ImageIO problems encoding jpeg

[Robert Larsen]

Hi group

I have some code that saves an image to a file using ImageIO. And it
works for all formats except jpeg. A scaled down version follows:

public void write(String filename) throws IOException {
int idx = filename.lastIn dexOf('.');
if (idx >= 0) {
File file = new File(filename);
String format = filename.substr ing(idx + 1).toLowerCase( );
ImageIO.write(i mage, format, file);
}
}

The image has been instanciated using:
image = new BufferedImage(w 0 ? w : 1, h 0 ? h : 1,
BufferedImage.T YPE_INT_ARGB);
....where 'w' is the width and 'h' is the height.

And given "img.png" I get a very nice PNG image. But "img.jpg" gives a
weird result.

The two images can be seen here (they are quite small):

http://194.255.21.180/img.png

http://194.255.21.180/img.jpg

Bigger versions can be seen here:

http://194.255.21.180/bigger.png

http://194.255.21.180/bigger.jpg

Firefox actually says the following when asked to display the JPEG:
<quote>
The image “http://194.255.21.180/img.jpg” cannot be displayed, because
it contains errors.
</quote>
....but The Gimp has no problem displaying it.

Has anybody seen this ?
Or do you know what I am doing wrong ?

Best,
Robert

AN SSCCE is generally more useful than a 'scaled
down' version.

It would also be preferable to make an image
within the app. (e.g. a GradientPaint with a grid
drawn over the top), then use that as the test
case to write.

I could not see the JPG. IE will not load it, and instead
displays the little 'missing' image box.

ditto.

Not yet.

As an aside, I do not believe JPEG supports any form of
transparency (Aplha). You might instead try..

Done:

import java.awt.image. BufferedImage;
import java.io.*;
import javax.imageio.* ;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class SSCCE extends JFrame {
private final static int WIDTH = 400;
private final static int HEIGHT = 400;

private BufferedImage image;

public SSCCE() {
super("Bad JPEG");
setDefaultClose Operation(JFram e.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
ImagePanel p = new ImagePanel(WIDT H, HEIGHT);
pack();
setSize(WIDTH + getInsets().lef t + getInsets().rig ht, HEIGHT +
getInsets().top + getInsets().bot tom);
getContentPane( ).add(p);
setVisible(true );
}

public void write(String filename) throws IOException {
int idx = filename.lastIn dexOf('.');
if (idx >= 0) {
File file = new File(filename);
String format = filename.substr ing(idx + 1).toLowerCase( );
ImageIO.write(i mage, format, file);
}
}

private class ImagePanel extends JPanel {
public ImagePanel(Dime nsion d) {
this(d.width, d.height);
}

public ImagePanel(int w, int h) {
setSize(w, h);
image = new BufferedImage(w 0 ? w : 1, h 0 ? h : 1,
BufferedImage.T YPE_INT_ARGB);
GradientPaint gp = new GradientPaint(0 , 0, Color.blue, w, h,
Color.green);
Graphics2D g2d = image.createGra phics();
g2d.setPaint(gp );
g2d.fillRect(0, 0, w, h);
gp = new GradientPaint(0 , 0, Color.green, w, h, Color.blue);
g2d.setPaint(gp );
g2d.fillArc(0, 0, w, h, 0, 360);
}

public void paintComponent( Graphics g) {
g.drawImage(ima ge, 0, 0, this);
}
}

public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
SSCCE sscce = new SSCCE();
for (String filename : args) {
System.out.prin tln("Saving to " + filename);
sscce.write(fil ename);
}
}
}


Usage:
robert-desktop:~/code/ToolboxNG $ javac SSCCE.java
robert-desktop:~/code/ToolboxNG $ java SSCCE test.png test.gif test.jpg
test.bmp
Saving to test.png
Saving to test.gif
Saving to test.jpg
Saving to test.bmp
robert-desktop:~/code/ToolboxNG $

This should pop up a window displaying the image as it should look.
The PNG and GIF look correct, but the JPG looks wrong (it CAN be
displayed using an image editor but Firefox and probably IE won't have
anything to do with it). The BMP file has a zero length.

Well...that actually did it (blush).
Thou I would've expected the encoder to ignore alpha if it didn't
support it.

Anyway...thanks a lot

Cool (that it's fixed, not that it's embarrassing).

Aaahh (reminiscing) the 'Age of Innocence' - I vaguely recall it. ;-)
