public abstract class ColorModel extends Object implements Transparency
The ColorModel abstract class encapsulates the methods for translating a pixel value to color components (for example, red, green, and blue) and an alpha component. In order to render an image to the screen, a printer, or another image, pixel values must be converted to color and alpha components. As arguments to or return values from methods of this class, pixels are represented as 32-bit ints or as arrays of primitive types. The number, order, and interpretation of color components for a ColorModel is specified by its ColorSpace. A ColorModel used with pixel data that does not include alpha information treats all pixels as opaque, which is an alpha value of 1.0.

This ColorModel class supports two representations of pixel values. A pixel value can be a single 32-bit int or an array of primitive types. The Java(tm) Platform 1.0 and 1.1 APIs represented pixels as single byte or single int values. For purposes of the ColorModel class, pixel value arguments were passed as ints. The Java(tm) 2 Platform API introduced additional classes for representing images. With BufferedImage or RenderedImage objects, based on Raster and SampleModel classes, pixel values might not be conveniently representable as a single int. Consequently, ColorModel now has methods that accept pixel values represented as arrays of primitive types. The primitive type used by a particular ColorModel object is called its transfer type.

ColorModel objects used with images for which pixel values are not conveniently representable as a single int throw an IllegalArgumentException when methods taking a single int pixel argument are called. Subclasses of ColorModel must specify the conditions under which this occurs. This does not occur with DirectColorModel or IndexColorModel objects.

Currently, the transfer types supported by the Java 2D(tm) API are DataBuffer.TYPE_BYTE, DataBuffer.TYPE_USHORT, DataBuffer.TYPE_INT, DataBuffer.TYPE_SHORT, DataBuffer.TYPE_FLOAT, and DataBuffer.TYPE_DOUBLE. Most rendering operations will perform much faster when using ColorModels and images based on the first three of these types. In addition, some image filtering operations are not supported for ColorModels and images based on the latter three types. The transfer type for a particular ColorModel object is specified when the object is created, either explicitly or by default. All subclasses of ColorModel must specify what the possible transfer types are and how the number of elements in the primitive arrays representing pixels is determined.

For BufferedImages, the transfer type of its Raster and of the Raster object's SampleModel (available from the getTransferType methods of these classes) must match that of the ColorModel. The number of elements in an array representing a pixel for the Raster and SampleModel (available from the getNumDataElements methods of these classes) must match that of the ColorModel.

The algorithm used to convert from pixel values to color and alpha components varies by subclass. For example, there is not necessarily a one-to-one correspondence between samples obtained from the SampleModel of a BufferedImage object's Raster and color/alpha components. Even when there is such a correspondence, the number of bits in a sample is not necessarily the same as the number of bits in the corresponding color/alpha component. Each subclass must specify how the translation from pixel values to color/alpha components is done.

Methods in the ColorModel class use two different representations of color and alpha components - a normalized form and an unnormalized form. In the normalized form, each component is a float value between some minimum and maximum values. For the alpha component, the minimum is 0.0 and the maximum is 1.0. For color components the minimum and maximum values for each component can be obtained from the ColorSpace object. These values will often be 0.0 and 1.0 (e.g. normalized component values for the default sRGB color space range from 0.0 to 1.0), but some color spaces have component values with different upper and lower limits. These limits can be obtained using the getMinValue and getMaxValue methods of the ColorSpace class. Normalized color component values are not premultiplied. All ColorModels must support the normalized form.

In the unnormalized form, each component is an unsigned integral value between 0 and 2n - 1, where n is the number of significant bits for a particular component. If pixel values for a particular ColorModel represent color samples premultiplied by the alpha sample, unnormalized color component values are also premultiplied. The unnormalized form is used only with instances of ColorModel whose ColorSpace has minimum component values of 0.0 for all components and maximum values of 1.0 for all components. The unnormalized form for color and alpha components can be a convenient representation for ColorModels whose normalized component values all lie between 0.0 and 1.0. In such cases the integral value 0 maps to 0.0 and the value 2n - 1 maps to 1.0. In other cases, such as when the normalized component values can be either negative or positive, the unnormalized form is not convenient. Such ColorModel objects throw an IllegalArgumentException when methods involving an unnormalized argument are called. Subclasses of ColorModel must specify the conditions under which this occurs.

