public class BMPImageWriteParam

extends ImageWriteParam

A subclass of ImageWriteParam for encoding images in the BMP format.

This class allows for the specification of various parameters while writing a BMP format image file. By default, the version used is VERSION_3, no compression is used, and the data layout is bottom_up, such that the pixels are stored in bottom-up order, the first scanline being stored last.

Compression may be requested if the BMP version is 3.0 or higher. The particular compression scheme to be used can be specified by using the setCompressionType() method with the appropriate type string. The compression scheme specified will be honored if only if it is compatible with the type of image being written. The compression type strings and the image type(s) each supports are listed in the following table:

Compression Types

Type String	Description	Image Types
BI_RGB	Uncompressed RLE	<= 8-bits/sample
BI_RLE8	8-bit Run Length Encoding	<= 8-bits/sample
BI_RLE4	4-bit Run Length Encoding	<= 4-bits/sample
BI_BITFIELDS	Packed data	<= 8-bits/sample

Field Summary

static int	VERSION_2 Constant for BMP version 2.
static int	VERSION_3 Constant for BMP version 3.
static int	VERSION_4 Constant for BMP version 4.
static int	VERSION_5 Constant for BMP version 5.

BMPImageWriteParam()
Constructs an BMPImageWriteParam object with default values for all parameters.

Method Summary

int	getVersion() Returns the BMP version to be used.
boolean	isTopDown() Returns the value of the topDown parameter.
void	setTopDown(boolean topDown) If set, the data will be written out in a top-down manner, the first scanline being written first.
