    - 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:

  - 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:

    Overrides:
    
    isInterleaved in class FormatReader
  - 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.
