Currently, there is no way to do this. You may get a different image type internally based on whether the VolatileImage is transparent or translucent (we added a method to create such an image in Mustang), but otherwise there is no way to tell us what image representation you want.
One of the reasons for this is that some mechanisms for creating and storing VolatileImages internally require that the image be stored in the same resolution as the GraphicsConfiguration for which the VolatileImage is being created. Another way to think of this is that a video card has a certain color configuration (like 32-bit, RGB) and offscreen images in that same video memory may be required to be in that same format. For example, on Windows our default acceleration mechanism is DirectDraw, which has the requirement that all offscreen accelerated surfaces be in the onscreen format. There is no way to have an offscreen image of a different color depth or configuration. Other platforms and rendering pipelines may vary (for example, Direct3D and OpenGL are able to create textures of various types regardless of onscreen color configuration). Hope that helps... Chet.

I am curious if there is possible to create a VolatileImage with a specific type ? And when I say type I reffer to those types from the BufferedImage class: TYPE_INT_ARGB, TYPE_BYTE_GRAY, etc. Sarmis [Message sent by forum member 'jsarmis' (jsarmis)] http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=140383 =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA2D-INTEREST".
