Description
Summary:JAI Image I/O is an important adjunct to the Java Advanced Imaging API, as it is a pluggable framework for reading, writing and transcoding image data and metadata. Reader-writer plug-ins are supplied for the Bitmap (BMP), Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG), Revised Lossless JPEG (JPEG-LS), JPEG2000, Portable Network Graphics (PNG), Portable Anymap (PNM), Uncompressed raw image data (Raw), Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) and Wireless BMP (WBMP) image formats. Additionally a writer plug-in is supplied for the Graphics Interchange Format (GIF). These implementations of readers and writers are important to application developers in the medical, document imaging, and geospatial markets and not available elsewhere in forms compatible with the Java Image I/O Framework. SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sun Microsystems, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNW), the creator and leading advocate of Java(TM) technology, today announced that it has posted two new projects, Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) and JAI Image I/O Tools to java.net.
