Constructor Detail

AwtImageReference

public AwtImageReference(java.awt.Image image)

Creates a reference to a java.awt.Image. If the image is modified after instantiation you should dispose of any AwtImageReference instances that reference it and create new ones.

Parameters:

image - A java.awt.Image to be displayed. If you intend to extend this class and override the getImage() method to return images only as they are needed, then you may pass null to this parameter.

Method Detail

getImage

public java.awt.Image getImage()

Retrieves the image. Calls to this method will be minimized such that applications may extend this class and override this method such that images are created only when they are needed, thereby reducing memory usage at the cost of increased processor workload.

getHeight

public int getHeight()

Returns the height of the image in pixels.

Returns:

The height of the image in pixels.

See Also:

ImageReference.getHeight()

getWidth

public int getWidth()

Returns the width of the image in pixels.

Returns:

The width of the image in pixels.
