Hi, I wrote a while back about having problems with the ImageComponent2D constructor. I am still stuck on this. I was told that a NullPointerException occurred as the ColorModel was set to null for my image. I tried to fix that by setting a ColorModel for the object. I read that the ColorModel should have same transfer type as the sample model of the image. Here is the code fragment I used. This code fragment is used to create a RenderedImage. It uses JAI to decode DICOM images
sampleModel = RasterFactory.createPixelInterleavedSampleModel(DataBuffer.TYPE_SHORT, width, height, 1); //create a ColorModel object ColorSpace cs = ColorSpace.getInstance(ColorSpace.CS_GRAY); int bits[] = new int[] {8}; colorModel = new ComponentColorModel(cs,bits,false,false,Transparency.OPAQUE,DataBuffer.TYPE_SHORT); Now I get an unsupported method error. I am not allowed to use TYPE_SHORT. Exception occurred during event dispatching: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: This method has not been implemented for transferType 2 at java.awt.image.ComponentColorModel.extractComponent(ComponentColorModel.java:372) at java.awt.image.ComponentColorModel.getRGBComponent(ComponentColorModel.java:315) at java.awt.image.ComponentColorModel.getRed(ComponentColorModel.java:425) at javax.media.j3d.ImageComponentRetained.copyImage(ImageComponentRetained.java:371) at javax.media.j3d.ImageComponent2DRetained.set(ImageComponent2DRetained.java:370) at javax.media.j3d.ImageComponent2D.<init>(ImageComponent2D.java:103) at BrainGUI.actionPerformed(BrainGUI.java:178) at java.awt.MenuItem.processActionEvent(MenuItem.java:526) at java.awt.MenuItem.processEvent(MenuItem.java:490) at java.awt.MenuComponent.dispatchEventImpl(MenuComponent.java:266) at java.awt.MenuComponent.dispatchEvent(MenuComponent.java:256) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(EventQueue.java:336) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForHierarchy(EventDispatchThread.java:126) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(EventDispatchThread.java:93) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:88) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:80) Can someone also tell me how I can find out what these exceptions mean, and how I can figure out what I am doing wrong? I am sorry if this problem seems too simple. I am very new to Java. __________________________________________________________________ Your favorite stores, helpful shopping tools and great gift ideas.
