public abstract interface CompositeContext

This interface defines the encapsulated and optimized environment for a compositing operation. CompositeContext objects maintain state for compositing operations. In a multi-threaded environment, several contexts may exist simultaneously for a single Composite object.

void	dispose() Release resources allocated for context.

Method Detail

dispose

public void dispose()

Release resources allocated for context.

compose

public void compose(Raster src,
                    Raster dstIn,
                    WritableRaster dstOut)

This method composes the two source rasters and places the result in the destination raster. Note that the destination can be the same object as either the first or second source. Note that dstIn and dstOut must be compatible with the dstColorModel passed to the createContext() method of the Composite Interface.

Parameters:

src - The first source for the compositing operation.

dstIn - The second source for the compositing operation.

dstOunt - The Raster where the result of the operation is stored.
