    • updateContainer

      public void updateContainer(Object c)
      Description copied from interface: NativeType
      This method is used by an accessor (e.g., a Cursor) to request an update of the current data array.

      As an example consider a CellCursor moving on a CellImg. The cursor maintains a NativeType which provides access to the image data. When the cursor moves from one cell to the next, the underlying data array of the NativeType must be switched to the data array of the new cell.

      To achieve this, the CellCursor calls updateContainer() with itself as the argument. updateContainer() in turn will call NativeImg.update(Object) on it's container, passing along the reference to the cursor. In this example, the container would be a CellImg. While the NativeType does not know about the type of the cursor, the container does. CellImg knows that it is passed a CellCursor instance, which can be used to figure out the current cell and the underlying data array, which is then returned to the NativeType.

      The idea behind this concept is maybe not obvious. The NativeType knows which basic type is used (float, int, byte, ...). However, it does not know how the data is stored (ArrayImg, CellImg, ...). This prevents the need for multiple implementations of NativeType .

      Specified by:
      updateContainer in interface NativeType<T extends AbstractBitType<T>>
      Parameters:
      c - reference to an accessor which can be passed on to the container (which will know what to do with it).

    • index

      public Index index()
      Description copied from interface: NativeType
      Get the (modifiable) index into the current data array. The returned instance will always be the same for the same Type.
      Specified by:
      index in interface NativeType<T extends AbstractBitType<T>>

    • getNativeTypeFactory

      public abstract NativeTypeFactory<T, LongAccess> getNativeTypeFactory()
      Specified by:
      getNativeTypeFactory in interface NativeType<T extends AbstractBitType<T>>

    • getEntitiesPerPixel

      public Fraction getEntitiesPerPixel()
      Description copied from interface: NativeType
      Get the number of entities in the storage array required to store one pixel value. A pixel value may be spread over several or less than one entity. For example, a complex number may require 2 entries of a float[] array to store one pixel. Or a 12-bit type might need 12/64th entries of a long[] array.
      Specified by:
      getEntitiesPerPixel in interface NativeType<T extends AbstractBitType<T>>
      Returns:
      the number of storage type entities required to store one pixel value.
