public class MemoryCacheImageOutputStream extends ImageOutputStreamImpl
ImageOutputStream that writes its
 output to a regular OutputStream.  A memory buffer is
 used to cache at least the data between the discard position and
 the current write position.  The only constructor takes an
 OutputStream, so this class may not be used for
 read/modify/write operations.  Reading can occur only on parts of
 the stream that have already been written to the cache and not
 yet flushed.bitOffset, byteOrder, flushedPos, streamPos| Constructor | Description |

| boolean | isCachedMemory() | Returns  truesince thisImageOutputStreammaintains a main memory cache. | 
| long | length() | Returns  -1Lto indicate that the stream has unknown
 length. | 
| int | read() | Reads a single byte from the stream and returns it as an
  intbetween 0 and 255. |

 them intobstarting at indexoff. |

 position. |

 -1 is returned.
 Subclasses must provide an implementation for this method. The subclass implementation should update the stream position before exiting.
The bit offset within the stream must be reset to zero before the read occurs.

ImageInputStreamImpllen bytes from the stream, and stores
 them into b starting at index off.
 If no bytes can be read because the end of the stream has been
 reached, -1 is returned.
 The bit offset within the stream must be reset to zero before the read occurs.
Subclasses must provide an implementation for this method. The subclass implementation should update the stream position before exiting.

ImageOutputStreamb are ignored.
  If the bit offset within the stream is non-zero, the
 remainder of the current byte is padded with 0s
 and written out first.  The bit offset will be 0 after the
 write.  Implementers can use the
 flushBits
 method of ImageOutputStreamImpl
 to guarantee this.

ImageOutputStreamlen is 0, nothing is written.
 The byte b[off] is written first, then the byte
