  • Method Details

    • getCategory

      public String getCategory()
      Description copied from interface: ResourceIO
      Returns the category for grouping. MUST be implemented with I18N support.
      Specified by:
      getCategory in interface ResourceIO<BufferedImage>
      Returns:
      the category name

    • getName

      public String getName()
      Description copied from interface: ResourceIO
      Returns the display name of this resource handler. MUST be implemented with I18N support.
      Specified by:
      getName in interface ResourceIO<BufferedImage>
      Returns:
      the display name

    • getDescription

      public String getDescription()
      Description copied from interface: ResourceIO
      Returns a short description of this resource handler. MUST be implemented with I18N support.
      Specified by:
      getDescription in interface ResourceIO<BufferedImage>
      Returns:
      the description

    • getLongDescription

      public String getLongDescription()
      Description copied from interface: ResourceIO
      Returns a long description of this resource handler. MUST be implemented with I18N support.
      Specified by:
      getLongDescription in interface ResourceIO<BufferedImage>
      Returns:
      the long description

    • getResourceType

      public Class<BufferedImage> getResourceType()
      Description copied from interface: ResourceIO
      Returns the type of resource.
      Specified by:
      getResourceType in interface ResourceIO<BufferedImage>

    • getResourcePath

      public String getResourcePath()
      Description copied from interface: ResourceIO
      Returns the base path where this resource is located.
      Specified by:
      getResourcePath in interface ResourceIO<BufferedImage>

    • getSupportedVersions

      public String[] getSupportedVersions()
      Description copied from interface: ResourceIO
      Returns the supported versions of the format this reader/writer handles.

      Each implementation MUST override this method to declare which versions of the underlying format are supported. The returned array should contain version strings in the format's standard notation (e.g., "3.0", "2.1", "Level 3 Version 2").

      Examples:

      • MathML: {"3.0", "2.0"}
      • SBML: {"Level 3 Version 2", "Level 3 Version 1", "Level 2 Version 5"}
      • PhyloXML: {"1.10", "1.00"}

      Specified by:
      getSupportedVersions in interface ResourceIO<BufferedImage>
      Returns:
      array of supported version strings, never null (empty array if version-agnostic)

    • load

      public BufferedImage load(String path) throws Exception
      Description copied from interface: ResourceReader
      Loads a resource by its identifier.
      Specified by:
      load in interface ResourceReader<BufferedImage>
      Throws:
      Exception

    • read

      public BufferedImage read(File file) throws Exception
      Reads a DICOM file and returns its pixel data as a BufferedImage. Note: This implementation is a simplified version or a bridge to powerful DICOM libraries.
      Throws:
      Exception

    • display

      public void display(BufferedImage image, String title)
      Displays the image in a new window. This fulfills the "afficher" requirement.

    • getMetadata

      public Map<String,String> getMetadata()
