Interface TileCache

All Known Implementing Classes:
ConcurrentTileCache, ConcurrentTileCacheMultiMap, SunTileCache
public interface TileCache
A class implementing a caching mechanism for image tiles.

TileCache provides a mechanism by which an OpImage may cache its computed tiles. There may be multiple TileCaches used in an application up to the point of having a different TileCache for each OpImage.

The TileCache used for a particular OpImage is derived from the RenderingHints assigned to the associated imaging chain node. If the node is constructed using ImageN.create() and no TileCache is specified in the RenderingHints parameter, then one is derived from the RenderingHints associated with the instance of the ImageN class being used.

In the Sun reference implementation, the cache size is limited by the memory capacity, which is set to a default value at construction or subsequently using the setMemoryCapacity() method. The initial value may be obtained using getMemoryCapacity(). The tile capacity is not used as different images may have very different tile sizes so that this metric is not a particularly meaningful control of memory resource consumption in general.

    • setTileCapacity

      void setTileCapacity(int tileCapacity)
      Deprecated.
      as of ImageN 0.4.0.
      Sets the tile capacity to a desired number of tiles. If the capacity is smaller than the current capacity, tiles are flushed from the cache. It is legal to implement this method as a no-op.
      Parameters:
      tileCapacity - The new capacity, in tiles.

    • getTileCapacity

      int getTileCapacity()
      Deprecated.
      as of ImageN 0.4.0.
      Returns the tile capacity in tiles. It is legal to implement this method as a no-op which should be signaled by returning zero.

    • setMemoryCapacity

      void setMemoryCapacity(long memoryCapacity)
      Sets the memory capacity to a desired number of bytes. If the memory capacity is smaller than the amount of memory currently used by the cache, tiles are flushed until the TileCache's memory usage is less than memoryCapacity.
      Parameters:
      memoryCapacity - The new capacity, in bytes.

    • getMemoryCapacity

      long getMemoryCapacity()
      Returns the memory capacity in bytes.

    • setMemoryThreshold

      void setMemoryThreshold(float memoryThreshold)
      Sets the memoryThreshold value to a floating point number that ranges from 0.0 to 1.0. When the cache memory is full, the memory usage will be reduced to this fraction of the total cache memory capacity. For example, a value of .75 will cause 25% of the memory to be cleared, while retaining 75%.
      Parameters:
      memoryThreshold - . Retained fraction of memory
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the memoryThreshold is less than 0.0 or greater than 1.0

    • getMemoryThreshold

      float getMemoryThreshold()
      Returns the memory threshold, which is the fractional amount of cache memory to retain during tile removal.

    • setTileComparator

      void setTileComparator(Comparator comparator)
      Sets a Comparator which imposes an order on the CachedTiles stored in the TileCache. This ordering is used in memoryControl() to determine the sequence in which tiles will be removed from the TileCache so as to reduce the memory to the level given by the memory threshold. The Objects passed to the compare() method of the Comparator will be instances of CachedTile. CachedTiles will be removed from the TileCache in the ascending order imposed by this Comparator. If no Comparator is currently set, the TileCache should use an implementation-dependent default ordering. In the Sun Microsystems, Inc., implementation of TileCache, this ordering is the least recently used ordering, i.e., the tiles least recently used will be removed first by memoryControl().
      Parameters:
      comparator - A Comparator which orders the CachedTiles stored by the TileCache; if null an implementation-dependent algorithm will be used.

    • getTileComparator

      Comparator getTileComparator()
      Returns the Comparator currently set for use in ordering the CachedTiles stored by the TileCache.
      Returns:
      The tile Comparator or null if the implementation-dependent ordering algorithm is being used.
