Constructor Detail

ImageType

public ImageType()
          throws IOException,
                 UnknownHostException
Constructs a ImageType using ArcGIS Engine.

Throws:
IOException - if there are interop problems
UnknownHostException - if there are interop problems

ImageType

public ImageType(Object obj)
          throws IOException
Deprecated. As of ArcGIS 9.2, replaced by normal Java casts.
ImageType theImageType = (ImageType) obj;

Construct a ImageType using a reference to such an object returned from ArcGIS Engine or Server. This is semantically equivalent to casting obj to ImageType.

Parameters:
obj - an object returned from ArcGIS Engine or Server
Throws:
IOException - if there are interop problems
Method Detail

getClsid

public static String getClsid()
getClsid.


equals

public boolean equals(Object o)
Compare this object with another

Overrides:
equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()
the hashcode for this object

Overrides:
hashCode in class Object

getFormat

public int getFormat()
              throws IOException,
                     AutomationException
The image format.

Remarks

Supported image formats include: BMP, JPG, DIB, TIFF, PNG, PNG24, EMF, PS, PDF, AI, GIF, SVG and SVGZ. When a PNG24 image is requested from MapServer and in the same request specifies a transparent color, a 32-bit PNG is returned in order to support the transparency. The transparency is within the alpha channel and only supports only binary transparency.

Please note that optimized MapServices do not support the Adobe Illustrator (AI) format. However they additionally support the PNG32 image format with full alpha channel transparency support. PNG32 maintains transparency in the image that is set on the layer in the source map. To find out what image formats are supported by a map service, use the IMapServer2::ServiceConfigurationInfo property.

If SupportedImageFormatTypes is missing from ServiceConfigurationInfo, the MapService supports image formats mentioned in the first line.

The PNG32 image format is only supported by the ExportMapImage function on an optimized MapService. In order to maintain backward compatibility, the PNG32 format is not explicitly included in the esriImageFormat enum. To request the PNG32 format, cast the value 13 to type esriImageFormat in code section below.

Any export function, for both standard and optimized MapServer, that does not support PNG32 returns PNG24 when asked for this image type.
