[Insight-users] image pixel type

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Christpoh,

I see you point better now.

It is a good idea to collect a table of image types
supported by each fileformat.  The place to look in
order to gather this information is the directory

         Insight/Code/IO

You should look at each one of the files

         TIFFImageIO.cxx
         JPEGImageIO.cxx
         PNGImageIO.cxx
         ...etc...

A good place for putting this table could be the Wiki
pages. Probably in the FAQ section.

Please let us know if you find any difficulties collecting
this information.


   Thanks


     Luis
