Starts production of the filtered image.
If the specified
ImageConsumer
isn't already a consumer of the filtered image,
an instance of the original
ImageFilter
is created
(using the filter's
getFilterInstance
method)
to manipulate the image data
for the
ImageConsumer
.
The filter instance for the
ImageConsumer
is then passed to the
startProduction
method
of the original
ImageProducer
.
This method is public as a side effect
of this class implementing
the ImageProducer
interface.
It should not be called from user code,
and its behavior if called from user code is unspecified.
Parameters:
- ic - the consumer for the filtered image
