    - #### createStreamMetadata

          protected javax.imageio.metadata.IIOMetadata createStreamMetadata(javax.imageio.ImageWriter writer,
                                                                            javax.imageio.ImageWriteParam writeParam,

      Creates the stream metadata for image. By default, this method returns null which causes the default stream metadata to be used. Subclasses can override this to supply special stream metadata (see TIFF for an example).
      Overrides:
        `createStreamMetadata` in class `ImageIOImageWriter`
      Parameters:
        `writer` - the image write
        `writeParam` - the ImageIO write parameters
        `params` - the ImageWriter write parameters
      Returns:
        the stream metadata (or null if no special metadata needs to be produced)
