QuickTime for Java

Imaging and Effects

The QuickTime for Java Application Framework provides a number of classes that handle the presentation of images within a Java display space. These classes provide utility methods that you can use to set transparent colors in images, apply visual effects, or create objects for handling sequences of images (such as slide shows). Other methods enable you to create QTDrawable objects that read image data from a file or load the data into memory.

This section shows you how to

draw an image file using the GraphicsImporterDrawer
create a java.awt.Image out of an image in QuickTime's format
use the QTImageDrawer class to render Java-painted content in a QuickTime graphics space
take advantage of QuickTime's visual effects architecture to apply transitions between two images
