public ImageTypeSpecifier(ColorModel colorModel,
                          SampleModel sampleModel)
Constructs an ImageTypeSpecifier directly from a ColorModel and a SampleModel. It is the caller's responsibility to supply compatible parameters.

Parameters:

Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if either parameter is null.
IllegalArgumentException - if sampleModel is not compatible with colorModel.

ImageTypeSpecifier
