Image task generates and transforms images. It exposes the - imaging capability available in Java2D, Java Advanced Imaging, - ImageIO, etc., as set of nested elements.
-Image transformations such as "resize"
- (scale),"overlay" (one image on another),
- "border" (add a border), "text" (text on
- image), "crop" (a sub-image of a bigger image),
- "rotate", "grayscale" (change a color
- image to shades of gray).
- Now it supports transparency (making images translucent), a
- bestfit option for Resize, simple support for images within
- a security-constraint, a preliminary support (if pjatools.jar
- is available) for saving files as GIF and some other fixes.
IMPORTANT: You will need the PMIW (Poor Man's Imaging Wrapper) jar - for all the operations and the pjatools jar for GIF encoding/ saving - support.
-Note: The website encourage the use of Ants internal image tasks. While the development - of these image tasks is stopped the development of the underlying PMIW should occur.
