Subclasses of ImageFilter in java.awt.image
Modifier and Type | Class | Description
--- | --- | ---
`class` | `AreaAveragingScaleFilter` | An ImageFilter class for scaling images using a simple area averaging algorithm that produces smoother results than the nearest neighbor algorithm.
`class` | `BufferedImageFilter` | The `BufferedImageFilter` class subclasses an `ImageFilter` to provide a simple means of using a single-source/single-destination image operator (`BufferedImageOp`) to filter a `BufferedImage` in the Image Producer/Consumer/Observer paradigm.
`class` | `CropImageFilter` | An ImageFilter class for cropping images.
`class` | `ReplicateScaleFilter` | An ImageFilter class for scaling images using the simplest algorithm.
`class` | `RGBImageFilter` | This class provides an easy way to create an ImageFilter which modifies the pixels of an image in the default RGB ColorModel.
