Interface RenderedImageType


public interface RenderedImageType

This interface allows the RenderedImageFactory to auto-defect an image type through an extension point. Implementors need to know how to auto-defect the type of image given a byte buffer representing the contents of the image.

RenderedImage autoDetect(byte[] buffer,
                         org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.draw2d.ui.render.internal.factory.RenderedImageKey key)
Parameters:
buffer - the byte[] array that is the contents of the image file. This is used as the input in order to detect the type of file format.
