the semantics for dealing with a non-zero bit offset before a byte-aligned read. When reading bytes, any bit offset is set to 0 before the read; when writing bytes, a non-zero bit offset causes the remaining bits in the byte to be written as 0s. The byte-aligned write then starts at the next byte position.

Method Details

write

void write(int b) throws IOException

Writes a single byte to the stream at the current position. The 24 high-order bits of b are ignored.

If the bit offset within the stream is non-zero, the remainder of the current byte is padded with 0s and written out first. The bit offset will be 0 after the write. Implementers can use the flushBits method of ImageOutputStreamImpl to guarantee this.

Specified by:

write in interface DataOutput

Parameters:

b - an int whose lower 8 bits are to be written.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

write

void write(byte[] b) throws IOException

Writes a sequence of bytes to the stream at the current position. If b.length is 0, nothing is written. The byte b[0] is written first, then the byte b[1], and so on.

If the bit offset within the stream is non-zero, the remainder of the current byte is padded with 0s and written out first. The bit offset will be 0 after the write.

Specified by:

write in interface DataOutput

Parameters:

b - an array of bytes to be written.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if b is null.

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

write

void write(byte[] b, int off, int len) throws IOException

Writes a sequence of bytes to the stream at the current position. If len is 0, nothing is written. The byte b[off] is written first, then the byte b[off + 1], and so on.

If the bit offset within the stream is non-zero, the remainder of the current byte is padded with 0s and written out first. The bit offset will be 0 after the write. Implementers can use the flushBits method of ImageOutputStreamImpl to guarantee this.

Specified by:

write in interface DataOutput

Parameters:

b - an array of bytes to be written.

off - the start offset in the data.

len - the number of bytes to write.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if off is negative, len is negative, or off + len is greater than b.length.

NullPointerException - if b is null.

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

writeBoolean

void writeBoolean(boolean v) throws IOException

Writes a boolean value to the stream. If v is true, the value (byte)1 is written; if v is false, the value (byte)0 is written.

If the bit offset within the stream is non-zero, the remainder of the current byte is padded with 0s and written out first. The bit offset will be 0 after the write.

Specified by:

writeBoolean in interface DataOutput

Parameters:

v - the boolean to be written.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

writeByte

void writeByte(int v) throws IOException

Writes the 8 low-order bits of v to the stream. The 24 high-order bits of v are ignored. (This means that writeByte does exactly the same thing as write for an integer argument.)

If the bit offset within the stream is non-zero, the remainder of the current byte is padded with 0s and written out first. The bit offset will be 0 after the write.

Specified by:

writeByte in interface DataOutput

Parameters:

v - an int containing the byte value to be written.

 (byte)(v & 0xff)
 

Otherwise, the bytes written will be:

 (byte)(v & 0xff)
 (byte)((v >> 8) & 0xff)

 (byte)((v >> 16) & 0xff)
 (byte)((v >> 8) & 0xff)
 (byte)(v & 0xff)
 

Otheriwse, the bytes written will be:

 (byte)(v & 0xff)
 (byte)((v >> 8) & 0xff)
 (byte)((v >> 16) & 0xff)
 (byte)((v >> 24) & 0xff)

Parameters:

v - a long containing the value to be written.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

writeFloat

void writeFloat(float v) throws IOException

Writes a float value, which is comprised of four bytes, to the output stream. It does this as if it first converts this float value to an int in exactly the manner of the Float.floatToIntBits method and then writes the int value in exactly the manner of the writeInt method.

If the bit offset within the stream is non-zero, the remainder of the current byte is padded with 0s and written out first. The bit offset will be 0 after the write.

Specified by:

writeFloat in interface DataOutput

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

writeDouble

void writeDouble(double v) throws IOException

Writes a double value, which is comprised of four bytes, to the output stream. It does this as if it first converts this double value to a long in exactly the manner of the Double.doubleToLongBits method and then writes the long value in exactly the manner of the writeLong method.

If the bit offset within the stream is non-zero, the remainder of the current byte is padded with 0s and written out first. The bit offset will be 0 after the write.

Specified by:

writeDouble in interface DataOutput

Parameters:

v - a double containing the value to be written.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

writeBytes

void writeBytes(String s) throws IOException

Writes a string to the output stream. For every character in the string s, taken in order, one byte is written to the output stream. If s is null, a NullPointerException is thrown.

