<AWT Dev> [OpenJDK 2D-Dev] [9] Review request for 8029339 Custom MultiResolution image support on HiDPI displays

Why the split ?
If you look only at the first part. If you can do that then why is the 
2nd part needed ?

The name "MultiResolutionImage" implies to me that this is a sub-class 
of Image.
But its not, its a way to get images. AbstractMultiResolutionImage, 
however is
a subclass and it implements the former.
I am supposing (since you don't explain) that you want an Image 
sub-class here
so that the app can specify it where ever an Image is currently accepted 
by API
and the API that is "aware" can accept it.

I worry about the memory cost of all of this. Can the the implementation 
be "lazy"?
ie even if I call getResolutionVariants() do those images all have to be 
fully initialised before
they are used? It looks like the app probably has to do so ..

Also it precludes being able to return "on demand" an image that is 
rendered to
be exactly the size requested. That could be created, drawn using 
graphics primitives
and created precisely and only if needed.

Instead we have an API that requires you to apparentlty eagerly create 
even the
highest res image when you are on a device that has no need for it.

Who will actually call getResolutionVariants() ? Is it us (the 
implementation) because we
don't trust the app to make the right selection based on the 
parameterised call
getResolutionVariant() ?

Which approach do we use to pick the image ? If its the former, the app 
controls it,
if its the latter its us. But which ?

I am still stuck on the parameters to getResolutionVariant

  * @param baseImageWidth the width of the base image.


Isn't the base image always the smallest ? Why are we, the caller, supposed
to say what that size to the class that has that image.

So I'd really like to see the example of that method in 
CustomMultiResolutionImage
filled out so we can see what is imagined here ..

Based solely on the usage I see here, its not clear why 
MultiResolutionImage needs
to separately exist. what would implement MultiResolutionImage except for
a class that extends AbstractMultiResolutionImage  ? Where would you use
a straight implementation of MultiResolutionImage ?

Actually I am not sure you answered Jim's question as to who is 
requesting these APIs.
"The AWT team" doesn't need them as they won't be writing the apps.

If the 99% use case will be to provide a way for apps to provide images 
at custom sizes
then we seem to be making them write new code. SFAIK FX found a way to 
do something
similar to what OS X and Windows do which is to load based on file
name convention. If we can do that, we load just the one we need. Is the 
point
of use so far removed from the loading logic that we can't do this ?

And none of this seems to help anyone who calls new BufferedImage(w, h, 
type) ..

BTW I am not sold on the need for the RenderingHint.  Where did the idea 
come from ?
It would affect all rendering using that graphics instance, not just a 
specific image and
if someone doesn't want a MultiRes image used, then maybe they just 
don't provide one ..
In any case, without a solid demonstrated need I would not add the API.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> implements MultiResolutionImage {
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>          Image highResolutionImage;

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Graphics g = getGraphics();

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> g.dispose();

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>          @Override

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> height) {

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> getHeight()))
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ? this : highResolutionImage;

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>          @Override

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> getResolutionVariants() {
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>              return Arrays.asList(this,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> highResolutionImage);
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>          }
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>      }
