Creates a BBXImage from a BBjImage

Creates a BBXImage from a Java ImageIcon object

Creates a BBXImage from a string represetatin of a URL

Method to overlay the BBXImage with a BBjColor (which usually has an alpha component)

Method to get a copy of the BBXImage

Method to return the smallest image possible by cropping out the background of the original image using the top left pixel's color as the base background color to crop out.

Method to draw an oval on the BBXImage's canvas, specifying the thickness of the line and the color/opacity of the line.

Note that specifying the same value for the width and height results in a circle.

Method to draw a rectangle on the BBXImage's canvas, specifying the thickness of the line and the color/opacity of the line.

Method to draw a rectangle on the BBXImage's canvas, specifying the thickness of the line and the color/opacity of the line.

Method to draw a rectangle on the BBXImage's canvas, specifying the thickness of the line and the color/opacity of the line.

Draws the specified text on the current BBXImage object. Multi-line strings are denoted by including a linebreak ($0A$) between the lines of text.

Method to flip the BBXImage vertically

Method to rotate the BBXImage

The image will be rotated around the center point, and a positive rotation angle corresponds to rotating the image in a clockwise fashion. Note that the new image will be larger than the original image to avoid truncating rotated edges.

Method to round the corners (knockout) of the BBXImage given a cornerRadius

Method to scale the BBXImage given a width and height Note: This method of scaling uses the java.awt.Image::getScaledInstance() method with the Image.SCALE_AREA_AVERAGING rendering hint.

Method to scale the BBXImage preserving the aspect ratio given the width

Method to scale the BBXImage preserving the aspect ratio given the maximum width and height dimensions.

This method is useful in the case where you'd like to resize the source image ensuring that it will maintain its original proportions and will fit within a rectangle of a particular size.

Method to scale the BBXImage preserving the aspect ratio given the maximum width and height dimensions, then resize the canvas so that the image will be resized to the specified width and height. The original image will be centered in the final image and any extra space will be transparent. The final image will then be used to set the contents of the specified BBjImageCtrl

This method is useful in the case where you'd like to resize the an image ensuring that it will maintain its original proportions and will fit within a BBjImageCtrl of a particular size.

Method to scale the BBXImage given a width and height and HashMap of Graphics2D rendering hints

Java's RenderingHints allow you to specify the interpolation method used when scaling the image. The possible values are:

• VALUE_INTERPOLATION_NEAREST_NEIGHBOR
• VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR
• VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BICUBIC

Generally speaking, the interpolations values shown above range from quickest with poorest quality (VALUE_INTERPOLATION_NEAREST_NEIGHBOR) to slowest with best quality (VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BICUBIC). In practice, bilinear and bicubic interpolation produce results that are very similar. Bicubic will be slightly sharper than bilinear, with a bit more emphasis on edges. That translates to bicubic often being a better choice for image reduction, whereas blinear is usually better for image enlargement.

Following is a short example showing how to use this method:

 use java.util.HashMap
 use java.awt.RenderingHints
 hintsMap! = new HashMap()
 hintsMap!.put(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION, RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BICUBIC)
 xImage!.scaleWithHints(width, height, hintsMap!)
 

Method to add a border to the BBXImage

Method to resize the BBXImage's canvas. If the canvas size is larger than the BBXImage's size, then the extra space will be filled with the specified color and the original image will be centered in the new canvas. If the canvas is smaller than the BBXImage then it will be centered and cropped to fit, resulting in the removal of the edges.

Method to add a watermark logo to the BBXImage

Method to add a drop shadow to the BBXImage

Method to adjust the brightness of the BBXImage

Method to filter the BBXImage and convert it to grayscale (completely desaturated)

Method to set the ImageIcon for the BBXImage

Method to add a reflection to the BBXImage

Method to add a watermark logo to the BBXImage
