public abstract class ImageTranscoder
extends SVGAbstractTranscoder

This class enables to transcode an input to an image of any format.

Two transcoding hints (KEY_WIDTH and KEY_HEIGHT) can be used to respectively specify the image width and the image height. If only one of these keys is specified, the transcoder preserves the aspect ratio of the original image.

The KEY_BACKGROUND_COLOR defines the background color to use for opaque image formats, or the background color that may be used for image formats that support alpha channel.

The KEY_AOI represents the area of interest to paint in device space.

Three additional transcoding hints that act on the SVG processor can be specified:

KEY_LANGUAGE to set the default language to use (may be used by a <switch> SVG element for example), KEY_USER_STYLESHEET_URI to fix the URI of a user stylesheet, and KEY_MM_PER_PIXEL to specify the number of millimeters in each pixel .

KEY_BACKGROUND_COLOR

public static final TranscodingHints.Key KEY_BACKGROUND_COLOR

The image background paint key.

Key:	KEY_BACKGROUND_COLOR
Value:	Paint
Default:	null
Required:	No
Description:	Specify the background color to use. The color is required by opaque image formats and is used by image formats that support alpha channel.

KEY_FORCE_TRANSPARENT_WHITE

public static final TranscodingHints.Key KEY_FORCE_TRANSPARENT_WHITE

The forceTransparentWhite key.

Key:	KEY_FORCE_TRANSPARENT_WHITE
Value:	Boolean
Default:	false
Required:	No
Description:	It controls whether the encoder should force the image's fully transparent pixels to be fully transparent white instead of fully transparent black. This is useful when the encoded file is displayed in a browser which does not support transparency correctly and lets the image display with a white background instead of a black background. However, note that the modified image will display differently over a white background in a viewer that supports transparency. Not all Transcoders use this key (in particular some formats can't preserve the alpha channel at all in which case this is not used).

ImageTranscoder

protected ImageTranscoder()

Constructs a new ImageTranscoder.

transcode

protected void transcode(Document document,
                         String uri,
                         TranscoderOutput output)
                  throws TranscoderException

Transcodes the specified Document as an image in the specified output.

Overrides:

transcode in class SVGAbstractTranscoder

Parameters:

document - the document to transcode

uri - the uri of the document or null if any

output - the ouput where to transcode

Throws:

TranscoderException - if an error occured while transcoding

createRenderer

protected ImageRenderer createRenderer()

Method so subclasses can modify the Renderer used to render document.

forceTransparentWhite

protected void forceTransparentWhite(BufferedImage img,
                                     SinglePixelPackedSampleModel sppsm)

Converts an image so that viewers which do not support the alpha channel will see a white background (and not a black one).

Parameters:

img - the image to convert

sppsm -

createImage

public abstract BufferedImage createImage(int width,
                                          int height)

Creates a new image with the specified dimension.

Parameters:

width - the image width in pixels

height - the image height in pixels

writeImage

public abstract void writeImage(BufferedImage img,
                                TranscoderOutput output)
                         throws TranscoderException

Writes the specified image to the specified output.

Parameters:

img - the image to write

output - the output where to store the image

Throws:

TranscoderException - if an error occured while storing the image
