Class GeoTiffFormatFactorySpi

java.lang.Object
  org.geotools.gce.geotiff.GeoTiffFormatFactorySpi

All Implemented Interfaces:

Factory, GridFormatFactorySpi

public class GeoTiffFormatFactorySpi

extends java.lang.Object

implements GridFormatFactorySpi

The GeoTiffFormatFactorySpi should never be instantiated directly by user code. It is discovered by the GridFormatFinder for automatic discovery. Use the standard Geotools method of discovering a factory in order to create a format.

This format will only report itself to be "available" if the JAI and JAI ImageI/O libraries are available. Otherwise it will be unavailable. If a user attempts to create a new instance of the format when the required libraries are unavailable, an UnsupportedOperationException will be thrown.
