public class IndexColorModel
extends ColorModel

The IndexColorModel class is a ColorModel class that works with pixel values consisting of a single sample that is an index into a fixed colormap in the default sRGB color space. The colormap specifies red, green, blue, and optional alpha components corresponding to each index. All components are represented in the colormap as 8-bit unsigned integral values. Some constructors allow the caller to specify "holes" in the colormap by indicating which colormap entries are valid and which represent unusable colors via the bits set in a BigInteger object. This color model is similar to an X11 PseudoColor visual.

Some constructors provide a means to specify an alpha component for each pixel in the colormap, while others either provide no such means or, in some cases, a flag to indicate whether the colormap data contains alpha values. If no alpha is supplied to the constructor, an opaque alpha component (alpha = 1.0) is assumed for each entry. An optional transparent pixel value can be supplied that indicates a pixel to be made completely transparent, regardless of any alpha component supplied or assumed for that pixel value. Note that the color components in the colormap of an IndexColorModel objects are never pre-multiplied with the alpha components.

The transparency of an IndexColorModel object is determined by examining the alpha components of the colors in the colormap and choosing the most specific value after considering the optional alpha values and any transparent index specified. The transparency value is Transparency.OPAQUE only if all valid colors in the colormap are opaque and there is no valid transparent pixel. If all valid colors in the colormap are either completely opaque (alpha = 1.0) or completely transparent (alpha = 0.0), which typically occurs when a valid transparent pixel is specified, the value is Transparency.BITMASK. Otherwise, the value is Transparency.TRANSLUCENT, indicating that some valid color has an alpha component that is neither completely transparent nor completely opaque (0.0 < alpha < 1.0).

If an IndexColorModel object has a transparency value of Transparency.OPAQUE, then the hasAlpha and getNumComponents methods (both inherited from ColorModel) return false and 3, respectively. For any other transparency value, hasAlpha returns true and getNumComponents returns 4.

The values used to index into the colormap are taken from the least significant n bits of pixel representations where n is based on the pixel size specified in the constructor. For pixel sizes smaller than 8 bits, n is rounded up to a power of two (3 becomes 4 and 5,6,7 become 8). For pixel sizes between 8 and 16 bits, n is equal to the pixel size. Pixel sizes larger than 16 bits are not supported by this class. Higher order bits beyond n are ignored in pixel representations. Index values greater than or equal to the map size, but less than 2n, are undefined and return 0 for all color and alpha components.

For those methods that use a primitive array pixel representation of type transferType, the array length is always one. The transfer types supported are DataBuffer.TYPE_BYTE and DataBuffer.TYPE_USHORT. A single int pixel representation is valid for all objects of this class, since it is always possible to represent pixel values used with this class in a single int. Therefore, methods that use this representation do not throw an IllegalArgumentException due to an invalid pixel value.

Many of the methods in this class are final. The reason for this is that the underlying native graphics code makes assumptions about the layout and operation of this class and those assumptions are reflected in the implementations of the methods here that are marked final. You can subclass this class for other reasons, but you cannot override or modify the behaviour of those methods.

                          int offset)
Returns a pixel value represented as an int in this ColorModel given an array of unnormalized color/alpha components. An ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown if the components array is not large enough to hold all of the color and alpha components starting at offset. Since ColorModel can be subclassed, subclasses inherit the implementation of this method and if they don't override it then they throw an exception if they use an unsupported transferType.

Overrides:
getDataElement in class ColorModel
Parameters:
components - an array of unnormalized color and alpha components
offset - the index into components at which to begin retrieving the color and alpha components
Returns:
an int pixel value in this ColorModel corresponding to the specified components.
Throws:
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if the components array is not large enough to hold all of the color and alpha components starting at offset
UnsupportedOperationException - if transferType is invalid

getDataElements

public Object getDataElements(int[] components,
                              int offset,
                              Object pixel)
Returns a data element array representation of a pixel in this ColorModel given an array of unnormalized color/alpha components. This array can then be passed to the setDataElements method of a WritableRaster object. An ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown if the components array is not large enough to hold all of the color and alpha components starting at offset. If the pixel variable is null, a new array is allocated. If pixel is not null, it must be a primitive array of type transferType; otherwise, a ClassCastException is thrown. An ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown if pixel is not large enough to hold a pixel value for this ColorModel.

