# Class DataBufferFloat

java.lang.Object
java.awt.image.DataBuffer
java.awt.image.DataBufferFloat

public final class DataBufferFloat extends DataBuffer
This class extends `DataBuffer` and stores data internally in `float` form.

Note that some implementations may function more efficiently if they can maintain control over how the data for an image is stored. For example, optimizations such as caching an image in video memory require that the implementation track all modifications to that data. Other implementations may operate better if they can store the data in locations other than a Java array. To maintain optimum compatibility with various optimizations it is best to avoid constructors and methods which expose the underlying storage as a Java array as noted below in the documentation for those methods.

      `numBanks` - The number of banks in the `DataBuffer`.

  - ### DataBufferFloat

    public DataBufferFloat(float[] dataArray, int size)
    Constructs a `float`-based `DataBuffer` with the specified data array. Only the first `size` elements are available for use by this `DataBuffer`. The array must be large enough to hold `size` elements.

    Note that `DataBuffer` objects created by this constructor may be incompatible with performance optimizations used by some implementations (such as caching an associated image in video memory).

    Parameters:
      `dataArray` - An array of `float`s to be used as the first and only bank of this `DataBuffer`.
      `size` - The number of elements of the array to be used.

  - ### DataBufferFloat

    public DataBufferFloat(float[] dataArray, int size, int offset)
    Constructs a `float`-based `DataBuffer` with the specified data array. Only the elements between `offset` and `offset + size - 1` are available for use by this `DataBuffer`. The array must be large enough to hold `offset + size` elements.

    Note that `DataBuffer` objects created by this constructor may be incompatible with performance optimizations used by some implementations (such as caching an associated image in video memory).

    Parameters:
      `dataArray` - An array of `float`s to be used as the first and only bank of this `DataBuffer`.
      `size` - The number of elements of the array to be used.
      `offset` - The offset of the first element of the array that will be used.

  - ### DataBufferFloat

    Note that `DataBuffer` objects created by this constructor may be incompatible with performance optimizations used by some implementations (such as caching an associated image in video memory).

    Parameters:
      `dataArray` - An array of arrays of `float`s to be used as the banks of this `DataBuffer`.
      `size` - The number of elements of each array to be used.

    public DataBufferFloat(float[][] dataArray, int size, int[] offsets)
    Constructs a `float`-based `DataBuffer` with the specified data arrays, size, and per-bank offsets. The number of banks is equal to `dataArray.length`. Each array must be at least as large as `size` plus the corresponding offset. There must be an entry in the offsets array for each data array.

    Note that `DataBuffer` objects created by this constructor may be incompatible with performance optimizations used by some implementations (such as caching an associated image in video memory).

    Parameters:
      `dataArray` - An array of arrays of `float`s to be used as the banks of this `DataBuffer`.
