    • getTileGridXOffset

      int getTileGridXOffset()
      Returns the X offset of the tile grid relative to the origin, i.e., the X coordinate of the upper-left pixel of tile (0, 0). (Note that tile (0, 0) may not actually exist.)
      Returns:
      the X offset of the tile grid relative to the origin.

    • getTileGridYOffset

      int getTileGridYOffset()
      Returns the Y offset of the tile grid relative to the origin, i.e., the Y coordinate of the upper-left pixel of tile (0, 0). (Note that tile (0, 0) may not actually exist.)

      the Y offset of the tile grid relative to the origin.

    • getTile

      Raster getTile​(int tileX, int tileY)
      Returns tile (tileX, tileY). Note that tileX and tileY are indices into the tile array, not pixel locations. The Raster that is returned is live and will be updated if the image is changed.
      Parameters:
      tileX - the X index of the requested tile in the tile array
      tileY - the Y index of the requested tile in the tile array
      Returns:
      the tile given the specified indices.

    • getData

      Raster getData()
      Returns the image as one large tile (for tile based images this will require fetching the whole image and copying the image data over). The Raster returned is a copy of the image data and will not be updated if the image is changed.
      Returns:
      the image as one large tile.

    • getData

      Raster getData​(Rectangle rect)
      Computes and returns an arbitrary region of the RenderedImage. The Raster returned is a copy of the image data and will not be updated if the image is changed.
      Parameters:
      rect - the region of the RenderedImage to be returned.
      Returns:
      the region of the RenderedImage indicated by the specified Rectangle.

    • copyData

      WritableRaster copyData​(WritableRaster raster)
      Computes an arbitrary rectangular region of the RenderedImage and copies it into a caller-supplied WritableRaster. The region to be computed is determined from the bounds of the supplied WritableRaster. The supplied WritableRaster must have a SampleModel that is compatible with this image. If raster is null, an appropriate WritableRaster is created.
      Parameters:
      raster - a WritableRaster to hold the returned portion of the image, or null.
      Returns:
      a reference to the supplied or created WritableRaster.
