- Classes in javax.imageio used by javax.imageio
  Class and Description
  IIOException An exception class used for signaling run-time failure of reading and writing operations.
  IIOImage A simple container class to aggregate an image, a set of thumbnail (preview) images, and an object representing metadata associated with the image.
  IIOParam A superclass of all classes describing how streams should be decoded or encoded.
  IIOParamController An interface to be implemented by objects that can determine the settings of an `IIOParam` object, either by putting up a GUI to obtain values from a user, or by other means.
  ImageReader An abstract superclass for parsing and decoding of images.
  ImageReadParam A class describing how a stream is to be decoded.
  ImageTranscoder An interface providing metadata transcoding capability.
  ImageTypeSpecifier A class that allows the format of an image (in particular, its `SampleModel` and `ColorModel`) to be specified in a convenient manner.
  ImageWriteParam A class describing how a stream is to be encoded.
  ImageWriter An abstract superclass for encoding and writing images.
