error creating an ImageOutputStream

in Programming Questions • 1 year ago

hello everyone.

i'm doing

Copy code

import javax.imageio.*;

and want to create an ImageOutputStream via

Copy code

ByteArrayOutputStream baos= new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ImageOutputStream ios= ImageIO.createImageOutputStream(baos);

but i get a cannot find a class or type named "ImageOutputStream" error from processing. do i have to use a certain JDK to get ImageOutputStreams?

btw, i'm using processing 2.0a8.

strangely that seems to work. i don't quite get how this is different from .*, but nevermeind. now the thing is giving me some grief about unhandled exceptions, but i'll figure that out.

thank you very much.

"*" makes all the classes of a package visible but it doesn't apply for subpackages.
So you would need to import both, javax.imageio.* and javax.imageio.stream.*

i see. that is rather unexpected behaviour. i haven't touched native java in forever, so thanks again.
