public interface IFormatHandler
extends java.io.Closeable, IMetadataConfigurable

Interface for all biological file format readers and writers.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
java.lang.String	getFormat() Gets the name of this file format.
java.lang.Class<?>	getNativeDataType() Returns the native data type of image planes for this reader, as returned by IFormatReader.openPlane(int, int, int, int, int) or IFormatWriter.savePlane(int, java.lang.Object).
java.lang.String[]	getSuffixes() Gets the default file suffixes for this file format.
boolean	isThisType(java.lang.String name) Checks if the given string is a valid filename for this file format.
void	setId(java.lang.String id) Sets the current file name.

Method Detail

isThisType

boolean isThisType(java.lang.String name)

Checks if the given string is a valid filename for this file format.

getFormat

java.lang.String getFormat()

Gets the name of this file format.

getSuffixes

java.lang.String[] getSuffixes()

Gets the default file suffixes for this file format.

getNativeDataType

java.lang.Class<?> getNativeDataType()

Returns the native data type of image planes for this reader, as returned by IFormatReader.openPlane(int, int, int, int, int) or IFormatWriter.savePlane(int, java.lang.Object). For most readers this type will be a byte array; however, some readers call external APIs that work with other types such as BufferedImage.

setId

void setId(java.lang.String id)
    throws FormatException,
           java.io.IOException

Sets the current file name.

Throws:

FormatException

java.io.IOException