Constructor Details

ColorModel

public ColorModel(int bits)
Constructs a ColorModel that translates pixels of the specified number of bits to color/alpha components. The color space is the default RGB ColorSpace, which is sRGB. Pixel values are assumed to include alpha information. If color and alpha information are represented in the pixel value as separate spatial bands, the color bands are assumed not to be premultiplied with the alpha value. The transparency type is java.awt.Transparency.TRANSLUCENT. The transfer type will be the smallest of DataBuffer.TYPE_BYTE, DataBuffer.TYPE_USHORT, or DataBuffer.TYPE_INT that can hold a single pixel (or DataBuffer.TYPE_UNDEFINED if bits is greater than 32). Since this constructor has no information about the number of bits per color and alpha component, any subclass calling this constructor should override any method that requires this information.
Parameters:
bits - the number of bits of a pixel
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the number of bits in bits is less than 1

ColorModel

protected ColorModel(int pixel_bits, int[] bits, ColorSpace cspace, boolean hasAlpha, boolean isAlphaPremultiplied, int transparency, int transferType)
Constructs a ColorModel that translates pixel values to color/alpha components. Color components will be in the specified ColorSpace. pixel_bits is the number of bits in the pixel values. The bits array specifies the number of significant bits per color and alpha component. Its length should be the number of components in the ColorSpace if there is no alpha information in the pixel values, or one more than this number if there is alpha information. hasAlpha indicates whether or not alpha information is present. The boolean isAlphaPremultiplied specifies how to interpret pixel values in which color and alpha information are represented as separate spatial bands. If the boolean is true, color samples are assumed to have been multiplied by the alpha sample. The transparency specifies what alpha values can be represented by this color model. The transfer type is the type of primitive array used to represent pixel values. Note that the bits array contains the number of significant bits per color/alpha component after the translation from pixel values. For example, for an IndexColorModel with pixel_bits equal to 16, the bits array might have four elements with each element set to 8.
Parameters:
pixel_bits - the number of bits in the pixel values
bits - array that specifies the number of significant bits per color and alpha component
cspace - the specified ColorSpace
hasAlpha - true if alpha information is present; false otherwise
isAlphaPremultiplied - true if color samples are assumed to be premultiplied by the alpha samples; false otherwise
transparency - what alpha values can be represented by this color model
transferType - the type of the array used to represent pixel values
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the length of the bit array is less than the number of color or alpha components in this ColorModel, or if the transparency is not a valid value.
IllegalArgumentException - if the sum of the number of bits in bits is less than 1 or if any of the elements in bits is less than 0.

Method Details

getRGBdefault

public static ColorModel getRGBdefault()
Returns a DirectColorModel that describes the default format for integer RGB values used in many of the methods in the AWT image interfaces for the convenience of the programmer. The color space is the default ColorSpace, sRGB. The format for the RGB values is an integer with 8 bits each of alpha, red, green, and blue color components ordered correspondingly from the most significant byte to the least significant byte, as in: 0xAARRGGBB. Color components are not premultiplied by the alpha component. This format does not necessarily represent the native or the most efficient ColorModel for a particular device or for all images. It is merely used as a common color model format.
Returns:
a DirectColorModel object describing default RGB values.

hasAlpha

public final boolean hasAlpha()
Returns whether or not alpha is supported in this ColorModel.
Returns:
true if alpha is supported in this ColorModel; false otherwise.

public final boolean isAlphaPremultiplied()
Returns whether or not the alpha has been premultiplied in the pixel values to be translated by this ColorModel. If the boolean is true, this ColorModel is to be used to interpret pixel values in which color and alpha information are represented as separate spatial bands, and color samples are assumed to have been multiplied by the alpha sample.
Returns:
true if the alpha values are premultiplied in the pixel values to be translated by this ColorModel; false otherwise.

An ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown if the components array is not null and is not large enough to hold all the color and alpha components (starting at offset). Since ColorModel is an abstract class, any instance is an instance of a subclass. Subclasses must override this method since the implementation in this abstract class throws an UnsupportedOperationException.

components - the array to receive the color and alpha components of the specified pixel
offset - the offset into the components array at which to start storing the color and alpha components
Returns:

UnsupportedOperationException - if this method is not supported by this ColorModel

getComponents

public int[] getComponents(Object pixel, int[] components, int offset)
Returns an array of unnormalized color/alpha components given a pixel in this ColorModel. The pixel value is specified by an array of data elements of type transferType passed in as an object reference. If pixel is not a primitive array of type transferType, a ClassCastException is thrown.

An ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown if the components array is not null and is not large enough to hold all the color and alpha components (starting at offset). Since ColorModel is an abstract class, any instance is an instance of a subclass. Subclasses must override this method since the implementation in this abstract class throws an UnsupportedOperationException.

getUnnormalizedComponents

public int[] getUnnormalizedComponents(float[] normComponents, int normOffset, int[] components, int offset)
Returns an array of all of the color/alpha components in unnormalized form, given a normalized component array. Unnormalized components are unsigned integral values between 0 and 2n - 1, where n is the number of bits for a particular component. Normalized components are float values between a per component minimum and maximum specified by the ColorSpace object for this ColorModel. An IllegalArgumentException will be thrown if color component values for this ColorModel are not conveniently representable in the unnormalized form.

components - an array that receives the components from normComponents
offset - the index into components at which to begin storing normalized components from normComponents
Returns:
an array containing unnormalized color and alpha components.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - If the component values for this ColorModel are not conveniently representable in the unnormalized form.
IllegalArgumentException - if the length of normComponents minus normOffset is less than numComponents
UnsupportedOperationException - if the constructor of this ColorModel called the super(bits) constructor, but did not override this method. See the constructor, ColorModel(int).

getNormalizedComponents

public float[] getNormalizedComponents(int[] components, int offset, float[] normComponents, int normOffset)
Returns an array of all of the color/alpha components in normalized form, given an unnormalized component array. Unnormalized components are unsigned integral values between 0 and 2n - 1, where n is the number of bits for a particular component. Normalized components are float values between a per component minimum and maximum specified by the ColorSpace object for this ColorModel. An IllegalArgumentException will be thrown if color component values for this ColorModel are not conveniently representable in the unnormalized form. If the normComponents array is null, a new array will be allocated. The normComponents array will be returned. Color/alpha components are stored in the normComponents array starting at normOffset (even if the array is allocated by this method). An ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown if the normComponents array is not null and is not large enough to hold all the color and alpha components (starting at normOffset). An IllegalArgumentException is thrown if the components array is not large enough to hold all the color and alpha components starting at offset.

Since ColorModel is an abstract class, any instance is an instance of a subclass. The default implementation of this method in this abstract class assumes that component values for this class are conveniently representable in the unnormalized form. Therefore, subclasses which may have instances which do not support the unnormalized form must override this method.

Parameters:
components - an array containing unnormalized components
offset - the offset into the components array at which to start retrieving unnormalized components
normComponents - an array that receives the normalized components
normOffset - the index into normComponents at which to begin storing normalized components
Returns:
an array containing normalized color and alpha components.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - If the component values for this ColorModel are not conveniently representable in the unnormalized form.
UnsupportedOperationException - if the constructor of this ColorModel called the super(bits) constructor, but did not override this method. See the constructor, ColorModel(int).
UnsupportedOperationException - if this method is unable to determine the number of bits per component

getDataElement

public int getDataElement(int[] components, int offset)
Returns a pixel value represented as an int in this ColorModel, given an array of unnormalized color/alpha components. This method will throw an IllegalArgumentException if component values for this ColorModel are not conveniently representable as a single int or if color component values for this ColorModel are not conveniently representable in the unnormalized form. An ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown if the components array is not large enough to hold all the color and alpha components (starting at offset). Since ColorModel is an abstract class, any instance is an instance of a subclass. Subclasses must override this method since the implementation in this abstract class throws an UnsupportedOperationException.
Parameters:
components - an array of unnormalized color and alpha components
offset - the index into components at which to begin retrieving the color and alpha components
Returns:
an int pixel value in this ColorModel corresponding to the specified components.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if pixel values for this ColorModel are not conveniently representable as a single int
IllegalArgumentException - if component values for this ColorModel are not conveniently representable in the unnormalized form
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if the components array is not large enough to hold all of the color and alpha components starting at offset
UnsupportedOperationException - if this method is not supported by this ColorModel

