All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable

public final class BorderExtenderCopy
extends BorderExtender

A subclass of BorderExtender that implements border extension by filling all pixels outside of the image bounds with copies of the edge pixels. For example, the image:

ABC
DEF
GHI

if extended by adding two extra rows to the top and bottom and two extra columns on the left and right sides, would become:

AAABCCC
AAABCCC
AAABCCC
DDDEFFF
GGGHIII
GGGHIII
GGGHIII

Although this type of extension is not particularly visually appealing, it is very useful as a way of padding source images prior to area or geometric operations, such as convolution, scaling, or rotation.

Method Detail

extend

public final void extend(WritableRaster raster,
                         PlanarImage im)
Fills in the portions of a given Raster that lie outside the bounds of a given PlanarImage with copies of the edge pixels of the image.

The portion of raster that lies within im.getBounds() is not altered.

Overrides:
extend in class BorderExtender
Parameters:
raster - The WritableRaster the border area of which is to be filled with copies of the edge pixels of the image.
im - The PlanarImage which will provide the edge data with which to fill the border area of the WritableRaster.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if either parameter is null.
