21.9 java.awt.image.ImageProducer (JDK 1.0)

This interface defines the methods that any class that produces image data must define to enable communication with ImageConsumer classes. An ImageConsumer registers itself as interested in a producer's image by calling the addConsumer() method.

Most applications never need to use or implement this interface.

public abstract interface ImageProducer {
    // Public Instance Methods
            public abstract void addConsumer(ImageConsumer ic);
            public abstract boolean isConsumer(ImageConsumer ic);
            public abstract void removeConsumer(ImageConsumer ic);
            public abstract void requestTopDownLeftRightResend(ImageConsumer ic);
            public abstract void startProduction(ImageConsumer ic);
}

Implemented By:

FilteredImageSource, MemoryImageSource

Passed To:

Component.createImage(), ComponentPeer.createImage(), FilteredImageSource(), ImageFilter.resendTopDownLeftRight(), PixelGrabber(), Toolkit.createImage()

Returned By:

Image.getSource()
