public int getRGBChannelCount()
```
    Description copied from interface: IFormatReader
    
    Gets the number of channels returned with each call to openBytes. The most common case where this value is greater than 1 is for interleaved RGB data, such as a 24-bit color image plane. However, it is possible for this value to be greater than 1 for non-interleaved data, such as an RGB TIFF with Planar rather than Chunky configuration.

    Description copied from interface: IFormatReader
    
    Gets the 8-bit color lookup table associated with the most recently opened image. If no image planes have been opened, or if IFormatReader.isIndexed() returns false, then this may return null. Also, if IFormatReader.getPixelType() returns anything other than FormatTools.INT8 or FormatTools.UINT8, this method will return null.

  - getDimensionOrder
```
public String getDimensionOrder()
```
    Description copied from interface: IFormatReader
    Gets a five-character string representing the dimension order in which planes will be returned. Valid orders are:
    - XYCTZ
    - XYCZT
    - XYTCZ
    - XYTZC
    - XYZCT
    - XYZTC
    In cases where the channels are interleaved (e.g., CXYTZ), C will be the first dimension after X and Y (e.g., XYCTZ) and the IFormatReader.isInterleaved() method will return true.
    Specified by:
    
    getDimensionOrder in interface IFormatReader
  - isOrderCertain

  - isInterleaved
```
public boolean isInterleaved()
```
    Description copied from interface: IFormatReader
    
    Gets whether or not the channels are interleaved. This method exists because X and Y must appear first in the dimension order. For interleaved data, IFormatReader.getDimensionOrder() returns XYCTZ or XYCZT, and this method returns true. Note that this flag returns whether or not the data returned by IFormatReader.openBytes(int) is interleaved. In most cases, this will match the interleaving in the original file, but for some formats (e.g. TIFF) channel re-ordering is done internally and the return value of this method will not match what is in the original file.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isInterleaved in interface IFormatReader
  - isInterleaved
```
public boolean isInterleaved(int subC)
```
    Description copied from interface: IFormatReader
    
    Gets whether or not the given sub-channel is interleaved. This method exists because some data with multiple rasterized sub-dimensions within C have one sub-dimension interleaved, and the other not—e.g., SDTReader handles spectral-lifetime data with interleaved lifetime bins and non-interleaved spectral channels.

    Obtains the specified image plane (or sub-image thereof) in the reader's native data structure.
