Hi Deepak, To be able write GIF files you must have recent beta of jdk 6.0 You can download it from http://download.java.net/jdk6/binaries/.
If using jdk 6.0 is not option for you then you might consider using JAI plugins. For more information on JAI have a look at https://jai-imageio.dev.java.net/. Thanks, Andrew Deepak Jain wrote:
Hi Andrew, Bingo it worked, But I need to save the file as jpeg instead of gif. Any ideas how can I save it as gif file. Thanks Deepak On 6/14/06, *Deepak Jain* <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: Hi Andrew, Thanks for the reply , I am using jdk 1.5.0_06. Here are the steps I tried 1. First I created the BufferedImage object BufferedImage buffered_image = new BufferedImage (600, 300, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB); 2. Now I create a Graphics2D object fromt the buffer so that I can write it into this bufferedImage object. Graphics2D buf_image_graphics = buffered_image.createGraphics (); 3. Now once I have the graphics2d object I call drawImage() method using it and construct a composite image. Once done drawing, I need write the constructed composite image in the buffer object it to the file. 4.Now I create a new file using File f = new File ("c:\\anImage.gif"); and write BufferedImage object into the file using try { ImageIO.write (buffered_image, "gif", f); } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } After excuting the above progrm, A new file c:\\anImage.gif is created but this file is empty? I dont know where did I go wrong. Any help is appreciated.

ImageIO plugin for writing GIF images is available only starting from jdk 6.0 b39. If you are using older version please try latest jdk 6.0 beta. Also note that GIF image format directly supports only images with color palette. You are using TYPE_INT_RGB image that does not have palette. In such case palette will be constructed automatically but such palette might be not ideal especially if original image has more than 256 colors. If GIF is not strict requirement for you I'd suggest to use PNG. It should work fine with your images (without any quality issues) and it is available since 1.4.2.
