A buffered image is a type of image whose pixels can be modified.

import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
    int width = 100;
    int height = 100;
    BufferedImage bimage = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
    bimage = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
  }
}

        AffineTransformOp.TYPE_BILINEAR);
    bufferedImage = op.filter(bufferedImage, null);

}





Scaling a Buffered Image

import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
import java.awt.image.AffineTransformOp;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
    BufferedImage bufferedImage = new BufferedImage(200, 200,
        BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_INDEXED);
    AffineTransform tx = new AffineTransform();
    tx.scale(1, 2);
    AffineTransformOp op = new AffineTransformOp(tx,
        AffineTransformOp.TYPE_BILINEAR);
    bufferedImage = op.filter(bufferedImage, null);
  }
}





Shearing a Buffered Image

import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
import java.awt.image.AffineTransformOp;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
    BufferedImage bufferedImage = new BufferedImage(200, 200,
        BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_INDEXED);
    AffineTransform tx = new AffineTransform();
    tx.shear(2, 3);

Translating a Buffered Image

import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
import java.awt.image.AffineTransformOp;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
    BufferedImage bufferedImage = new BufferedImage(200, 200,
        BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_INDEXED);
    AffineTransform tx = new AffineTransform();
    tx.translate(2, 1);
    AffineTransformOp op = new AffineTransformOp(tx,
        AffineTransformOp.TYPE_BILINEAR);
    bufferedImage = op.filter(bufferedImage, null);
  }
}





TYPE_INT_RGB and TYPE_INT_ARGB are typically used

import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
    int width = 100;
    int height = 100;
    BufferedImage bimage = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
    bimage = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
  }
}
