## 21.7 java.awt.image.ImageFilter (JDK 1.0)

###

This class is used in conjunction with a `FilteredImageSource`. It accepts image data through the `ImageConsumer` interface and passes it on to an `ImageConsumer` specified by the controlling `FilteredImageSource`. `ImageFilter` is the superclass of all image filters, and performs no filtering itself. You must subclass it to perform the desired filtering. See `CropImageFilter` and `RGBImageFilter`. The `ImageFilter` methods are the `ImageConsumer` methods invoked by an `ImageProducer`. You should not call them directly.

See `FilteredImageSource` for an example of using an `ImageFilter`.

    public class ImageFilter extends Object implements ImageConsumer, Cloneable {
        // Default Constructor: public ImageFilter()
        // Protected Instance Variables
                protected ImageConsumer consumer;
        // Public Instance Methods
                public Object clone();  // Overrides Object
                public ImageFilter getFilterInstance(ImageConsumer ic);
                public void imageComplete(int status);  // From ImageConsumer
                public void resendTopDownLeftRight(ImageProducer ip);
                public void setColorModel(ColorModel model);  // From ImageConsumer
                public void setDimensions(int width, int height);  // From ImageConsumer
                public void setHints(int hints);  // From ImageConsumer
                public void setPixels(int x, int y, int w, int h, ColorModel model,
                public void setPixels'u'byte[] pixels, int off, int scansize);  // From ImageConsumer
                public void setPixels(int x, int y, int w, int h, ColorModel model,
                public void setPixels'u'int[] pixels, int off, int scansize);  // From ImageConsumer
                public void setProperties(Hashtable props);  // From ImageConsumer
    }

### Extended By:
