21.9 java.awt.image.ImageProducer (JDK 1.0)

This interface defines the methods that any class that produces image data must define to enable communication with ImageConsumer classes. An ImageConsumer registers itself as interested in a producer's image by calling the addConsumer() method.

Most applications never need to use or implement this interface.

public abstract interface ImageProducer {
    // Public Instance Methods
            public abstract void addConsumer(ImageConsumer ic);
            public abstract boolean isConsumer(ImageConsumer ic);
            public abstract void removeConsumer(ImageConsumer ic);
            public abstract void requestTopDownLeftRightResend(ImageConsumer ic);
            public abstract void startProduction(ImageConsumer ic);
}
