Method Detail

setByteOrder sample code for javax.imageio.stream.ImageInputStream.setByteOrder(java.nio.ByteOrder) definition code for javax.imageio.stream.ImageInputStream.setByteOrder(java.nio.ByteOrder)

void setByteOrder(ByteOrder sample code for java.nio.ByteOrder definition code for java.nio.ByteOrder  byteOrder)
Sets the desired byte order for future reads of data values from this stream. For example, the sequence of bytes '0x01 0x02 0x03 0x04' if read as a 4-byte integer would have the value '0x01020304' using network byte order and the value '0x04030201' under the reverse byte order.

The enumeration class java.nio.ByteOrder is used to specify the byte order. A value of ByteOrder.BIG_ENDIAN specifies so-called big-endian or network byte order, in which the high-order byte comes first. Motorola and Sparc processors store data in this format, while Intel processors store data in the reverse ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN order.

The byte order has no effect on the results returned from the readBits method (or the value written by ImageOutputStream.writeBits).

Parameters:
byteOrder - one of ByteOrder.BIG_ENDIAN or java.nio.ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN, indicating whether network byte order or its reverse will be used for future reads.

String sample code for java.lang.String definition code for java.lang.String  readLine()
                throws IOException sample code for java.io.IOException definition code for java.io.IOException 
Reads the next line of text from the input stream. It reads successive bytes, converting each byte separately into a character, until it encounters a line terminator or end of file; the characters read are then returned as a String. Note that because this method processes bytes, it does not support input of the full Unicode character set.

If end of file is encountered before even one byte can be read, then null is returned. Otherwise, each byte that is read is converted to type char by zero-extension. If the character '\n' is encountered, it is discarded and reading ceases. If the character '\r' is encountered, it is discarded and, if the following byte converts to the character '\n', then that is discarded also; reading then ceases. If end of file is encountered before either of the characters '\n' and '\r' is encountered, reading ceases. Once reading has ceased, a String is returned that contains all the characters read and not discarded, taken in order. Note that every character in this string will have a value less than \u0100, that is, (char)256.

The bit offset within the stream is reset to zero before the read occurs.

readUTF sample code for javax.imageio.stream.ImageInputStream.readUTF() definition code for javax.imageio.stream.ImageInputStream.readUTF()

String sample code for java.lang.String definition code for java.lang.String  readUTF()
               throws IOException sample code for java.io.IOException definition code for java.io.IOException 
Reads in a string that has been encoded using a modified UTF-8 format. The general contract of readUTF is that it reads a representation of a Unicode character string encoded in modified UTF-8 format; this string of characters is then returned as a String.

First, two bytes are read and used to construct an unsigned 16-bit integer in the manner of the readUnsignedShort method, using network byte order (regardless of the current byte order setting). This integer value is called the UTF length and specifies the number of additional bytes to be read. These bytes are then converted to characters by considering them in groups. The length of each group is computed from the value of the first byte of the group. The byte following a group, if any, is the first byte of the next group.

If the first byte of a group matches the bit pattern 0xxxxxxx (where x means "may be 0 or 1"), then the group consists of just that byte. The byte is zero-extended to form a character.

If the first byte of a group matches the bit pattern 110xxxxx, then the group consists of that byte a and a second byte b. If there is no byte b (because byte a was the last of the bytes to be read), or if byte b does not match the bit pattern 10xxxxxx, then a UTFDataFormatException is thrown. Otherwise, the group is converted to the character:


 (char)(((a& 0x1F) << 6) | (b & 0x3F))
 
If the first byte of a group matches the bit pattern 1110xxxx, then the group consists of that byte a and two more bytes b and c. If there is no byte c (because byte a was one of the last two of the bytes to be read), or either byte b or byte c does not match the bit pattern 10xxxxxx, then a UTFDataFormatException is thrown. Otherwise, the group is converted to the character:


 (char)(((a & 0x0F) << 12) | ((b & 0x3F) << 6) | (c & 0x3F))
 
If the first byte of a group matches the pattern 1111xxxx or the pattern 10xxxxxx, then a UTFDataFormatException is thrown.

If end of file is encountered at any time during this entire process, then an EOFException is thrown.

After every group has been converted to a character by this process, the characters are gathered, in the same order in which their corresponding groups were read from the input stream, to form a String, which is returned.

The current byte order setting is ignored.

The bit offset within the stream is reset to zero before the read occurs.

