[java] Details of the ImageProducer

Niels · 2000-01-21T05:23:29

I do have a question that has been nagging me for a while: I rely extensively on the Image/ImageProducer/PixelGrabber classes in my Java code, and have so far treated them as very convenient in/output of 32-bit pixel data (ARGB) knowing that obviously "someone" converts these data to 16, 24 or whatever bitdepth/byteordering the actual display have when I display the images. I have been unable to find any in-depth information about this process - I am trying to squeeze as much out of my core graphics code as possible, and I feel this is a place I''ve been neglecting. Does anyone know if it is any use to create specific code for, say, 16-bit if thats the current display depth? Also, any references to hard-core java graphics programming sites/books would be appreciated, thanxx. /Niels

Oh, sorry!

Jim said he couldn''t imagine any *plugin* that didn''t support JFC. If, by plugin, he means the one from Sun - then that requires just as much download and installation as the SDK itself, and is thus just as useless.

Cool. Talking about the plugin, I was surprised to see that intellicast.com (their American time zone applet) somehow got Swing to work without the plugin. I asked them how they did it, but haven''t gotten a response

I heard someone say that it is now legal to distribute part of swing (The original license agreement required you to redistribute the full (12meg??) package) - if they are only using a small subset of the swing package, they could simply include those classes in their .jar...
