Copy the contents of an image

A

Abs

Hi!

I need to copy the contents of an image (bufferedimage or volatileimage)
unto another for backup purposes. Is it enough to do a simple variable
assignation like this ?


Image im1;
Image im2;
....
im1=im2;



thanks in advance

im1 & im2 now point to the same object (that is the object that im2 pointed
to)

If this object is mutated via either variable then both variables will
reflect this change since they point to the same object.

You are therefore not making a copy.
