Pixel Representations AWT
For multicolour displays with 3 colour components, the convention is to have 3 fields of range 0..255 to hold
the colour information. The AWT does
this with the class Color.
npublic Color(int rgb)
–Creates a color with the specified RGB value, where the
red component is in bits 16-23 of the
argument, the green component is in bits
8-15 of the argument, and the blue component is in bits 0-7. The value zero indicates no contribution from the
primary color component.
–A Jimage returns this format with int rgbpixel().
