Method Detail

createTIFFFromImages

public static void createTIFFFromImages(java.awt.image.BufferedImage[] images,
                                        java.io.File file)
                                 throws java.io.IOException

Creates a TIFF file from the specified images. all the images are converted to black-white and GROUP4 compression is used for the TIFF.

Parameters:

images -

file -

Throws:

java.io.IOException

createTIFFFromImages

public static void createTIFFFromImages(java.awt.image.BufferedImage[] images,
                                        int conversion,
                                        int compression,
                                        java.io.File file)
                                 throws java.io.IOException

Creates a TIFF file from the specified images. Before the images are put into the TIFF, you can optionally convert them to gray (TIFF_CONVERSION_TO_GRAY) or black-white (TIFF_CONVERSION_TO_BLACK_WHITE) to reduce the file size. Also, you can set the compression algorithm for TIFF.

Parameters:

images - - list of images to be put into the TIFF file.

conversion - - converts the images into the specified format before putting into the TIFF.

compression - - compression algorithm used for TIFF.

file - - the TIFF file to be written to.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getBufferedImageFromImage

public static java.awt.image.BufferedImage getBufferedImageFromImage(java.awt.Image image)

Converts an image into a buffered image.

Parameters:

image -

Returns:

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)
                 throws java.io.IOException