getDataElements

public Object getDataElements(int[] components, int offset, Object obj)
Returns a data element array representation of a pixel in this ColorModel, given an array of unnormalized color/alpha components. This array can then be passed to the setDataElements method of a WritableRaster object. This method will throw an IllegalArgumentException if color component values for this ColorModel are not conveniently representable in the unnormalized form. An ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown if the components array is not large enough to hold all the color and alpha components (starting at offset). If the obj variable is null, a new array will be allocated. If obj is not null, it must be a primitive array of type transferType; otherwise, a ClassCastException is thrown. An ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown if obj is not large enough to hold a pixel value for this ColorModel. Since ColorModel is an abstract class, any instance is an instance of a subclass. Subclasses must override this method since the implementation in this abstract class throws an UnsupportedOperationException.
Parameters:
components - an array of unnormalized color and alpha components
offset - the index into components at which to begin retrieving color and alpha components
obj - the Object representing an array of color and alpha components
Returns:
an Object representing an array of color and alpha components.
Throws:
ClassCastException - if obj is not a primitive array of type transferType
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if obj is not large enough to hold a pixel value for this ColorModel or the components array is not large enough to hold all of the color and alpha components starting at offset
IllegalArgumentException - if component values for this ColorModel are not conveniently representable in the unnormalized form
UnsupportedOperationException - if this method is not supported by this ColorModel

getDataElement

public int getDataElement(float[] normComponents, int normOffset)
Returns a pixel value represented as an int in this ColorModel, given an array of normalized color/alpha components. This method will throw an IllegalArgumentException if pixel values for this ColorModel are not conveniently representable as a single int. An ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown if the normComponents array is not large enough to hold all the color and alpha components (starting at normOffset). Since ColorModel is an abstract class, any instance is an instance of a subclass. The default implementation of this method in this abstract class first converts from the normalized form to the unnormalized form and then calls getDataElement(int[], int). Subclasses which may have instances which do not support the unnormalized form must override this method.
Parameters:
normComponents - an array of normalized color and alpha components
normOffset - the index into normComponents at which to begin retrieving the color and alpha components
Returns:
an int pixel value in this ColorModel corresponding to the specified components.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if pixel values for this ColorModel are not conveniently representable as a single int

Since:
1.4

getDataElements

public Object getDataElements(float[] normComponents, int normOffset, Object obj)
Returns a data element array representation of a pixel in this ColorModel, given an array of normalized color/alpha components. This array can then be passed to the setDataElements method of a WritableRaster object. An ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown if the normComponents array is not large enough to hold all the color and alpha components (starting at normOffset). If the obj variable is null, a new array will be allocated. If obj is not null, it must be a primitive array of type transferType; otherwise, a ClassCastException is thrown. An ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown if obj is not large enough to hold a pixel value for this ColorModel. Since ColorModel is an abstract class, any instance is an instance of a subclass. The default implementation of this method in this abstract class first converts from the normalized form to the unnormalized form and then calls getDataElement(int[], int, Object). Subclasses which may have instances which do not support the unnormalized form must override this method.
Parameters:
normComponents - an array of normalized color and alpha components
normOffset - the index into normComponents at which to begin retrieving color and alpha components
obj - a primitive data array to hold the returned pixel
Returns:
an Object which is a primitive data array representation of a pixel

getNormalizedComponents

public float[] getNormalizedComponents(Object pixel, float[] normComponents, int normOffset)
Returns an array of all of the color/alpha components in normalized form, given a pixel in this ColorModel. The pixel value is specified by an array of data elements of type transferType passed in as an object reference. If pixel is not a primitive array of type transferType, a ClassCastException is thrown. An ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown if pixel is not large enough to hold a pixel value for this ColorModel. Normalized components are float values between a per component minimum and maximum specified by the ColorSpace object for this ColorModel. If the normComponents array is null, a new array will be allocated. The normComponents array will be returned. Color/alpha components are stored in the normComponents array starting at normOffset (even if the array is allocated by this method). An ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown if the normComponents array is not null and is not large enough to hold all the color and alpha components (starting at normOffset). Since ColorModel is an abstract class, any instance is an instance of a subclass. The default implementation of this method in this abstract class first retrieves color and alpha components in the unnormalized form using getComponents(Object, int[], int) and then calls getNormalizedComponents(int[], int, float[], int). Subclasses which may have instances which do not support the unnormalized form must override this method.
Parameters:
pixel - the specified pixel
normComponents - an array to receive the normalized components
normOffset - the offset into the normComponents array at which to start storing normalized components

ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if pixel is not large enough to hold a pixel value for this ColorModel.
UnsupportedOperationException - if the constructor of this ColorModel called the super(bits) constructor, but did not override this method. See the constructor, ColorModel(int).
UnsupportedOperationException - if this method is unable to determine the number of bits per component
Since:
1.4

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)
This method simply delegates to the default implementation in Object which is identical to an == test since this class cannot enforce the issues of a proper equality test among multiple independent subclass branches. Subclasses are encouraged to override this method and provide equality testing for their own properties in addition to equality tests for the following common base properties of ColorModel:
  • Support for alpha component.
  • Is alpha premultiplied.
  • Number of bits per pixel.
  • Type of transparency like Opaque, Bitmask or Translucent.
  • Number of components in a pixel.
  • ColorSpace type.
  • Type of the array used to represent pixel values.
  • Number of significant bits per color and alpha component.
Overrides:
equals in class Object
Parameters:
obj - the reference object with which to compare.
Returns:
true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

hashCode

public int hashCode()
This method simply delegates to the default implementation in Object which returns the system ID for the class. Subclasses are encouraged to override this method and provide a hash for their own properties in addition to hashing the values of the following common base properties of ColorModel:
  • Support for alpha component.
  • Is alpha premultiplied.
  • Number of bits per pixel.
  • Type of transparency like Opaque, Bitmask or Translucent.
  • Number of components in a pixel.

coerceData

public ColorModel coerceData(WritableRaster raster, boolean isAlphaPremultiplied)
Forces the raster data to match the state specified in the isAlphaPremultiplied variable, assuming the data is currently correctly described by this ColorModel. It may multiply or divide the color raster data by alpha, or do nothing if the data is in the correct state. If the data needs to be coerced, this method will also return an instance of this ColorModel with the isAlphaPremultiplied flag set appropriately. This method will throw a UnsupportedOperationException if it is not supported by this ColorModel. Since ColorModel is an abstract class, any instance is an instance of a subclass. Subclasses must override this method since the implementation in this abstract class throws an UnsupportedOperationException.
Parameters:
raster - the WritableRaster data
isAlphaPremultiplied - true if the alpha is premultiplied; false otherwise
Returns:
a ColorModel object that represents the coerced data.

isCompatibleRaster

public boolean isCompatibleRaster(Raster raster)

Returns:
true if raster is compatible with this ColorModel.
Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException - if this method has not been implemented for this ColorModel

createCompatibleWritableRaster

finalize

@Deprecated(since="9", forRemoval=true) public void finalize()
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
The finalize method has been deprecated. Subclasses that override finalize in order to perform cleanup should be modified to use alternative cleanup mechanisms and to remove the overriding finalize method. When overriding the finalize method, its implementation must explicitly ensure that super.finalize() is invoked as described in Object.finalize(). See the specification for Object.finalize() for further information about migration options.
Disposes of system resources associated with this ColorModel once this ColorModel is no longer referenced.
Overrides:
finalize in class Object
See Also:

getAlphaRaster

public WritableRaster getAlphaRaster(WritableRaster raster)
Returns a Raster representing the alpha channel of an image, extracted from the input Raster, provided that pixel values of this ColorModel represent color and alpha information as separate spatial bands (e.g. ComponentColorModel and DirectColorModel). This method assumes that Raster objects associated with such a ColorModel store the alpha band, if present, as the last band of image data. Returns null if there is no separate spatial alpha channel associated with this ColorModel. If this is an IndexColorModel which has alpha in the lookup table, this method will return null since there is no spatially discrete alpha channel. This method will create a new Raster (but will share the data array). Since ColorModel is an abstract class, any instance is an instance of a subclass. Subclasses must override this method to get any behavior other than returning null because the implementation in this abstract class returns null.
Parameters:
raster - the specified Raster
Returns:
a Raster representing the alpha channel of an image, obtained from the specified Raster.

toString

public String toString()
Returns the String representation of the contents of this ColorModel object.
Overrides:
toString in class Object
