Class QuantizeFilter

java.lang.Object

java.awt.image.ImageFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.awt.image.ImageConsumer, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

public class QuantizeFilter
extends WholeImageFilter
implements java.io.Serializable

A filter which quantizes an image to a set number of colors - useful for producing images which are to be encoded using an index color model. The filter can perform Floyd-Steinberg error-diffusion dithering if required. At present, the quantization is done using an octtree algorithm but I eventually hope to add more quantization methods such as median cut. Note: at present, the filter produces an image which uses the RGB color model (because the application it was written for required it). I hope to extend it to produce an IndexColorModel by request.

Constructor Detail

QuantizeFilter

public QuantizeFilter()

Method Detail

setNumColors

public void setNumColors(int numColors)

Set the number of colors to quantize to.

Parameters:

numColors - the number of colors. The default is 256.

getNumColors

public int getNumColors()

Get the number of colors to quantize to.

Returns:

the number of colors.

setDither

public void setDither(boolean dither)

Set whether to use dithering or not. If not, the image is posterized.

Parameters:

dither - true to use dithering

getDither

public boolean getDither()

Return the dithering setting

Returns:

the current setting

setSerpentine

public void setSerpentine(boolean serpentine)

Set whether to use a serpentine pattern for return or not. This can reduce 'avalanche' artifacts in the output.

Parameters:

serpentine - true to use serpentine pattern

getSerpentine

public boolean getSerpentine()

Return the serpentine setting

Returns:

the current setting

quantize

public void quantize(int[] inPixels,
                     int[] outPixels,
                     int width,
                     int height,
                     int numColors,
                     boolean dither,
                     boolean serpentine)

imageComplete

public void imageComplete(int status)

Specified by:

imageComplete in interface java.awt.image.ImageConsumer

Overrides:

imageComplete in class java.awt.image.ImageFilter

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:
