## Uses of ImageTypeSpecifier in javax.imageio

Fields in javax.imageio declared as ImageTypeSpecifier
Modifier and Type
Field
Description
`protected ImageTypeSpecifier`
IIOParam.`destinationType`
An `ImageTypeSpecifier` to be used to generate a destination image when reading, or to set the output color type when writing.
Methods in javax.imageio that return ImageTypeSpecifier
Modifier and Type
Method
Description
`static ImageTypeSpecifier`
ImageTypeSpecifier.`createBanded​(ColorSpace colorSpace, int[] bankIndices, int[] bandOffsets, int dataType, boolean hasAlpha, boolean isAlphaPremultiplied)`
Returns a specifier for a banded image format that will use a `ComponentColorModel` and a `BandedSampleModel` to store each channel in a separate array.
`static ImageTypeSpecifier`
ImageTypeSpecifier.`createFromBufferedImageType​(int bufferedImageType)`
Returns an `ImageTypeSpecifier` that encodes one of the standard `BufferedImage` types (other than `TYPE_CUSTOM`).
`static ImageTypeSpecifier`
ImageTypeSpecifier.`createFromRenderedImage​(RenderedImage image)`
Returns an `ImageTypeSpecifier` that encodes the layout of a `RenderedImage` (which may be a `BufferedImage`).
`static ImageTypeSpecifier`
ImageTypeSpecifier.`createGrayscale​(int bits, int dataType, boolean isSigned)`
Returns a specifier for a grayscale image format that will pack pixels of the given bit depth into array elements of the specified data type.
`static ImageTypeSpecifier`
ImageTypeSpecifier.`createGrayscale​(int bits, int dataType, boolean isSigned, boolean isAlphaPremultiplied)`
Returns a specifier for a grayscale plus alpha image format that will pack pixels of the given bit depth into array elements of the specified data type.
`static ImageTypeSpecifier`
ImageTypeSpecifier.`createIndexed​(byte[] redLUT, byte[] greenLUT, byte[] blueLUT, byte[] alphaLUT, int bits, int dataType)`
Returns a specifier for an indexed-color image format that will pack index values of the given bit depth into array elements of the specified data type.
`static ImageTypeSpecifier`
ImageTypeSpecifier.`createInterleaved​(ColorSpace colorSpace, int[] bandOffsets, int dataType, boolean hasAlpha, boolean isAlphaPremultiplied)`
Returns a specifier for an interleaved image format that will use a `ComponentColorModel` and a `PixelInterleavedSampleModel` to store each pixel component in a separate byte, short, or int.
`static ImageTypeSpecifier`
ImageTypeSpecifier.`createPacked​(ColorSpace colorSpace, int redMask, int greenMask, int blueMask, int alphaMask, int transferType, boolean isAlphaPremultiplied)`
Returns a specifier for a packed image format that will use a `DirectColorModel` and a packed `SampleModel` to store each pixel packed into in a single byte, short, or int.
`ImageTypeSpecifier`
IIOParam.`getDestinationType()`
Returns the type of image to be returned by the read, if one was set by a call to `setDestination(ImageTypeSpecifier)`, as an `ImageTypeSpecifier`.
`ImageTypeSpecifier`
ImageReader.`getRawImageType​(int imageIndex)`
Returns an `ImageTypeSpecifier` indicating the `SampleModel` and `ColorModel` which most closely represents the "raw" internal format of the image.

Modifier and Type
Method
Description
`abstract Iterator<ImageTypeSpecifier>`

Returns an `Iterator` containing possible image types to which the given image may be decoded, in the form of `ImageTypeSpecifiers`s.
Methods in javax.imageio with parameters of type ImageTypeSpecifier
Modifier and Type
Method
Description
`IIOMetadata`
ImageTranscoder.`convertImageMetadata​(IIOMetadata inData, ImageTypeSpecifier imageType, ImageWriteParam param)`
Returns an `IIOMetadata` object that may be used for encoding and optionally modified using its document interfaces or other interfaces specific to the writer plug-in that will be used for encoding.
`abstract IIOMetadata`
ImageWriter.`getDefaultImageMetadata​(ImageTypeSpecifier imageType, ImageWriteParam param)`
Returns an `IIOMetadata` object containing default values for encoding an image of the given type.
`static Iterator<ImageWriter>`
ImageIO.`getImageWriters​(ImageTypeSpecifier type, String formatName)`
Returns an `Iterator` containing all currently registered `ImageWriter`s that claim to be able to encode images of the given layout (specified using an `ImageTypeSpecifier`) in the given format.
`int`
ImageWriter.`getNumThumbnailsSupported​(ImageTypeSpecifier imageType, ImageWriteParam param, IIOMetadata streamMetadata, IIOMetadata imageMetadata)`
Returns the number of thumbnails supported by the format being written, given the image type and any additional write parameters and metadata objects that will be used during encoding.
`Dimension[]`
ImageWriter.`getPreferredThumbnailSizes​(ImageTypeSpecifier imageType, ImageWriteParam param, IIOMetadata streamMetadata, IIOMetadata imageMetadata)`
Returns an array of `Dimension`s indicating the legal size ranges for thumbnail images as they will be encoded in the output file or stream.
`void`
ImageWriter.`prepareInsertEmpty​(int imageIndex, ImageTypeSpecifier imageType, int width, int height, IIOMetadata imageMetadata, List<? extends BufferedImage> thumbnails, ImageWriteParam param)`
Begins the insertion of a new image with undefined pixel values into an existing image stream.
