Class ArrayRotation


  • public class ArrayRotation
    extends Object
    Provides static methods to rotate (in steps of 90 degrees), flip and mirror array elements. The image data is expected to be available as an array of integer values, being stored as rows top-to-bottom. Within each row, the data is laid out from left to right. This class may also been useful for transposing matrices.

    The rotation by 90 and 270 degrees in-place (i.e., without using a second array to copy to) is based on ideas and code developed by others. See Rotation of arrays by Thomas W. Christopher.

    I also got very useful advice from Hans-Bernhard Broeker and others in comp.graphics.algorithms. There is a thread titled In-place rotation of pixel images starting Oct 11, 2000.

    Note: This class should be adjusted if Java ever supports genericity. Then rotation functionality could be provided for all kinds of arrays.

      • checkPixelArray

        public static void checkPixelArray​(int[] pixels,
                                           int width,
                                           int height)
        This method checks several properties of the arguments. If any of the properties is not fulfilled, an explaining IllegalArgumentException is thrown. Otherwise, nothing happens. This method is supposed to be called at the beginning of several other methods in this class. Properties checked:
        • pixels is non-null
        • width and height are larger than zero
        • number of elements in pixels is at least width times height
      • flipInPlace

        private static final void flipInPlace​(int[] pixels,
                                              int width,
                                              int height)
        Flips the argument image, i.e., the top line becomes the bottom line and vice versa, etc. This method first checks the validity of the arguments that define the image by a call to checkPixelArray(int[],int,int). Then the image data is flipped in place, no additional memory is required. Note that after applying this operation twice you will get the original image back.
        Parameters:
        pixels - the array of pixels that form the image to be flipped
        width - the horizontal resolution of the image; must be larger than 0
        height - the vertical resolution of the image; must be larger than 0
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if the arguments are invalid
      • flip

        private static final int[] flip​(int[] pixels,
                                        int width,
                                        int height)
      • flip

        public static final int[] flip​(boolean inPlace,
                                       int[] pixels,
                                       int width,
                                       int height)
        Flips the image given by the arguments. The inPlace argument determines if the pixels array is modified or not. If inPlace is true, no additional array is allocated. Otherwise, an array of width times height items is allocated and the flipped image will be stored in this array.
        Parameters:
        inPlace - if true all work is done on the pixels array; otherwise, a second array is allocated and the pixels array remains unmodified
        pixels - the array of pixels that form the image to be flipped
        width - the horizontal resolution of the image; must be larger than 0
        height - the vertical resolution of the image; must be larger than 0
        Returns:
        the flipped image as int array; equals pixels if inPlace is true
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if the pixel resolution is invalid or the pixels array is not initialized or its length smaller than width times height
      • rotate180

        public static int[] rotate180​(boolean inPlace,
                                      int[] pixels,
                                      int width,
                                      int height)
        Rotates the argument image by 180 degrees. The resulting image will have exactly the same pixel resolution. Note that this operation is the same as two consecutive 90 degree rotations in the same direction. Another way of implementing a 180 degree rotation is first flipping and then mirroring the original image (or vice versa).

        If inPlace is true, the rotation is done on the argument pixels array. Otherwise a new array of sufficient length is allocated and the rotated image will be stored in this new array, not modifying the content of the pixels array.

        Parameters:
        inPlace - determines whether the rotated image is written to the argument array
        pixels - the array of pixels that form the image to be rotated
        width - the horizontal resolution of the image; must be larger than 0
        height - the vertical resolution of the image; must be larger than 0
        Returns:
        the flipped image as int array; equals pixels if inPlace is true
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if the pixel resolution is invalid or the pixels array is not initialized or its length smaller than width times height
