java.lang.Object | +--javax.imageio.metadata.IIOMetadataFormatImpl
A concrete class providing a reusable implementation of the
IIOMetadataFormat
interface. In addition, a static
instance representing the standard, plug-in neutral
javax_imageio_1.0
format is provided by the
getStandardFormatInstance
method.
In order to supply localized descriptions of elements and
attributes, a ResourceBundle
with a base name of
this.getClass().getName() + "Resources"
should be
supplied via the usual mechanism used by
ResourceBundle.getBundle
. Briefly, the subclasser
supplies one or more additional classes according to a naming
convention (by default, the fully-qualified name of the subclass
extending IIMetadataFormatImpl
, plus the string
"Resources", plus the country, language, and variant codes
separated by underscores). At run time, calls to
getElementDescription
or
getAttributeDescription
will attempt to load such
classes dynamically according to the supplied locale, and will use
either the element name, or the element name followed by a '/'
character followed by the attribute name as a key. This key will
be supplied to the ResourceBundle
's
getString
method, and the resulting localized
description of the node or attribute is returned.
The subclass may supply a different base name for the resource
bundles using the setResourceBaseName
method.
A subclass may choose its own localization mechanism, if so
desired, by overriding the supplied implementations of
getElementDescription
and
getAttributeDescription
.

VALUE_
, indicating the type of values
(enumeration, range, or array) that are allowed for the
Object

stored within the given element, the result of this method will
be VALUE_NONE

Object

defined as a range must implement the Comparable
interface.

contain an Object
reference, an
IllegalArgumentException
will be thrown. If the
class type is an array, this field indicates the underlying
class type (e.g, for an array of int
s, this
method would return int.class
).
Object

IIOMetadataFormat
Object

the named element. This method should only be called if
getObjectValueType
returns

The Object

emuerated values must be equal to one of the values returned by
this method, as defined by the ==
operator (as
opposed to the Object.equals
method).

returns one of the
constants starting with VALUE_RANGE
.

.
