How do I get a Raster from an Image in java?

I'm trying to load a gif image from a url into a java.util.image.Raster so I can manipulate it. The only method for loading and decompressing an image I could find was Toolkit.getImage, which returns a java.awt.Image. I need to turn that into a Raster so I can work with it. Suggestions?

Solution

  • Load your Image into a Buffered Image and then get the data from it

    BufferedImage img = null;
try {
   img = ImageIO.read(new File ("c:/imageFile.gif"));
} catch(Exception e) {}

Raster R=img.getData();
