### Uses of ImageTypeSpecifier in javax.imageio

Fields in javax.imageio declared as ImageTypeSpecifier
Modifier and Type | Field and 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 and 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.

Methods in javax.imageio that return types with arguments of type ImageTypeSpecifier
Modifier and Type | Method and Description
--- | ---
`abstract Iterator<ImageTypeSpecifier>` | ImageReader.`getImageTypes(int imageIndex)` 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 and Description
--- | ---
`abstract IIOMetadata` | ImageWriter.`convertImageMetadata(IIOMetadata inData, ImageTypeSpecifier imageType, ImageWriteParam param)`
`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 suported 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.
`void` | ImageWriter.`prepareWriteEmpty(IIOMetadata streamMetadata, ImageTypeSpecifier imageType, int width, int height, IIOMetadata imageMetadata, List<? extends BufferedImage> thumbnails, ImageWriteParam param)` Begins the writing of a complete image stream, consisting of a single image with undefined pixel values and associated metadata and thumbnails, to the output.
`void` | ImageReadParam.`setDestinationType(ImageTypeSpecifier destinationType)`
`void` | IIOParam.`setDestinationType(ImageTypeSpecifier destinationType)` Sets the desired image type for the destination image, using an `ImageTypeSpecifier`.

`abstract boolean` | IIOMetadataFormatImpl.`canNodeAppear(String elementName, ImageTypeSpecifier imageType)`
`boolean` | IIOMetadataFormat.`canNodeAppear(String elementName, ImageTypeSpecifier imageType)` Returns `true` if the element (and the subtree below it) is allowed to appear in a metadata document for an image of the given type, defined by an `ImageTypeSpecifier`.
