Saving images to memory on the fly enhances the speed, usability and security of your client-server imaging application by eliminating the necessity of local drive access. Snowbound has expanded this capability in RasterMaster 8.0 to allow the saving of multi-page TIFF files to a byte array in Java. Here’s an example:
byte[] saveAs_Tiff_OutputByteArray(String filename)
{
Snowbnd snbd = new Snowbnd();
File input = new File(filename);
int pages = snbd.IMGLOW_get_pages(input.toString());
byte imagebytearray[] = new byte[(int)(input.length()*3)];//Three
times the size of the input image
int outputsize = 0;
for (int pg=0; pg<pages; pg++)
{
snbd.IMG_decompress_bitmap(input.toString(),pg); //Decompress each page
outputsize =
snbd.IMG_save_bitmap(imagebytearray,Snow.Defines.TIFF_G4_FAX);//Save to tmp
byte array
}
//Correct byte array size
byte imagedata[] = new byte[outputsize];
System.arraycopy(imagebytearray,0,imagedata,0,outputsize);
return imagedata; //corrected data
}