If s.length is zero, then no bytes are written. Otherwise, the character s[0] is written first, then s[1], and so on; the last character written is s[s.length-1]. For each character, one byte is written, the low-order byte, in exactly the manner of the writeByte method. The high-order eight bits of each character in the string are ignored.

If the bit offset within the stream is non-zero, the remainder of the current byte is padded with 0s and written out first. The bit offset will be 0 after the write.

Specified by:

writeBytes in interface DataOutput

Parameters:

s - a String containing the value to be written.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if s is null.

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

writeChars

void writeChars(String s) throws IOException

Writes a string to the output stream. For every character in the string s, taken in order, two bytes are written to the output stream, ordered according to the current byte order setting. If network byte order is being used, the high-order byte is written first; the order is reversed otherwise. If s is null, a NullPointerException is thrown.

If s.length is zero, then no bytes are written. Otherwise, the character s[0] is written first, then s[1], and so on; the last character written is s[s.length-1].

If the bit offset within the stream is non-zero, the remainder of the current byte is padded with 0s and written out first. The bit offset will be 0 after the write.

Specified by:

writeChars in interface DataOutput

Parameters:

s - a String containing the value to be written.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if s is null.

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

writeUTF

void writeUTF(String s) throws IOException

Writes two bytes of length information to the output stream in network byte order, followed by the modified UTF-8 representation of every character in the string s. If s is null, a NullPointerException is thrown. Each character in the string s is converted to a group of one, two, or three bytes, depending on the value of the character.

If a character c is in the range \u0001 through \u007f, it is represented by one byte:

 (byte)c
 

If a character c is \u0000 or is in the range \u0080 through \u07ff, then it is represented by two bytes, to be written in the order shown:

 (byte)(0xc0 | (0x1f & (c >> 6)))
 (byte)(0x80 | (0x3f & c))
 

If a character c is in the range \u0800 through uffff, then it is represented by three bytes, to be written in the order shown:

 (byte)(0xe0 | (0x0f & (c >> 12)))
 (byte)(0x80 | (0x3f & (c >> 6)))
 (byte)(0x80 | (0x3f & c))
 

First, the total number of bytes needed to represent all the characters of s is calculated. If this number is larger than 65535, then a UTFDataFormatException is thrown. Otherwise, this length is written to the output stream in exactly the manner of the writeShort method; after this, the one-, two-, or three-byte representation of each character in the string s is written.

The current byte order setting is ignored.

If the bit offset within the stream is non-zero, the remainder of the current byte is padded with 0s and written out first. The bit offset will be 0 after the write.

Note: This method should not be used in the implementation of image formats that use standard UTF-8, because the modified UTF-8 used here is incompatible with standard UTF-8.

Specified by:

writeUTF in interface DataOutput

Parameters:

s - a String containing the value to be written.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if s is null.

UTFDataFormatException - if the modified UTF-8 representation of s requires more than 65536 bytes.

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

writeShorts

void writeShorts(short[] s, int off, int len) throws IOException

Writes a sequence of shorts to the stream at the current position. If len is 0, nothing is written. The short s[off] is written first, then the short s[off + 1], and so on. The byte order of the stream is used to determine the order in which the individual bytes are written.

If the bit offset within the stream is non-zero, the remainder of the current byte is padded with 0s and written out first. The bit offset will be 0 after the write.

Parameters:

s - an array of shorts to be written.

off - the start offset in the data.

len - the number of shorts to write.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if off is negative, len is negative, or off + len is greater than s.length.

NullPointerException - if s is null.

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

writeChars

void writeChars(char[] c, int off, int len) throws IOException

Writes a sequence of chars to the stream at the current position. If len is 0, nothing is written. The char c[off] is written first, then the char c[off + 1], and so on. The byte order of the stream is used to determine the order in which the individual bytes are written.

If the bit offset within the stream is non-zero, the remainder of the current byte is padded with 0s and written out first. The bit offset will be 0 after the write.

Parameters:

c - an array of chars to be written.

off - the start offset in the data.

len - the number of chars to write.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if off is negative, len is negative, or off + len is greater than c.length.
