Interface Summary
IIOParamController An interface to be implemented by objects that can determine the settings of an IIOParam object, either by putting up a GUI to obtain values from a user, or by other means.
 

Class Summary
IIOImage A simple container class to aggregate an image.
IIOParam A superclass of all classes describing how streams should be decoded or encoded.
ImageIO A class containing static convenience methods for locating ImageReaders and ImageWriters, and performing simple encoding and decoding.
ImageReader An abstract superclass for parsing and decoding of images.
ImageReadParam A class describing how a stream is to be decoded.
ImageTypeSpecifier A class that allows the format of an image (in particular, its SampleModel and ColorModel) to be specified in a convenient manner.
ImageWriteParam A class describing how a stream is to be encoded.
ImageWriter An abstract superclass for encoding and writing images.
 

Exception Summary

Package javax.imageio Description

The main package of the Java Image I/O API.

Many common image I/O operations may be performed using the static methods of the ImageIO class.

This package contains the basic classes and interfaces for describing the contents of image files (IIOImage); for controlling the image reading process (ImageReader, ImageReadParam, and ImageTypeSpecifier) and image writing process (ImageWriter and ImageWriteParam); and for reporting errors (IIOException).

JSR-209 does not include the javax.imageio.spi and javax.imageio.metadata packages in this release. Compliant implementations of JSR-209 will need to implement ImageReaders and ImageWriters for the supported formats such that they are available to applications either through the ImageIO class or the creation of ImageInputStream or ImageOutputStream.
