Interface ImageSlicer

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractBaseSlicer, SlicerH, SlicerV

public interface ImageSlicer

slices image into pieces. utilises iterator pattern, concrete implementations are provided for horizontal and vertical slicing

Method Summary

boolean	hasNext() whether next slice is available
Image	next() retrieve next slice and advance
ImageSlicer	slice(int fromY) start horizontal slicing iteration from certain position empty row means new image
ImageSlicer	slice(int fromY, int tolerance) start horizontal slicing with defined tolerance

Method Detail

slice

ImageSlicer slice(int fromY)

start horizontal slicing iteration from certain position empty row means new image

Parameters:

fromY - starting Y

slice

ImageSlicer slice(int fromY,
                  int tolerance)

start horizontal slicing with defined tolerance

Parameters:

fromY - starting position

tolerance - amount of empty rows allowed inside consecutive image

hasNext

boolean hasNext()

whether next slice is available

Returns:

availability of next slice

next

Image next()

retrieve next slice and advance

Returns:

next image slice
