This supplement to Chapter 11 has two main parts. The first part examines image handling and processing with the Java 2D API. We previously discussed Java 2D graphics drawing techniques in the Chapter 6: Supplements section. Java 2D also includes extensive imaging tools.

The second part looks at the problem of flicker in animations on AWT components. Three techniques are discussed that reduce the flickering. (The most effective technque - double buffering - is used by default when drawing on Swing components so flicker is not such a problem with Swing animations.)

1. Java 2D Imaging:
   • BufferedImage - description of the Image subclass that offers far more sophisticated and elaborate features.
   • Creating, Saving, Reading Images - create instances of BufferedImage, then use ImageIO class methods to save and read files in standard image formats.
     
   • Pixels & BufferedImage - accessing the pixels of a BufferedImage, modifying them and creating new images and animations from them.
