public class IM3Reader
extends FormatReader
```
Author:

Lee Kamentsky This is a FormatReader for the Perkin-Elmer Nuance line of multispectral imaging microscopes' .im3 file format. The .im3 format stores 63 planes representing intensity measurements taken on separate spectral bands. The pixel intensity at a single band might be used as a proxy for fluorophore presence, but the best results are obtained if the whole spectrum is used to synthesize an intensity. The most efficient strategy is to use IM3Reader.openRaw() to fetch the entire image which may then be scanned sequentially to create one planar image per desired signal. IM3Reader may be run as a Java application to dump a per-record description of the file to standard output

    Description copied from interface: IFormatReader
    
    Obtains a sub-image of the specified image plane into a pre-allocated byte array.
    
    Specified by:
    
    openBytes in interface IFormatReader
    
    Specified by:
    
    openBytes in class FormatReader
    
    Parameters:
    
    no - the plane index within the current series.
    
    buf - a pre-allocated buffer.
    
    x - X coordinate of the upper-left corner of the sub-image
    
    y - Y coordinate of the upper-left corner of the sub-image
    
    w - width of the sub-image
    
    h - height of the sub-image
    
    Returns:
    
    the pre-allocated buffer buf for convenience.
    
    Throws:
    
    FormatException - if there was a problem parsing the metadata of the file.
    
    java.io.IOException - if there was a problem reading the file.
  - openRaw
```
public byte[] openRaw()
               throws java.io.IOException
```
    Open the current series in raw-mode, returning the interleaved image bytes. The data format for a pixel is a run of 63 unsigned short little endian values.
    
    Returns:
    
    a byte array containing the data organized by spectral channel, then x, then y. Returns null if, for some incomprehensible reason, the DATA block was missing.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException
  - getSpectra
```
public java.util.List<IM3Reader.Spectrum> getSpectra()
```
    If a Nuance file is a spectral library set (.csl) file, there is a spectral library inside that contains a profile of spectral bin magnitudes for each of several measured fluorophores (or auto fluorescence). This method finds the spectral library and returns the spectra inside.
    
    Returns:
    
    a list of the Spectrum records contained in the library

```
    Description copied from class: FormatReader
    
    Initializes the given file (parsing header information, etc.). Most subclasses should override this method to perform initialization operations such as parsing metadata.
    
    Overrides:
    
    initFile in class FormatReader
    
    Throws:
    
    FormatException - if a parsing error occurs processing the file.
    
    java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs processing the file
  - parseString

protected static java.lang.String parseString(loci.common.IRandomAccess is)
                                       throws java.io.IOException
```
    Parse a string from the IM3 file at the current file pointer loc
    
    Parameters:
    
    is - stream to read from
    
    Returns:
    
    parsed string or null for string of zero length
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException
  - parseRecord
```
private static IM3Reader.IM3Record parseRecord(loci.common.IRandomAccess is)
                                        throws java.io.IOException
```
    Parse an IM3 record at the current file pointer location
    
    Parameters:
    
    is - random access stream, pointing at the record's start (the length-quadword of the record's tag name)
    
    Returns:
    
    an IM3Record or subclass depending on the record's type
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - on file misparsing leading to overrun and other
  - isThisType
```
public boolean isThisType(loci.common.RandomAccessInputStream stream)
                   throws java.io.IOException
```
    Description copied from interface: IFormatReader
    
    Checks if the given stream is a valid stream for this file format. The number of bytes read is format-dependent.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isThisType in interface IFormatReader
    
    Overrides:
    
    isThisType in class FormatReader
    
    Parameters:
    
    stream - A RandomAccessInputStream representing the file to check. The first byte in the stream is assumed to be the first byte in the file.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the file represented by the stream can be read by this reader; false otherwise.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException
  - setSeries
```
public void setSeries(int no)
```
    Description copied from interface: IFormatReader
    
    Activates the specified series. This also resets the resolution to 0.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setSeries in interface IFormatReader
    
    Overrides:
    
    setSeries in class FormatReader
  - close
```
public void close(boolean fileOnly)
           throws java.io.IOException
```
    Description copied from interface: IFormatReader
    
    Closes the currently open file. If the flag is set, this is all that happens; if unset, it is equivalent to calling Closeable.close().
    
    Specified by:
    
    close in interface IFormatReader
    
    Overrides:
    
    close in class FormatReader
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException
  - writeSummary

public void writeSummary()
                  throws java.io.IOException
```
    Write a summary of each field in the IM3 file to the writer
