Which Image File Is Not Supported By Java?

The TiledImage is not supported directly as it does not implement the java.io.Serializable interface. You may however construct a SerializableRenderedImage from a TiledImage. The some codec classes supported with Java Advanced Imaging like BMP, GIF, FlashPix, JPEG, PNG, PNM, TIFF, and WBMP. The codec classes are not a committed part of the Java Advanced Imaging API, and that there is a separate Java Image File I/O package. The two file formats which support short integer (16-bit) data in the file I/O package supplied with Java Advanced Imaging are Portable Network Graphics (PNG) and TIFF. There is support in the codec APIs for reading multi-image files, and the TIFF codec was enhanced in java 1.1 to support both reading and writing of multi-image files. LZW compressed format (encoding) is not supported for the usual reason. Planar format is not supported for decoding or encoding. The TIFF reader reads only the tiles which overlap the data rectangle requested by operations which are "downstream" in the imaging chain. Consequently for tiled TIFF the tiles are not read from the TIFF disk image until such time as their geometric region is needed to complete processing of the chain for which they are the data source.
