LogStream (API)

java.lang.Object
- java.io.OutputStream
- - java.io.FilterOutputStream
  - - java.io.PrintStream
    - - ij.io.LogStream

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Closeable, java.io.Flushable, java.lang.Appendable, java.lang.AutoCloseable
```
public class LogStream
extends java.io.PrintStream
```
This class provides the functionality to divert output sent to the System.out and System.err streams to ImageJ's log console. The purpose is to allow use of existing Java classes or writing new generic Java classes that only output to System.out and are thus less dependent on ImageJ. See the ImageJ plugin Redirect_System_Streams at http://staff.fh-hagenberg.at/burger/imagej/ for usage examples.

```
public LogStream()
```
- Method Detail
  - redirectSystem
```
public static void redirectSystem(boolean redirect)
```
    Redirects all output sent to System.out and System.err to ImageJ's log console using the default prefixes.
  - redirectSystem
```
public static void redirectSystem()
```
    Redirects all output sent to System.out and System.err to ImageJ's log console using the default prefixes. Alternatively use redirectSystemOut(String) and redirectSystemErr(String) to redirect the streams separately and to specify individual prefixes.
  - redirectSystemOut
```
public static void redirectSystemOut(java.lang.String prefix)
```
    Redirects all output sent to System.out to ImageJ's log console.
    
    Parameters:
    
    prefix - The prefix string inserted at the start of each output line. Pass null to use the default prefix or an empty string to remove the prefix.
  - redirectSystemErr
```
public static void redirectSystemErr(java.lang.String prefix)
```
    Redirects all output sent to System.err to ImageJ's log console.
    
    Parameters:
    
    prefix - The prefix string inserted at the start of each output line. Pass null to use the default prefix or an empty string to remove the prefix.
  - getCurrentOutStream
```
public static java.io.PrintStream getCurrentOutStream()
```
    Returns the redirection stream for System.out if it exists. Note that a reference to the current output stream can also be obtained directly from the System.out field.
    
    Returns:
    
    A reference to the PrintStream object currently substituting System.out or null of if System.out is currently not redirected.
  - getCurrentErrStream
```
public static java.io.PrintStream getCurrentErrStream()
```
    Returns the redirection stream for System.err if it exists. Note that a reference to the current output stream can also be obtained directly from the System.err field.
    
    Returns:
    
    A reference to the PrintStream object currently substituting System.err or null of if System.err is currently not redirected.
  - revertSystem
```
public static void revertSystem()
```
    Use this method to revert both System.out and System.err to their original output streams.
  - revertSystemOut
```
public static void revertSystemOut()
```
    Use this method to revertSystem.out to the original output stream.
  - revertSystemErr
```
public static void revertSystemErr()
```
    Use this method to revertSystem.err to the original output stream.
  - write
```
public void write(byte[] b)
```
    Overrides:
    
    write in class java.io.FilterOutputStream
  - write
```
public void write(byte[] b,
                  int off,
                  int len)
```
    Overrides:
    
    write in class java.io.PrintStream
  - write
```
public void write(int b)
```
    Overrides:
    
    write in class java.io.PrintStream
  - flush
```
public void flush()
```
    Specified by:
    
    flush in interface java.io.Flushable
    
    Overrides:
    
    flush in class java.io.PrintStream
  - close
```
public void close()
```
    Specified by:
    
    close in interface java.io.Closeable
    
    Specified by:
    
    close in interface java.lang.AutoCloseable
    
    Overrides:
    
    close in class java.io.PrintStream
