ImageWorker (Geotools modules 23-SNAPSHOT API)

Object
- ImageWorker

```
public class ImageWorker
extends Object
```
Helper methods for applying JAI operations on an image. The image is specified at creation time. Successive operations can be applied by invoking the methods defined in this class, and the final image can be obtained by invoking getRenderedImage() at the end of the process.
If an exception is thrown during a method invocation, then this ImageWorker is left in an undetermined state and should not be used anymore.

  - removeRenderingHints
```
public final ImageWorker removeRenderingHints()
```
  - removeRenderingHint
```
public final ImageWorker removeRenderingHint(RenderingHints.Key key)
```
    Removes a rendering hint. Note that invoking this method is not the same than invoking setRenderingHint(key, null). This is especially true for the tile cache hint:
    - setRenderingHint(JAI.KEY_TILE_CACHE, null) disables the use of any tile cache. In other words, this method call do request a tile cache, which happen to be the "null" cache.
    - removeRenderingHint(JAI.KEY_TILE_CACHE) unsets any tile cache specified by a previous rendering hint. All images to be computed after this method call will save their tiles in the JAI default tile cache.
    Returns:
    
    This ImageWorker
  - getRenderingHints
```
public final RenderingHints getRenderingHints()
```
    Returns the rendering hints for an image to be computed by this class. The default implementation returns the following hints:
    - An image layout with tiles size computed automatically from the current image size.
    - Any additional hints specified through the setRenderingHint(java.awt.RenderingHints.Key, java.lang.Object) method. If the user provided explicitly a JAI.KEY_IMAGE_LAYOUT , then the user layout has precedence over the automatic layout computed in previous step.
    Returns:
    
    The rendering hints to use for image computation (never null).
  - tileCacheEnabled
```
public final ImageWorker tileCacheEnabled(boolean status)
```
    If false, disables the tile cache. Invoking this method with value true cancel the last invocation with value false. If this method was invoking many time with value false, then this method must be invoked the same amount of time with the value true for reenabling the cache.
    Note: This method name doesn't contain the usual set prefix because it doesn't really set a flag. Instead it increments or decrements a counter.
    
    Returns:
    
    This ImageWorker

  - forceIndexColorModel
```
public final ImageWorker forceIndexColorModel(boolean error)
```
    Reduces the color model to index color model. If the current image already uses an index color model, then this method do nothing. Otherwise, the current implementation performs a ditering on the original color model. Note that this operation loose the alpha channel.
    This for the moment should work only with opaque images, with non opaque images we just remove the alpha band in order to build an IndexColorModel. This is one because in general it could be very difficult to decide the final transparency for each pixel given the complexity if the algorithms for obtaining an IndexColorModel.
    If an IndexColorModel with a single transparency index is enough for you, we advise you to take a look at forceIndexColorModelForGIF(boolean) methdo.

```
public final ImageWorker forceIndexColorModelForGIF(boolean errorDiffusion)
```
    Converts the image to a GIF-compliant image. This method has been created in order to convert the input image to a form that is compatible with the GIF model. It first remove the information about transparency since the error diffusion and the error dither operations are unable to process images with more than 3 bands. Afterwards the image is processed with an error diffusion operator in order to reduce the number of bands from 3 to 1 and the number of color to 216. A suitable layout is used for the final image via the rendering hints in order to take into account the different layout model for the final image.
    Tip: For optimizing writing GIF, we need to create the image untiled. This can be done by invoking setRenderingHint(TILING_ALLOWED, Boolean.FALSE) first.
    
    Parameters:
    
    errorDiffusion - Tells if I should use ErrorDiffusionDescriptor or OrderedDitherDescriptor JAi operations.
    
    Returns:
    
    this ImageWorker.

                                                  boolean omitAlphaOnExpand)
```
    Reformats the color model to a component color model preserving transparency. This is used especially in order to go from PackedColorModel to ComponentColorModel, which seems to be well accepted from PNGEncoder and TIFFEncoder. The omitAlphaOnExpand param allows to explicity avoid producing an alpha band when expanding an IndexColorModel to ComponentColorModel. This may be useful when preparing an Image for JPEG encoding which do not support alpha band, avoiding the need of a BandSelect right after the color expansion. Note that this flag has only effect when expanding from IndexColorModel so alpha is preserved if input colorModel is already a ComponentColorModel.

