Nested Class Summary
`static class` `TranscodingHints.Key` Defines the base type of all keys used to control various aspects of the transcoding operations.

Constructor Summary
`TranscodingHints()` Constructs a new empty `TranscodingHints`.
`TranscodingHints(java.util.Map init)` Constructs a new `TranscodingHints` with keys and values initialized from the specified Map object (which may be null).

Method Summary
`boolean` `containsKey(java.lang.Object key)` Returns `true` if this `TranscodingHints` contains a mapping for the specified key, false otherwise.
`java.lang.Object` `get(java.lang.Object key)` Returns the value to which the specified key is mapped.
`java.lang.Object` `put(java.lang.Object key, java.lang.Object value)` Maps the specified `key` to the specified `value` in this `TranscodingHints` object.
`void` `putAll(java.util.Map m)` Copies all of the mappings from the specified `Map` to this `TranscodingHints`.
`void` `putAll(TranscodingHints hints)` Copies all of the keys and corresponding values from the specified `TranscodingHints` object to this `TranscodingHints` object.
`java.lang.Object` `remove(java.lang.Object key)` Removes the key and its corresponding value from this `TranscodingHints` object.

Constructor Detail

### TranscodingHints

    public TranscodingHints()

  Constructs a new empty `TranscodingHints`.

### TranscodingHints

    public TranscodingHints(java.util.Map init)

  Constructs a new `TranscodingHints` with keys and values initialized from the specified Map object (which may be null).

Parameters:
  `init` - a map of key/value pairs to initialize the hints or null if the object should be empty

Method Detail

### containsKey

    public boolean containsKey(java.lang.Object key)

  Returns `true` if this `TranscodingHints` contains a mapping for the specified key, false otherwise.

  Parameters:
    `key` - key whose present in this `TranscodingHints` is to be tested.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.ClassCastException` - key is not of type `TranscodingHints.Key`

### get

    public java.lang.Object get(java.lang.Object key)

  Returns the value to which the specified key is mapped.

  Parameters:
    `key` - a trancoding hint key
  Throws:
    `java.lang.ClassCastException` - key is not of type `TranscodingHints.Key`

### put

    public java.lang.Object put(java.lang.Object key,
                                java.lang.Object value)

  Maps the specified `key` to the specified `value` in this `TranscodingHints` object.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the trancoding hint key.
    `value` - the trancoding hint value.
  Throws:
    ``IllegalArgumentException`` - value is not appropriate for the specified key.
    `java.lang.ClassCastException` - key is not of type `TranscodingHints.Key`

### remove

    public java.lang.Object remove(java.lang.Object key)

  Removes the key and its corresponding value from this `TranscodingHints` object.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the trancoding hints key that needs to be removed
  Throws:
    `java.lang.ClassCastException` - key is not of type `TranscodingHints.Key`

### putAll

    public void putAll(TranscodingHints hints)

  Copies all of the keys and corresponding values from the specified `TranscodingHints` object to this `TranscodingHints` object.

### putAll

    public void putAll(java.util.Map m)

  Copies all of the mappings from the specified `Map` to this `TranscodingHints`.

  Throws:
    `java.lang.ClassCastException` - key is not of type `TranscodingHints.Key`
