Listing 6 computes new values for the red and green components based on the existing color values for the pixel and the scalefactors computed in Listing 5 .

Listing 6 . Apply the scale factors.
pixel.setGreen((int)(green * greenScale)); pixel.setBlue((int)(blue * blueScale));}//end for loop

Then Listing 6 calls the setGreen and setBlue methods on the Pixel object to set the green and blue color values to the newly computed values.

The end of the for loop

Listing 6 also signals the end of the for loop that began in Listing 4 .

Display the modified image

Finally, Listing 7 calls the explore method again to display the image shown in Figure 2 .

Listing 7 . Display the modified image.
pic.explore(); }//end run method}//end class Prob03Runner

The end of the run method

Listing 7 also signals the end of the run method and the end of the Prob03Runner class.

Return control to main

The run method terminates and returns control to the main method shown in Listing 1 .

The code in the main method calls a getter method to get a reference to the Picture object.

The reference is passed to the println method, which displays the information about the Picture object in the last line of Figure 3 .

The program terminates

Then the main method terminates, at which time the program terminates and returns control to the operating system.

Run the program

I encourage you to copy the code from Listing 8 , compile it and execute it. Experiment with the code, making changes, andobserving the results of your changes. Make certain that you can explain why your changes behave as they do.

You can download a copy of the required input image file here .

Summary

In this module, I showed you how to implement an algorithm that causes the green and blue color values in an image to change in a linear fashion going fromleft to right across the image.

What's next?

You will learn more about abstract methods, abstract classes, and overridden methods in the next lesson. Very importantly, you will learn more about overriding the toString method.