```
    Applies the specified mask over the current image. The mask should be binarized - if it is not, this method will do it itself. Then, for every pixels in the mask with value equals to maskValue, the corresponding pixel in the image will be set to the specified newValue.

Then for all pixels with the value false in the specified transparency mask, the corresponding pixel in the image is set to that transparent value. All other pixels are left unchanged.
    
    Parameters:
    
    alphaChannel - The mask to apply as a binarized image.
    
    translucent - true if translucent images are allowed, or false if the resulting images must be a bitmask.
    
    transparent - The value for transparent pixels, to be given to every pixels in the image corresponding to false in the mask. The special value -1 maps to the last pixel value allowed for the indexed color model.
    
    errorDiffusion - Tells if I should use ErrorDiffusionDescriptor or OrderedDitherDescriptor JAi operations.
    
    Returns:
    
    this ImageWorker.
  - tile
```
public final ImageWorker tile()
```
    If the was not already tiled, tile it. Note that no tiling will be done if 'getRenderingHints()' failed to suggest a tile size. This method is for internal use by write(java.io.File) methods only.
    
    Returns:
    
    this ImageWorker.
  - applyOpacity
```
public ImageWorker applyOpacity(float opacity)
```
    Applies the specified opacity to the image by either adding an alpha band, or modifying the existing one by multiplication
    
    Parameters:
    
    opacity - The opacity to be applied, between 0 and 1
    
    Returns:
    
    this ImageWorker.
  - write
```
public final ImageWorker write(File output)
                        throws IOException
```
    Writes the image to the specified file. This method differs from ImageIO#write(String,File) in a number of ways:
    - The image writer to use is inferred from the file extension.
    - If the image writer accepts File objects as input, then the file argument is given directly without creating an ImageOutputStream object. This is important for some formats like HDF, which work only with files.
    - If the image is not tiled, then it is tiled prior to be written.
    - If some special processing is needed for a given format, then the corresponding method is invoked. Example: forceIndexColorModelForGIF(boolean).
    Returns:
    
    this ImageWorker.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException

    Parameters:
    
    destination - where to write the internal image as a PNG.
    
    compression - algorithm.
    
    compressionRate - percentage of compression.

    Parameters:
    
    destination - where to write the internal image as a gif.
    
    compression - The name of compression algorithm.
    
    compressionRate - percentage of compression, as a number between 0 and 1.
    
    Returns:
    
    this ImageWorker.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - In case an error occurs during the search for an ImageOutputStream or during the eoncding process.

public final ImageWorker show()
                       throws HeadlessException
```
    Shows the current image in a window together with the operation chain as a tree. This method is provided mostly for debugging purpose. This method requires the gt2-widgets-swing.jar file in the classpath.
    
    Returns:
    
    this ImageWorker.
    
    Throws:
    
    HeadlessException - if gt2-widgets-swing.jar is not on the classpath, or if AWT can't create the window components.
    
    See Also:
    
    org.geotools.gui.swing.image.OperationTreeBrowser#show(RenderedImage)
  - dispose
```
public final void dispose()
```
    Provides a hint that this ImageWorker will no longer be accessed from a reference in user space. The results are equivalent to those that occur when the program loses its last reference to this image, the garbage collector discovers this, and finalize is called. This can be used as a hint in situations where waiting for garbage collection would be overly conservative.
    Mind, this also results in disposing the JAI Image chain attached to the image the worker is applied to, so don't call this method on image changes (full/partial) that you want to use.
    ImageWorker defines this method to remove the image being disposed from the list of sinks in all of its source images. The results of referencing an ImageWorker after a call to dispose() are undefined.
  - main
```
public static void main(String[] args)
```
    Loads the image from the specified file, and display it in a window. This method is mostly as a convenient way to test operation chains. This method can be invoked from the command line. If an optional -operation argument is provided, the Java method (one of the image operations provided in this class) immediately following it is executed. Example:
    java org.geotools.image.ImageWorker -operation binarize <var><filename></var>
