[Insight-developers] Is there a definitive list of File type suffixes?

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Kent,

That's good point,

We don't have a centralized list of file extensions.
They are buried now in the code of each ImageIO.

Let's try to reconstruct the list here:

1) .mhd  = MetaImage single file
2) .mha  = MetaImage (header + raw) 2 files
3) .vtk  = VTK format
4) .gipl = GIPL
5) .raw  = RAW format (I suggest we deprecate this one...)
6)  ???  = VOL
7)  ???  = Analyze
8) .png  = PNG format
9) .pgm  = PGM format (to be converted in an ImageIO class)

10)   other ?


Please if someone can help to fill in the blanks,
that will be great.


    Luis
