ABORT
- Static variable in interface java.awt.image.ImageObserver
public static final int ABORT
This flag in the infoflags argument to imageUpdate indicates that an image which was being tracked asynchronously was aborted before production was complete. No more information will become available without further action to trigger another image production sequence. If the ERROR flag was not also set in this image update, then accessing any of the data in the image will restart the production again, probably from the beginning.See Also: imageUpdate(java.awt.Image, int, int, int, int, int)
