请教 DirectGraphics.drawPixels

public void drawPixels(short[] pixels,
                       boolean transparency,
                       int offset,
                       int scanlength,
                       int x,
                       int y,
                       int width,
                       int height,
                       int manipulation,
                       int format)
short[] pixels的实质是什么 是否能转换为某种格式的图片文件???
