Method Detail

getMimeTypeByExtension

public static String getMimeTypeByExtension(String ext)

Returns the mimetype using ServletContext.getServletContext which returns the servlet context

Parameters:

ext - A String containing the extension.

Returns:

The mimetype.

getMimeTypeByFileName

public static String getMimeTypeByFileName(String fileName)

getAlias

public static String getAlias(String a)

MMBase has some abreviations to convert commands, like 's' for 'geometry'. These are treated here.

Parameters:

a - alias

Returns:

actual convert parameter name for alias.

parseTemplate

public static List parseTemplate(String template)

Parses the 'image conversion template' to a List. I.e. it break it up in substrings, with '+' delimiter. However a + char does not count if it is somewhere between brackets (). Brackets nor +-chars count if they are in quotes (single or double)

Since:

MMBase-1.7

removeSurroundingQuotes

protected static void removeSurroundingQuotes(StringBuffer buf)

Just a utitility function, used by the function above.

Since:

MMBase-1.7

unparseTemplate

public static String unparseTemplate(List params)

Only used in legacy-support and perhaps debug code.

predictDimension

public static Dimension predictDimension(Dimension originalSize,
                                         List params)

Predict the size of a image after converting it with the given parameters. This will not actually trigger a conversion, but only calculate the dimension of the result, so only involves some basic arithmetic and string-parsing. Most transformations which alter the dimension of an image are supported: geometry, border, rotate, part. Probably because of different rounding strategies, there is sometimes a difference of one or two pixels beteen the prediction and/or the result of ImageMagick and/or JAI.

predictFileSize

public static int predictFileSize(Dimension originalDimension,
                                  int originalFileSize,
                                  Dimension predictedDimension)

Tries to predict the new file-size after conversion. The result (in the current implementation) is very unreliable, because it assumes that the file-size is proportional to the area.

parseCKey

public static Imaging.CKey parseCKey(String ckey)

Parses a ckey String into a CKey structure.

main

public static void main(String[] args)

main is only for testing.
