public static void scanForPlugins()
IIORegistry
.
This method is needed because the application class path can theoretically change, or additional plug-ins may become available. Rather than re-scanning the classpath on every invocation of the API, the class path is scanned automatically only on the first invocation. Clients can call this method to prompt a re-scan. Thus this method need only be invoked by sophisticated applications which dynamically make new plug-ins available at runtime.
The getResources
method of the context
ClassLoader
is used locate JAR files containing
files named
META-INF/services/javax.imageio.spi.
classname,
where classname is one of ImageReaderSpi
,
ImageWriterSpi
, ImageTranscoderSpi
,
ImageInputStreamSpi
, or
ImageOutputStreamSpi
, along the application class
path.
The contents of the located files indicate the names of actual implementation classes which implement the aforementioned service provider interfaces; the default class loader is then used to load each of these classes and to instantiate an instance of each class, which is then placed into the registry for later retrieval.
The exact set of locations searched depends on the implementation of the Java runtime enviroment.
public static void setUseCache(boolean useCache)
ImageInputStream
s and
ImageOutputStream
s.
When reading from a standard InputStream
>, it
may be necessary to save previously read information in a cache
since the underlying stream does not allow data to be re-read.
Similarly, when writing to a standard
OutputStream
, a cache may be used to allow a
previously written value to be changed before flushing it to
the final destination.
The cache may reside in main memory or on disk. Setting
this flag to false
disallows the use of disk for
future streams, which may be advantageous when working with
small images, as the overhead of creating and destroying files
is removed.
On startup, the value is set to true
.
useCache

cache file should be used, in cases where it is optional.getUseCache()

ImageWriter
corresponding to the given
ImageReader
, if there is one, or null
if the plug-in for this ImageReader
does not
specify a corresponding ImageWriter
, or if the
given ImageReader
is not registered. This
mechanism may be used to obtain an ImageWriter
that will understand the internal structure of non-pixel
metadata (as encoded by IIOMetadata
objects)
generated by the ImageReader
. By obtaining this
data from the ImageReader
and passing it on to the
ImageWriter
obtained with this method, a client
program can read an image, modify it in some way, and write it
back out preserving all metadata, without having to understand
anything about the structure of the metadata, or even about
the image format. Note that this method returns the
"preferred" writer, which is the first in the list returned by
