ImGearMetadataHead Class Members
| ImageGearJava Project > com.accusoft.imagegear.core Package : ImGearMetadataHead Class |
The following tables list the members exposed by ImGearMetadataHead.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | ImGearMetadataHead Constructor | Overloaded. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | format | Identifier of the File format to which the metadata belongs.
It is possible for a metadata tree to contain subtrees defined in another metadata format. For example, JPEG metadata tree may contain subtrees containing EXIF or IPTC metadata. com.accusoft.imagegear.formats.ImGearFormats.UNKNOWN means custom (unknown) format. com.accusoft.imagegear.formats.ImGearMetadataFormats (Inherited from com.accusoft.imagegear.core.ImGearMetadataNode) |
| tag | Represents identifier of metadata node for particular file format.
Identifies what kind of data is stored in metadata node. Specific for particular file format. Values for the tags are taken from tag list of file formats, represented in ImageGear for Java as |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | name | Returns string name of tag. (Inherited from com.accusoft.imagegear.core.ImGearMetadataNode) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | clone | Creates a new object that is a copy of the current instance. |
| compareTo | Compares the current instance with another object of the same type. (Inherited from com.accusoft.imagegear.core.ImGearMetadataNode) |
| getAccessor | get accessor to Simplified Metadata for specified metadata Format. |
| getChild | Returns reference to child node.
Value being assigned must be stand-alone ( ImGearMetadataNode.getParent == null) and not an instance of ImGearMetadataHead class. |
| getCommon | Gets access to metadata that is common for all format filters.
This method provides access to metadata that is common for all format filters. |
| getEXIF | Returns simplified access to EXIF metadata.
The user does not need to know exact location of EXIF metadata in the metadata tree. If EXIF metadata doesn't exist in the metadata tree, the method returns null. You can add EXIF metadata to a metadata tree, if it was not present, by creating a new instance of com.accusoft.imagegear.formats.exif.ImGearEXIFMetadata class and assigning it using setEXIF method. However, this only allowed if metadata tree's target format is compatible with EXIF. Currently, two target formats support EXIF metadata: TIFF and JPEG. |
| getFormatName | Gets the name of the type of the file format to which metadata belongs.
|
| getIPTC | Returns simplified access to IPTC metadata.
The user does not need to know exact location of IPTC metadata in the metadata tree. If IPTC metadata doesn't exist in the metadata tree, the method returns null. You can add IPTC metadata to a metadata tree, if it was not present, by creating a new instance of com.accusoft.imagegear.formats.iptc.ImGearIPTCMetadata class and assigning it using setIPTC method. However, this only allowed if metadata tree's target format is compatible with IPTC. Currently, two target formats support IPTC metadata: TIFF and JPEG. |
| getName | Returns returns string name of tag.
Returns tag name from the internal dictionary, or empty string if tag is unknown in ImageGear for Java. (Inherited from com.accusoft.imagegear.core.ImGearMetadataNode) |
| getParent | Gets reference to parent node.
Specifies reference to parent node in metadata tree. This method may return null. Accordingly, the instance is stand-alone (not attached), or otherwise, has special type like ImGearMetadataHead. (Inherited from com.accusoft.imagegear.core.ImGearMetadataNode) |
| getTargetFormat | Returns target format of the page metadata. |
| getTIFF | Returns simplified access to TIFF metadata.
The user does not need to know exact location of TIFF metadata in the metadata tree. If TIFF metadata doesn't exist in the metadata tree, the method returns null. You can add TIFF metadata to a metadata tree, if it was not present, by creating a new instance of com.accusoft.imagegear.formats.tif.ImGearTIFFMetadata class and assigning it using setTIFF method. However, this only allowed if metadata tree's target format is compatible with TIFF. Currently, two target formats support TIFF metadata: TIFF and JPEG. |
| getXMP | Returns simplified access to XMP metadata.
The method returns null if XMP metadata doesn't exist in the metadata tree. You can add XMP metadata to a metadata tree, if it is not present, by creating a new instance of com.accusoft.imagegear.formats.xmp.ImGearXMPMetadataRoot class and assigning it using setXMP method. However, this is only allowed if metadata tree's target format is compatible with XMP. Currently, the following target formats support XMP metadata: TIFF, JPEG, PSD, PDF, PS |
| setAccessor | Set accessor to Simplified Metadata for spesified metadata Format. |
| setChild | Sets reference to child node.
Value being assigned must be stand-alone ( ImGearMetadataNode.getParent == null) and not an instance of ImGearMetadataHead class. |
| setEXIF | Sets simplified access to EXIF metadata.
The user does not need to know exact location of EXIF metadata in the metadata tree. If EXIF metadata doesn't exist in the metadata tree, the method returns null. You can add EXIF metadata to a metadata tree, if it was not present, by creating a new instance of com.accusoft.imagegear.formats.exif.ImGearEXIFMetadata class and assigning it using setEXIF method. However, this only allowed if metadata tree's target format is compatible with EXIF. Currently, two target formats support EXIF metadata: TIFF and JPEG. |
| setIPTC | Sets simplified access to IPTC metadata.
The user does not need to know exact location of IPTC metadata in the metadata tree. If IPTC metadata doesn't exist in the metadata tree, the method returns null. You can add IPTC metadata to a metadata tree, if it was not present, by creating a new instance of com.accusoft.imagegear.formats.iptc.ImGearIPTCMetadata class and assigning it using setIPTC method. However, this only allowed if metadata tree's target format is compatible with IPTC. Currently, two target formats support IPTC metadata: TIFF and JPEG. |
| setName | Sets returns string name of tag.
Returns tag name from the internal dictionary, or empty string if tag is unknown in ImageGear for Java. (Inherited from com.accusoft.imagegear.core.ImGearMetadataNode) |
| setTargetFormat | Sets target format of the page metadata. |
| setTIFF | Sets simplified access to TIFF metadata.
The user does not need to know exact location of TIFF metadata in the metadata tree. If TIFF metadata doesn't exist in the metadata tree, the method returns null. You can add TIFF metadata to a metadata tree, if it was not present, by creating a new instance of com.accusoft.imagegear.formats.tif.ImGearTIFFMetadata class and assigning it using setTIFF method. However, this only allowed if metadata tree's target format is compatible with TIFF. Currently, two target formats support TIFF metadata: TIFF and JPEG. |
| setXMP | Sets simplified access to XMP metadata.
The method returns null if XMP metadata doesn't exist in the metadata tree. You can add XMP metadata to a metadata tree, if it is not present, by creating a new instance of com.accusoft.imagegear.formats.xmp.ImGearXMPMetadataRoot class and assigning it using setXMP method. However, this is only allowed if metadata tree's target format is compatible with XMP. Currently, the following target formats support XMP metadata: TIFF, JPEG, PSD, PDF, PS |
