AffineTransformOp (Java Platform SE 8 )

java.lang.Object
- java.awt.image.AffineTransformOp

All Implemented Interfaces:

BufferedImageOp, RasterOp
```
public class AffineTransformOp
extends Object
implements BufferedImageOp, RasterOp
```
This class uses an affine transform to perform a linear mapping from 2D coordinates in the source image or Raster to 2D coordinates in the destination image or Raster. The type of interpolation that is used is specified through a constructor, either by a RenderingHints object or by one of the integer interpolation types defined in this class.
If a RenderingHints object is specified in the constructor, the interpolation hint and the rendering quality hint are used to set the interpolation type for this operation. The color rendering hint and the dithering hint can be used when color conversion is required.
Note that the following constraints have to be met:
- The source and destination must be different.
- For Raster objects, the number of bands in the source must be equal to the number of bands in the destination.

  - AffineTransformOp
```
public AffineTransformOp(AffineTransform xform,
                         RenderingHints hints)
```
    Constructs an AffineTransformOp given an affine transform. The interpolation type is determined from the RenderingHints object. If the interpolation hint is defined, it will be used. Otherwise, if the rendering quality hint is defined, the interpolation type is determined from its value. If no hints are specified (hints is null), the interpolation type is TYPE_NEAREST_NEIGHBOR.
    
    Parameters:
    
    xform - The AffineTransform to use for the operation.
    
    hints - The RenderingHints object used to specify the interpolation type for the operation.
    
    Throws:
    
    ImagingOpException - if the transform is non-invertible.

  - getInterpolationType
```
public final int getInterpolationType()
```
    Returns the interpolation type used by this op.
    
    Returns:
    
    the interpolation type.

  - filter
```
public final BufferedImage filter(BufferedImage src,
                                  BufferedImage dst)
```
    Transforms the source BufferedImage and stores the results in the destination BufferedImage. If the color models for the two images do not match, a color conversion into the destination color model is performed. If the destination image is null, a BufferedImage is created with the source ColorModel.
    The coordinates of the rectangle returned by getBounds2D(BufferedImage) are not necessarily the same as the coordinates of the BufferedImage returned by this method. If the upper-left corner coordinates of the rectangle are negative then this part of the rectangle is not drawn. If the upper-left corner coordinates of the rectangle are positive then the filtered image is drawn at that position in the destination BufferedImage.
    An IllegalArgumentException is thrown if the source is the same as the destination.
    
    Specified by:
    
    filter in interface BufferedImageOp
    
    Parameters:
    
    src - The BufferedImage to transform.
    
    dst - The BufferedImage in which to store the results of the transformation.
    
    Returns:
    
    The filtered BufferedImage.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if src and dst are the same
    
    ImagingOpException - if the image cannot be transformed because of a data-processing error that might be caused by an invalid image format, tile format, or image-processing operation, or any other unsupported operation.
  - filter
```
public final WritableRaster filter(Raster src,
                                   WritableRaster dst)
```
    Transforms the source Raster and stores the results in the destination Raster. This operation performs the transform band by band.
    If the destination Raster is null, a new Raster is created. An IllegalArgumentException may be thrown if the source is the same as the destination or if the number of bands in the source is not equal to the number of bands in the destination.
    The coordinates of the rectangle returned by getBounds2D(Raster) are not necessarily the same as the coordinates of the WritableRaster returned by this method. If the upper-left corner coordinates of rectangle are negative then this part of the rectangle is not drawn. If the coordinates of the rectangle are positive then the filtered image is drawn at that position in the destination Raster.
    
    Specified by:
    
    filter in interface RasterOp
    
    Parameters:
    
    src - The Raster to transform.
    
    dst - The Raster in which to store the results of the transformation.
    
    Returns:
    
    The transformed Raster.
    
    Throws:
    
    ImagingOpException - if the raster cannot be transformed because of a data-processing error that might be caused by an invalid image format, tile format, or image-processing operation, or any other unsupported operation.
  - getBounds2D