Note: This method should not be used in the implementation of image formats that use standard UTF-8, because the modified UTF-8 used here is incompatible with standard UTF-8.

            throws IOException sample code for java.io.IOException definition code for java.io.IOException 
Reads a single bit from the stream and returns it as an int with the value 0 or 1. The bit offset is advanced by one and reduced modulo 8.

Returns:
an int containing the value 0 or 1.
Throws:
EOFException sample code for java.io.EOFException definition code for java.io.EOFException - if the stream reaches the end before reading all the bits.

readBits sample code for javax.imageio.stream.ImageInputStream.readBits(int) definition code for javax.imageio.stream.ImageInputStream.readBits(int)

long readBits(int numBits)
              throws IOException sample code for java.io.IOException definition code for java.io.IOException 
Reads a bitstring from the stream and returns it as a long, with the first bit read becoming the most significant bit of the output. The read starts within the byte indicated by getStreamPosition, at the bit given by getBitOffset. The bit offset is advanced by numBits and reduced modulo 8.

The byte order of the stream has no effect on this method. The return value of this method is constructed as though the bits were read one at a time, and shifted into the right side of the return value, as shown by the following pseudo-code:

 long accum = 0L;
 for (int i = 0; i < numBits; i++) {
   accum <<= 1; // Shift left one bit to make room
   accum |= readBit();
 }
 
Note that the result of readBits(32) may thus not be equal to that of readInt() if a reverse network byte order is being used (i.e., getByteOrder() == false).

If the end of the stream is encountered before all the bits have been read, an EOFException is thrown.

Parameters:
numBits - the number of bits to read, as an int between 0 and 64, inclusive.
Returns:
the bitstring, as a long with the last bit read stored in the least significant bit.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException sample code for java.lang.IllegalArgumentException definition code for java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if numBits is not between 0 and 64, inclusive.

          throws IOException sample code for java.io.IOException definition code for java.io.IOException 
Sets the current stream position to the desired location. The next read will occur at this location. The bit offset is set to 0.

An IndexOutOfBoundsException will be thrown if pos is smaller than the flushed position (as returned by getflushedPosition).

It is legal to seek past the end of the file; an EOFException will be thrown only if a read is performed.

Parameters:
pos - a long containing the desired file pointer position.
Throws:
IndexOutOfBoundsException sample code for java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException definition code for java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if pos is smaller than the flushed position.

           throws IOException sample code for java.io.IOException definition code for java.io.IOException 
Returns the file pointer to its previous position, including the bit offset, at the time of the most recent unmatched call to mark.

Calls to reset without a corresponding call to mark have no effect.

An IOException will be thrown if the previous marked position lies in the discarded portion of the stream.

Throws:
IOException sample code for java.io.IOException definition code for java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

flushBefore sample code for javax.imageio.stream.ImageInputStream.flushBefore(long) definition code for javax.imageio.stream.ImageInputStream.flushBefore(long)

void flushBefore(long pos)
                 throws IOException sample code for java.io.IOException definition code for java.io.IOException 
Discards the initial portion of the stream prior to the indicated postion. Attempting to seek to an offset within the flushed portion of the stream will result in an IndexOutOfBoundsException.

Calling flushBefore may allow classes implementing this interface to free up resources such as memory or disk space that are being used to store data from the stream.

Parameters:
pos - a long containing the length of the file prefix that may be flushed.
Throws:
IndexOutOfBoundsException sample code for java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException definition code for java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if pos lies in the flushed portion of the stream or past the current stream position.

           throws IOException sample code for java.io.IOException definition code for java.io.IOException 
Discards the initial position of the stream prior to the current stream position. Equivalent to flushBefore(getStreamPosition()).

Throws:
IOException sample code for java.io.IOException definition code for java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

getFlushedPosition sample code for javax.imageio.stream.ImageInputStream.getFlushedPosition() definition code for javax.imageio.stream.ImageInputStream.getFlushedPosition()

long getFlushedPosition()
Returns the earliest position in the stream to which seeking may be performed. The returned value will be the maximum of all values passed into previous calls to flushBefore.

Returns:
the earliest legal position for seeking, as a long.

isCached sample code for javax.imageio.stream.ImageInputStream.isCached() definition code for javax.imageio.stream.ImageInputStream.isCached()

boolean isCached()
Returns true if this ImageInputStream caches data itself in order to allow seeking backwards. Applications may consult this in order to decide how frequently, or whether, to flush in order to conserve cache resources.

Returns:
true if this ImageInputStream caches data.
