Class ImageRaster

java.lang.Object
com.jme3.texture.image.ImageRaster
Direct Known Subclasses:
DefaultImageRaster, MipMapImageRaster
public abstract class ImageRaster extends Object
Utility class for reading and writing from jME3 images.
Allows directly manipulating pixels of the image by writing and reading colors at any coordinate, without regard to the underlying format of the image. NOTE: compressed and depth formats are not supported. Special RGB formats like RGB111110F and RGB9E5 are not supported at the moment, but may be added later on. For now use RGB16F_to_RGB111110F and RGB16F_to_RGB9E5 to handle the conversion on the GPU.

If direct manipulations are done to the image, such as replacing the image data, or changing the width, height, or format, then all current instances of ImageReadWrite become invalid, and new instances must be created in order to properly access the image data. Usage example:
Image myImage = ... ImageRaster raster = ImageRaster.create(myImage); raster.setPixel(1, 5, ColorRGBA.Green); System.out.println(raster.getPixel(1, 5)); // Will print [0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0].

    • create

      public static ImageRaster create(Image image, int slice, int mipMapLevel, boolean convertToLinear)
      Create new image reader / writer.
      Parameters:
      image - The image to read / write to.
      slice - Which slice to use. Only applies to 3D images, 2D image arrays or cubemaps.
      mipMapLevel - The mipmap level to read / write to. To access levels other than 0, the image must have mipmap sizes set.
      convertToLinear - If true, the application expects read or written colors to be in linear color space (ImageRaster will automatically perform a conversion as needed). If false, the application expects colors to be in the image's native color space.
      Returns:
      An ImageRaster to read / write to the image.

    • create

      public static ImageRaster create(Image image, int slice)
      Create new image reader / writer.
      Parameters:
      image - The image to read / write to.
      slice - Which slice to use. Only applies to 3D images, 2D image arrays or cubemaps.
      Returns:
      An ImageRaster to read / write to the image.

    • create

      public static ImageRaster create(Image image)
      Create new image reader / writer for 2D images.
      Parameters:
      image - The image to read / write to.
      Returns:
      An ImageRaster to read / write to the image.

    • getWidth

      public abstract int getWidth()
      Returns the pixel width of the underlying image.
      Returns:
      the pixel width of the underlying image.

    • getHeight

      public abstract int getHeight()
      Returns the pixel height of the underlying image.
      Returns:
      the pixel height of the underlying image.

    • setPixel

      public abstract void setPixel(int x, int y, ColorRGBA color)
      Sets the pixel at the given coordinate to the given color.

      For all integer based formats (those not ending in "F"), the color is first clamped to 0.0 - 1.0 before converting it to an integer to avoid overflow. For floating point based formats, components larger than 1.0 can be represented, but components lower than 0.0 are still not allowed (as all formats are unsigned).

      If the underlying format is grayscale (e.g. one of the luminance formats, such as Image.Format.Luminance8) then a color to grayscale conversion is done first, before writing the result into the image.

      If the image lacks some components (such as alpha, or any of the color components), then these components will be ignored. The only exception to this is luminance formats for which the color is converted to luminance first (see above).

      After writing the color, the image shall be marked as requiring an update. The next time it is used for rendering, all pixel changes will be reflected when the image is rendered.

      Parameters:
      x - The x coordinate, from 0 to width - 1.
      y - The y coordinate, from 0 to height - 1.
      color - The color to write.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - If x or y are outside the image dimensions.

    • getPixel

      public abstract ColorRGBA getPixel(int x, int y, ColorRGBA store)
      Retrieve the color at the given coordinate.

      Any components that are not defined in the image format will be set to 1.0 in the returned color. For example, reading from an Image.Format.Alpha8 format will return a ColorRGBA with the R, G, and B components set to 1.0, and the A component set to the alpha in the image.

      For grayscale or luminance formats, the luminance value is replicated in the R, G, and B components.

      Integer formats are converted to the range 0.0 - 1.0, based on the maximum possible integer value that can be represented by the number of bits the component has. For example, the Image.Format.RGB5A1 format can contain the integer values 0 - 31, a conversion to floating point is done by diving the integer value by 31 (done with floating point precision).

      Parameters:
      x - The x coordinate, from 0 to width - 1.
      y - The y coordinate, from 0 to height - 1.
      store - Storage location for the read color, if null, then a new ColorRGBA is created and returned with the read color.
      Returns:
      The store parameter, if it is null, then a new ColorRGBA with the read color.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - If x or y are outside the image dimensions.

    • getPixel

      public ColorRGBA getPixel(int x, int y)
      Retrieve the color at the given coordinate.

      Convenience method that does not take a store argument. Equivalent to calling getPixel(x, y, null). See getPixel(int, int, com.jme3.math.ColorRGBA) for more information.

      Parameters:
      x - The x coordinate, from 0 to width - 1.
      y - The y coordinate, from 0 to height - 1.
      Returns:
      A new ColorRGBA with the read color.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - If x or y are outside the image dimensions
