[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: SWT and JAI?

["Ivan Markov" <ivanm@xxxxxxxxx>]

Isn't it possible to grab the pixel contents (i.e. Raster) of the final JAI
image and feed it into an instance of org.eclipse.swt.graphics.ImageData
(with appropriately configured PaletteData)?

Then you can pass the ImageData object to an SWT Image and render it on a
GC.

P.S. Sorry if it doesn't make sense to you, I'm not very familiar with JAI.