Since IndexColorModel can be subclassed, subclasses inherit the implementation of this method and if they don't override it then they throw an exception if they use an unsupported transferType

Overrides:
getDataElements in class ColorModel
Parameters:
components - an array of unnormalized color and alpha components
offset - the index into components at which to begin retrieving color and alpha components
pixel - the Object representing an array of color and alpha components
Returns:
an Object representing an array of color and alpha components.
Throws:
ClassCastException - if pixel is not a primitive array of type transferType
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if pixel is not large enough to hold a pixel value for this ColorModel or the components array is not large enough to hold all of the color and alpha components starting at offset
UnsupportedOperationException - if transferType is not one of the supported transer types

createCompatibleWritableRaster

public WritableRaster createCompatibleWritableRaster(int w,
                                                     int h)
Creates a WritableRaster with the specified width and height that has a data layout (SampleModel) compatible with this ColorModel. This method only works for color models with 16 or fewer bits per pixel.

Since IndexColorModel can be subclassed, any subclass that supports greater than 16 bits per pixel must override this method.

Overrides:
createCompatibleWritableRaster in class ColorModel
Parameters:
w - the width to apply to the new WritableRaster
h - the height to apply to the new WritableRaster
Returns:
a WritableRaster object with the specified width and height.
Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException - if the number of bits in a pixel is greater than 16

WritableRaster, SampleModel

isCompatibleRaster

public boolean isCompatibleRaster(Raster raster)
Returns true if raster is compatible with this ColorModel or false if it is not compatible with this ColorModel.

Overrides:
isCompatibleRaster in class ColorModel
Parameters:
raster - the Raster object to test for compatibility
Returns:
true if raster is compatible with this ColorModel; false otherwise.

createCompatibleSampleModel

public SampleModel createCompatibleSampleModel(int w,
                                               int h)
Creates a SampleModel with the specified width and height that has a data layout compatible with this ColorModel.

Overrides:
createCompatibleSampleModel in class ColorModel
Parameters:
w - the width to apply to the new SampleModel
h - the height to apply to the new SampleModel
Returns:
a SampleModel object with the specified width and height.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if w or h is not greater than 0
See Also:
SampleModel

isCompatibleSampleModel

public boolean isCompatibleSampleModel(SampleModel sm)
Checks if the specified SampleModel is compatible with this ColorModel. If sm is null, this method returns false.

Overrides:
isCompatibleSampleModel in class ColorModel
Parameters:
sm - the specified SampleModel, or null
Returns:
true if the specified SampleModel is compatible with this ColorModel; false otherwise.

SampleModel

convertToIntDiscrete

public BufferedImage convertToIntDiscrete(Raster raster,
                                          boolean forceARGB)
Returns a new BufferedImage of TYPE_INT_ARGB or TYPE_INT_RGB that has a Raster with pixel data computed by expanding the indices in the source Raster using the color/alpha component arrays of this ColorModel. Only the lower n bits of each index value in the source Raster, as specified in the class description above, are used to compute the color/alpha values in the returned image. If forceARGB is true, a TYPE_INT_ARGB image is returned regardless of whether or not this ColorModel has an alpha component array or a transparent pixel.

Parameters:
raster - the specified Raster
forceARGB - if true, the returned BufferedImage is TYPE_INT_ARGB; otherwise it is TYPE_INT_RGB
Returns:
a BufferedImage created with the specified Raster
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the raster argument is not compatible with this IndexColorModel

isValid

public boolean isValid(int pixel)
Returns whether or not the pixel is valid.

Parameters:
pixel - the specified pixel value
Returns:
true if pixel is valid; false otherwise.
Since:
1.3

isValid

public boolean isValid()
Returns whether or not all of the pixels are valid.

Returns:
true if all pixels are valid; false otherwise.
Since:
1.3

getValidPixels

public BigInteger getValidPixels()
Returns a BigInteger that indicates the valid/invalid pixels in the colormap. A bit is valid if the BigInteger value at that index is set, and is invalid if the BigInteger value at that index is not set. The only valid ranges to query in the BigInteger are between 0 and the map size.

Returns:
a BigInteger indicating the valid/invalid pixels.
Since:
1.3

finalize

public void finalize()
Disposes of system resources associated with this ColorModel once this ColorModel is no longer referenced.

Overrides:
finalize in class ColorModel

toString

public String toString()
Returns the String representation of the contents of this ColorModelobject.

Overrides:
toString in class ColorModel
Returns:
a String representing the contents of this ColorModel object.
