Enum IF

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<IF>
    public enum IF
extends java.lang.Enum<IF>
    An enumeration of the primary image-types available on the internet.

    This is just an enumerated-type used to ensure proper parameter-requests when downloading images. The type provides a simple means for storing words such as 'jpg,' 'png,' 'gif,' etc... when attempting to download images.

        public static final IF JPG
        Used to indicate a picture using the common '.jpg' image format. According to a Yahoo! Search link:

        The JPEG file extension is used interchangeably with JPG. JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group who created the standard. JPG files have 2 sub-formats, JPG/ Exif (often used in digital cameras and photographic equipment), and JPG/ JFIF (often used on the World Wide Web).

        This field is always just null, except for the case of the 'JPG' Enumeration Constant. For that Image-Format this simply evaluates to the String 'jpeg'.

        public static final java.util.regex.Pattern B64_INIT_STRING
        This will parse a 'Base64' String into two groups using Java's RegEx Tools.


        Example:
         import java.util.regex.Matcher;
 ...
 
 Matcher m = IF.B64_INIT_STRING.matcher(base64String);
 if (m.find())
 { ... }


        1. m.group(1) => Image Encoding Type-String ("gif", "jpg", etc..)

        2. m.gropu(2) => Base 64 Encoded Image-String

        public static IF[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows: 
        for (IF c : IF.values())
    System.out.println(c);
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

        public static IF valueOf​(java.lang.String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:

        public static IF getGuess​(java.lang.String uriStr)
        This will extract the file-extension from an image URL. Not all images on the internet have URL's that end with the actual image-file-type. In that case, or in the case that the 'uriStr' is a pointer to a non-image-file, 'null' will be returned.
        Parameters:
        uriStr - Is the uri or File-Name of an image.
        Returns:
        If extension has a file-extension that is listed in the IF[] Array - that file-extension will be returned, otherwise 'null' will be returned.
        Code:
        Exact Method Body:
         if (uriStr == null) return null;

 int pos = uriStr.lastIndexOf(".");

 if (pos == -1) return null;
 if (pos == uriStr.length() - 1) return null;

 String s = uriStr.substring(pos + 1).toLowerCase().trim();

 // The following array is a private & static array defined above
 // NOTE: private static final IF[] arr = { JPG, GIF, BMP, PNG };

 for (int i=0; i < arr.length; i++)

        public static IF guessOrThrow​(java.lang.String uriStr)
        Invokes getGuess(String), and returns the results - unless the returned result would be null, in which case a UnrecognizedImageExtException is thrown instead.
        Parameters:
        uriStr - Is the uri or File-Name of the image.
        Returns:
        The Image-Format of this Image, based on it's File-Name
        Throws:
        UnrecognizedImageExtException - If the Image-Type cannot be determined (does not match any) based on its File-Name Extension. ('.jpg', '.png', '.gif' etc...)
        Code:
        Exact Method Body:

        This will retrieve the image name from a java.net.URL object.
        Parameters:
        url - The url of the image.
        Returns:

        public static Ret2<java.awt.image.BufferedImage,​IF> decodeBase64ToImage​
            (java.lang.String base64EncodedImageWithFormat)
        This will retrieve a Buffered Image from a String retrieved from a string that follows this format below. This is the format usually found inside HTML Image Tags.

        SPECIFICALLY: <IMG SRC="data:image/{png or gif or jpg etc};base64,...">

        The ellipsis (...) above represents the actual Base-64 encoded String. Many web-sites return HTML image tags with the actual picture/image encoded into a String and saved inside the 'SRC' attribute. This method will decode that image-as-a-String into a java.awt.image.BufferedImage
        Parameters:
        base64EncodedImageWithFormat - The best way to obtain this String is to use the command [String encoded = imageTag.AV("src"); ], and pass this variable 'encoded' to this parameter. It is important to note that variable 'imageTag' must be a public class TagNode, and that TagNode must:

        • Have public final String tok equal to 'img'

        • The <IMG> represented must have a SRC="..." which contains a Base-64 encoded image.
        Returns:
        A decoded image that can be saved to file, and an instance of IF that identifies what type of image was specified.

        Basic: Uses "The Base64 Alphabet" as specified in Table 1 of RFC 4648 and RFC 2045 for encoding and decoding operation. The encoder does not add any line feed (line separator) character. The decoder rejects data that contains characters outside the base64 alphabet.
