## Class SampleModel

- java.lang.Object
- - java.awt.image.SampleModel

- Direct Known Subclasses:
    `ComponentSampleModel`, `MultiPixelPackedSampleModel`, `SinglePixelPackedSampleModel`

      public abstract class SampleModel
      extends Object

  This abstract class defines an interface for extracting samples of pixels in an image. All image data is expressed as a collection of pixels. Each pixel consists of a number of samples. A sample is a datum for one band of an image and a band consists of all samples of a particular type in an image. For example, a pixel might contain three samples representing its red, green and blue components. There are three bands in the image containing this pixel. One band consists of all the red samples from all pixels in the image. The second band consists of all the green samples and the remaining band consists of all of the blue samples. The pixel can be stored in various formats. For example, all samples from a particular band can be stored contiguously or all samples from a single pixel can be stored contiguously.

  Subclasses of SampleModel specify the types of samples they can represent (e.g. unsigned 8-bit byte, signed 16-bit short, etc.) and may specify how the samples are organized in memory. In the Java 2D(tm) API, built-in image processing operators may not operate on all possible sample types, but generally will work for unsigned integral samples of 16 bits or less. Some operators support a wider variety of sample types.

  A collection of pixels is represented as a Raster, which consists of a DataBuffer and a SampleModel. The SampleModel allows access to samples in the DataBuffer and may provide low-level information that a programmer can use to directly manipulate samples and pixels in the DataBuffer.

  This class is generally a fall back method for dealing with images. More efficient code will cast the SampleModel to the appropriate subclass and extract the information needed to directly manipulate pixels in the DataBuffer.

        `setPixel(int, int, int[], DataBuffer)`

    - #### getDataElements

          public abstract Object getDataElements​(int x,
                                                 int y,
                                                 Object obj,
                                                 DataBuffer data)

      Returns data for a single pixel in a primitive array of type TransferType. For image data supported by the Java 2D API, this will be one of DataBuffer.TYPE_BYTE, DataBuffer.TYPE_USHORT, DataBuffer.TYPE_INT, DataBuffer.TYPE_SHORT, DataBuffer.TYPE_FLOAT, or DataBuffer.TYPE_DOUBLE. Data may be returned in a packed format, thus increasing efficiency for data transfers. Generally, obj should be passed in as null, so that the Object will be created automatically and will be of the right primitive data type.

      The following code illustrates transferring data for one pixel from DataBuffer `db1`, whose storage layout is described by SampleModel `sm1`, to DataBuffer `db2`, whose storage layout is described by SampleModel `sm2`. The transfer will generally be more efficient than using getPixel/setPixel.

                 SampleModel sm1, sm2;
                 DataBuffer db1, db2;
                 sm2.setDataElements(x, y, sm1.getDataElements(x, y, null, db1), db2);

      Using getDataElements/setDataElements to transfer between two DataBuffer/SampleModel pairs is legitimate if the SampleModels have the same number of bands, corresponding bands have the same number of bits per sample, and the TransferTypes are the same.

      If obj is non-null, it should be a primitive array of type TransferType. Otherwise, a ClassCastException is thrown. An ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException may be thrown if the coordinates are not in bounds, or if obj is non-null and is not large enough to hold the pixel data.

      Parameters:
        `x` - The X coordinate of the pixel location.
        `y` - The Y coordinate of the pixel location.
        `obj` - If non-null, a primitive array in which to return the pixel data.
        `data` - The DataBuffer containing the image data.
      Returns:
        the data elements for the specified pixel.
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - if data is null.
        `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` - if the coordinates are not in bounds, or if obj is too small to hold the output.

      Returns the pixel data for the specified rectangle of pixels in a primitive array of type TransferType. For image data supported by the Java 2D API, this will be one of DataBuffer.TYPE_BYTE, DataBuffer.TYPE_USHORT, DataBuffer.TYPE_INT, DataBuffer.TYPE_SHORT, DataBuffer.TYPE_FLOAT, or DataBuffer.TYPE_DOUBLE. Data may be returned in a packed format, thus increasing efficiency for data transfers. Generally, obj should be passed in as null, so that the Object will be created automatically and will be of the right primitive data type.

      The following code illustrates transferring data for a rectangular region of pixels from DataBuffer `db1`, whose storage layout is described by SampleModel `sm1`, to DataBuffer `db2`, whose storage layout is described by SampleModel `sm2`. The transfer will generally be more efficient than using getPixels/setPixels.

                 SampleModel sm1, sm2;
                 DataBuffer db1, db2;
                 sm2.setDataElements(x, y, w, h, sm1.getDataElements(x, y, w,
                                     h, null, db1), db2);

      Using getDataElements/setDataElements to transfer between two DataBuffer/SampleModel pairs is legitimate if the SampleModels have the same number of bands, corresponding bands have the same number of bits per sample, and the TransferTypes are the same.

        `y` - The Y coordinate of the pixel location.
        `b` - The band to set.
        `s` - The input sample as an int.

      Sets a sample in the specified band for the pixel located at (x,y) in the DataBuffer using a float for input. The default implementation of this method casts the input float sample to an int and then calls the `setSample(int, int, int, DataBuffer)` method using that int value. ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException may be thrown if the coordinates are not in bounds.
      Parameters:
        `x` - The X coordinate of the pixel location.
        `y` - The Y coordinate of the pixel location.
        `b` - The band to set.
        `s` - The input sample as a float.
        `data` - The DataBuffer containing the image data.
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - if data is null.
        `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` - if the coordinates or the band index are not in bounds.

      Sets a sample in the specified band for the pixel located at (x,y) in the DataBuffer using a double for input. The default implementation of this method casts the input double sample to an int and then calls the `setSample(int, int, int, DataBuffer)` method using that int value. ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException may be thrown if the coordinates are not in bounds.
      Parameters:
        `x` - The X coordinate of the pixel location.
        `y` - The Y coordinate of the pixel location.
