- * <code>IIORegistry</code> class.
- *
- * <p> This interface allows arbitrary objects to be "wrapped" by
- * instances of <code>ImageOutputStream</code>. For example, a
- * particular <code>ImageOutputStreamSpi</code> might allow a generic
- * <code>OutputStream</code> to be used as a destination; another
- * might output to a <code>File</code> or to a device such as a serial
- * port.
- *
- * <p> By treating the creation of <code>ImageOutputStream</code>s as
- * a pluggable service, it becomes possible to handle future output
- * destinations without changing the API. Also, high-performance
- * implementations of <code>ImageOutputStream</code> (for example,
- * native implementations for a particular platform) can be installed
- * and used transparently by applications.
