 public interface ImageProducerThe interface for objects which can produce the image data for Images. Each image contains an ImageProducer which is used to reconstruct the image whenever it is needed, for example, when a new size of the Image is scaled, or when the width or height of the Image is being requested.- See Also:

Method Detail- 
addConsumervoid addConsumer(ImageConsumer ic) Registers anImageConsumerwith theImageProducerfor access to the image data during a later reconstruction of theImage. TheImageProducermay, at its discretion, start delivering the image data to the consumer using theImageConsumerinterface immediately, or when the next available image reconstruction is triggered by a call to thestartProductionmethod.- Parameters:
- ic- the specified- ImageConsumer
- See Also:
- startProduction(java.awt.image.ImageConsumer)
 
 - 
isConsumerboolean isConsumer(ImageConsumer ic) Determines if a specifiedImageConsumerobject is currently registered with thisImageProduceras one of its consumers.- Parameters:
- ic- the specified- ImageConsumer
- Returns:
- trueif the specified- ImageConsumeris registered with this- ImageProducer;- falseotherwise.
 
 - 
removeConsumervoid removeConsumer(ImageConsumer ic) Removes the specifiedImageConsumerobject from the list of consumers currently registered to receive image data. It is not considered an error to remove a consumer that is not currently registered. TheImageProducershould stop sending data to this consumer as soon as is feasible.- Parameters:
- ic- the specified- ImageConsumer
 
 - 
startProductionvoid startProduction(ImageConsumer ic) Registers the specifiedImageConsumerobject as a consumer and starts an immediate reconstruction of the image data which will then be delivered to this consumer and any other consumer which might have already been registered with the producer. This method differs from the addConsumer method in that a reproduction of the image data should be triggered as soon as possible.- Parameters:
- ic- the specified- ImageConsumer
- See Also:
- addConsumer(java.awt.image.ImageConsumer)
 
 - 
requestTopDownLeftRightResendvoid requestTopDownLeftRightResend(ImageConsumer ic) Requests, on behalf of theImageConsumer, that theImageProducerattempt to resend the image data one more time in TOPDOWNLEFTRIGHT order so that higher quality conversion algorithms which depend on receiving pixels in order can be used to produce a better output version of the image. TheImageProduceris free to ignore this call if it cannot resend the data in that order. If the data can be resent, theImageProducershould respond by executing the following minimum set ofImageConsumermethod calls:ic.setHints(TOPDOWNLEFTRIGHT | < otherhints >); ic.setPixels(...); // As many times as needed ic.imageComplete();- Parameters:
- ic- the specified- ImageConsumer
- See Also:
- ImageConsumer.setHints(int)
