## Package com.bbn.openmap.image Description

This package has classes that provide image creation and manipulation capabilities. The Helper classes are for managing java images and their pixels. The other classes can be used to work with the MapBean to create image files.

To create image files, you'll want to focus on the ImageServer, ImageReceiver and ImageGenerator classes.

The ImageGenerator has the smarts to control the layers in a MapBean, managing the multithreaded nature of them, to get them to draw their graphics into an image for a given projection. It accepts an array of layers, a projection, and a ImageReadyListener to notify when the java.awt.Image is ready. The ImageReadyListener handles the formatting of the java.awt.Image into a standard image format - JPEG, GIF, etc. Caution: The ImageGenerator has been found to have timing issues under loading, and some layers, for some reason, don't always make it to the final image. The ImageServer utilizes the Layers' ProjectionPainter interface methods to provide a reliable path for map image creation.

The ImageServer is a manager class that prepares layers for the ImageGenerator to use. The ImageServer has several forms of createImage() methods, which accept projection requests, and then, either cycle through the ImageGenerator to create map images, or cycle through the Layers using their ProjectionPainter interface method. With the former, the ImageServer also calls the appropriate ImageReceiver for each projection request to hand over the formatted image bytes when the image is created.

The MapRequestHandler is an extended ImageServer with methods that parse OpenGIS Web Mapping Server format requests, and create images in response to those requests.
