| <body> |
| <p> |
| This package provides image input/output APIs. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The standard class library provides other ways of loading images (@see |
| java.awt.Toolkit, @see java.awt.Component)) but the ImageIO package is |
| more powerful. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The static ImageIO class supports reading and writing images in many |
| different formats along with most other basic image I/O operations. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Other classes provide finer control of image-related operations; |
| reading is controlled by ImageReader, ImageReadParam and |
| ImageTypeSpecifyer, writing by ImageWriter and ImageWriteParam. |
| ImageTranscoder allows fine-grained control over how images are |
| converted between formats and IIOException reports errors. IIOImage |
| describes an image file in detail including metadata and thumbnails. |
| </p> |
| <h2>Supported Formats</h2> |
| <p> |
| The default GNU Classpath ImageIO backend uses ImageMagick and so |
| supports the following formats: |
| <table> |
| <tr> |
| <th></th> <th>Read</th> <th>Write</th> |
| </tr> |
| <tr><td>JPEG</td><td>yes</td><td>yes</td></tr> |
| <tr><td>PNG</td><td>yes</td><td>yes</td></tr> |
| <tr><td>BMP</td><td>yes</td><td>yes</td></tr> |
| <tr><td>WBMP</td><td>yes</td><td>yes</td></tr> |
| <tr><td>GIF</td><td>yes</td><td>yes</td></tr> |
| <tr><td>TIFF</td><td>yes</td><td>yes</td></tr> |
| <tr><td>XPM</td><td>yes</td><td>yes</td></tr> |
| <tr><td>TGA</td><td>yes</td><td>yes</td></tr> |
| <tr><td>PDF</td><td>yes</td><td>no</td></tr> |
| <tr><td>SVG</td><td>yes</td><td>no</td></tr> |
