Provides classes and interfaces for producing
rendering-independent images.
  
  
    Interfaces
    
    
  
        
              | ContextualRenderedImageFactory | 
              ContextualRenderedImageFactory provides an interface for the
 functionality that may differ between instances of
 RenderableImageOp.  | 
          
        
              | RenderableImage | 
              A RenderableImage is a common interface for rendering-independent
 images (a notion which subsumes resolution independence).  | 
          
        
              | RenderedImageFactory | 
              The RenderedImageFactory interface (often abbreviated RIF) is
 intended to be implemented by classes that wish to act as factories
 to produce different renderings, for example by executing a series
 of BufferedImageOps on a set of sources, depending on a specific
 set of parameters, properties, and rendering hints.  | 
          
  
     
  
  
    Classes
    
    
  
        
              | ParameterBlock | 
              A ParameterBlock encapsulates all the information about sources and
 parameters (Objects) required by a RenderableImageOp, or other
 classes that process images.  | 
          
        
              | RenderableImageOp | 
              This class handles the renderable aspects of an operation with help
 from its associated instance of a ContextualRenderedImageFactory.  | 
          
        
              | RenderableImageProducer | 
              An adapter class that implements ImageProducer to allow the
 asynchronous production of a RenderableImage.  | 
          
        
              | RenderContext | 
              A RenderContext encapsulates the information needed to produce a
 specific rendering from a RenderableImage.  |
