ImageInfo (The Adobe AEM Quickstart and Web Application.)

java.lang.Object
- com.day.cq.dam.handler.standard.helper.imageinfo.ImageInfo

```
public class ImageInfo
extends java.lang.Object
```
Get file format, image resolution, number of bits per pixel and optionally number of images, comments and physical resolution from JPEG, GIF, BMP, PCX, PNG, IFF, RAS, PBM, PGM, PPM and PSD files (or input streams).
Use the class like this:
```
 ImageInfo ii = new ImageInfo();
 ii.setInput(in); // in can be InputStream or RandomAccessFile
 ii.setDetermineImageNumber(true); // default is false
 ii.setCollectComments(true); // default is false
 if (!ii.check()) {
   System.err.println("Not a supported image file format.");
   return;
 }
 System.out.println(ii.getFormatName() + ", " + ii.getMimeType() +
   ", " + ii.getWidth() + " x " + ii.getHeight() + " pixels, " +
   ii.getBitsPerPixel() + " bits per pixel, " + ii.getNumberOfImages() +
   " image(s), " + ii.getNumberOfComments() + " comment(s).");
  // there are other properties, check out the API documentation
 
```
You can also use this class as a command line program. Call it with a number of image file names and URLs as parameters:
```
   java ImageInfo *.jpg *.png *.gif http://somesite.tld/image.jpg
 
```
or call it without parameters and pipe data to it:
```
   java ImageInfo < image.jpg
 
```
Known limitations:
- When the determination of the number of images is turned off, GIF bits per pixel are only read from the global header. For some GIFs, local palettes change this to a typically larger value. To be certain to get the correct color depth, call setDetermineImageNumber(true) before calling check(). The complete scan over the GIF file will take additional time.
- Transparency information is not included in the bits per pixel count. Actually, it was my decision not to include those bits, so it's a feature! ;-)
Requirements:
- Java 1.1 or higher

History:
- 2001-08-24 Initial version.
- 2001-10-13 Added support for the file formats BMP and PCX.
- 2001-10-16 Fixed bug in read(int[], int, int) that returned
- 2002-01-22 Added support for file formats Amiga IFF and Sun Raster (RAS).
- 2002-01-24 Added support for file formats Portable Bitmap / Graymap / Pixmap (PBM, PGM, PPM) and Adobe Photoshop (PSD). Added new method getMimeType() to return the MIME type associated with a particular file format.
- 2002-03-15 Added support to recognize number of images in file. Only works with GIF. Use setDetermineImageNumber(boolean) with true as argument to identify animated GIFs (getNumberOfImages() will return a value larger than 1).
- 2002-04-10 Fixed a bug in the feature 'determine number of images in animated GIF' introduced with version 1.1. Thanks to Marcelo P. Lima for sending in the bug report. Released as 1.1.1.
- 2002-04-18 Added setCollectComments(boolean). That new method lets the user specify whether textual comments are to be stored in an internal list when encountered in an input image file / stream. Added two methods to return the physical width and height of the image in dpi: getPhysicalWidthDpi() and getPhysicalHeightDpi(). If the physical resolution could not be retrieved, these methods return -1.
- 2002-04-23 Added support for the new properties physical resolution and comments for some formats. Released as 1.2.
- 2002-06-17 Added support for SWF, sent in by Michael Aird. Changed checkJpeg() so that other APP markers than APP0 will not lead to a failure anymore. Released as 1.3.
- 2003-07-28 Bug fix - skip method now takes return values into consideration. Less bytes than necessary may have been skipped, leading to flaws in the retrieved information in some cases. Thanks to Bernard Bernstein for pointing that out. Released as 1.4.
- 2004-02-29 Added support for recognizing progressive JPEG and interlaced PNG and GIF. A new method isProgressive() returns whether ImageInfo has found that the storage type is progressive (or interlaced). Thanks to Joe Germuska for suggesting the feature. Bug fix: BMP physical resolution is now correctly determined. Released as 1.5.
- 2004-11-30 Bug fix: recognizing progressive GIFs (interlaced in GIF terminology) did not work (thanks to Franz Jeitler for pointing this out). Now it should work, but only if the number of images is determined. This is because information on interlacing is stored in a local image header. In theory, different images could be stored interlaced and non-interlaced in one file. However, I think that's unlikely. Right now, the last image in the GIF file that is examined by ImageInfo is used for the "progressive" status.
- 2005-01-02 Some code clean up (unused methods and variables commented out, missing javadoc comments, etc.). Thanks to George Sexton for a long list. Removed usage of Boolean.toString because it's a Java 1.4+ feature (thanks to Gregor Dupont). Changed delimiter character in compact output from semicolon to tabulator (for better integration with cut(1) and other Unix tools). Added some points to the 'Known issues' section of the website. Released as 1.6.
- 2005-07-26 Removed code to identify Flash (SWF) files. Has repeatedly led to problems and support requests, and I don't know the format and don't have the time and interest to fix it myself. I repeatedly included fixes by others which didn't work for some people. I give up on SWF. Please do not contact me about it anymore. Set package of ImageInfo class to org.devlib.schmidt.imageinfo (a package was repeatedly requested by some users). Released as 1.7.

    Returns:
    
    true for progressive/interlaced, false otherwise
  - main
```
public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)
```
    To use this class as a command line application, give it either some file names as parameters (information on them will be printed to standard output, one line per file) or call it with no parameters. It will then check data given to it via standard input.
    
    Parameters:
    
    args - the program arguments which must be file names
  - setCollectComments
```
public void setCollectComments(boolean newValue)
```
    Specify whether textual comments are supposed to be extracted from input. Default is false. If enabled, comments will be added to an internal list.
    
    Parameters:
    
    newValue - if true, this class will read comments
    
    See Also:
    
    getNumberOfComments(), getComment(int)
  - setDetermineImageNumber
```
public void setDetermineImageNumber(boolean newValue)
```
    Specify whether the number of images in a file is to be determined - default is false. This is a special option because some file formats require running over the entire file to find out the number of images, a rather time-consuming task. Not all file formats support more than one image. If this method is called with true as argument, the actual number of images can be queried via getNumberOfImages() after a successful call to check().
    
    Parameters:
    
    newValue - will the number of images be determined?
    
    See Also:
    
    getNumberOfImages()
  - setInput
```
public void setInput(java.io.DataInput dataInput)
```
    Set the input stream to the argument stream (or file). Note that RandomAccessFile implements DataInput.
    
    Parameters:
    
    dataInput - the input stream to read from
  - setInput
```
public void setInput(java.io.InputStream inputStream)
```
    Set the input stream to the argument stream (or file).
    
    Parameters:
    
    inputStream - the input stream to read from
