The API is intended to
be used in a variety of contexts. Client-side applications may use
it to load image data from local disk files or across the network.
Server-side applications may use it to generate images dynamically
in response to client requests, for example by using the Servlet
API. The Image I/O API may be used in conjunction with other APIs
such as Java Advanced Imaging, Java3D, and the Java Media Framework
in order to build sophisticated multimedia applications. CONTENTS | PREV | NEXT
