How to cast/convert a BufferedImage into an Image?

Question

I would like to convert a BufferedImage to an java.awt.Image .

My source-image is tif so I use JAI to read it as PlanarImage :

PlanarImage source = JAI.create("fileload", IMG_DIR + tagImgName);

I then save it as an objects attribute as a BufferedImage

tagImg = source.getAsBufferedImage();

For .pdf-Export (via iText) I need it as java.awt.Image

Thanks!

Answer 1

java.awt.image.BufferedImage is already a subclass of java.awt.Image , so you shouldn't need any casting or converting. You can use the BufferedImage in place of a Image.

You can do directly this:

Image tagImg = source.getAsBufferedImage();
// use tagImg with iText library here

假设你的意思java.awt.image.BufferedImage ，它已经子类java.awt.image.Image -所以你不需要做任何事情。
