ImGearMetadataLeaf Class Members
| ImageGearJava Project > com.accusoft.imagegear.core Package : ImGearMetadataLeaf Class |
The following tables list the members exposed by ImGearMetadataLeaf.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | ImGearMetadataLeaf 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) |
| nativeType | Specifies the type of data stored in a leaf, as it was stored in the image file or should be saved to the image file.
When metadata is loaded from a file, all leaves have this field set to explicit values. When the application creates a leaf, it can either specify an explicit NativeType value or use the default value com.accusoft.imagegear.formats.ImGearNativeDataTypes.UNKNOWN. At the time of image saving, most file formats ignore this field and use the file format's standard types for metadata tags. Two file formats take NativeType field into account:
|
| 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) |
| getData | Returns reference to opaque data stored in leaf. Type of object returned by this method depends on value of nativeType field.
Represents (meta) data assigned to metadata node as
Otherwise, an exception will be thrown. |
| getFormatName | Gets the name of the type of the file format to which metadata belongs.
|
| 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) |
| isIgnoredOnSave | Gets a value indicating whether current node should be ignored during page/document saving or not.
If this method returns true, data contained in ImGearMetadataLeaf is ignored during image saving and data from the medatada container (page or document) will be used instead. |
 | isValidDataObject | Indicates whether the data type of an object is valid (supported by metadata leaf). |
| setData | Sets reference to opaque data stored in leaf. Type of object returned by this method depends on value of nativeType field.
Represents (meta) data assigned to metadata node as
Otherwise, an exception will be thrown. |
| 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) |
