| A package of the Java Image I/O API dealing with low-level I/O from |
| files and streams. |
| |
| <p> |
| |
| The <code>ImageInputStream</code> interface unifies streaming and |
| file-based operations. An abstract base class, |
| <code>ImageInputStreamImpl</code> is provided to simplify writing |
| a new <code>ImageInputStream</code> class. Concrete implementation |
| classes (<code>FileImageInputStream</code>, |
| <code>FileCacheImageInputStream</code>, and |
| <code>MemoryCacheImageInputStream</code>) are provided that allow |
| input to come from a <code>File</code> or <code>InputStream</code> |
| with or without the use of a temporary cache file. |
| |
| <p> |
| |
| The <code>ImageOutputStream</code> interface performs an analogous |
| function for output. An abstract base class, |
| <code>ImageOutputStreamImpl</code> is provided, along with |
| concrete implementation classes (<code>FileImageOutputStream</code>, |
| <code>FileCacheImageOutputStream</code>, and |
| <code>MemoryCacheImageOutputStream</code>) are provided that allow |
| output to go to a <code>File</code> or <code>OutputStream</code> with |
| or without the use of a temporary cache file. |
| |
| <p> |
| |
| The <code>IIOByteBuffer</code> class provides an alternative way to |
| perform reads of sequences of bytes that reduces the amount of |
| internal data copying. |
