This post explains how to do the gif, jpg, bmp, png image compression using JAI APIs.  We are not using image compression software but using open source Java Api’s to achieve compression.

The preferred method for reading an image file of any format into a RenderedImage is:

String filename = “// path and name of the file to be read,

that is on an accessible filesystem //”;

RenderedImage image = JAI.create(“fileload”, filename);

or:

URL url = “// URL of the remote image to be read //”;

RenderedImage image = JAI.create(“url”, url);

and for writing a RenderedImage to an image file in a format whose encoder is supported by an ancillary codec, using the default encoding algorithm, is:

RenderedImage image = “// the image to be stored //”;

String filename = “// path and name of the file to be writen //”;

String format = “// the format of the file //”;

RenderedOp op = JAI.create(“filestore”, image,

filename, format); Read more…
