Magick::CoderInfo

The CoderInfo class provides the means to provide information regarding ImageMagick support for an image format (designated by a magick string). It may be used to provide support for a specific named format (provided as an argument to the constructor), or as an element of a container when format support is queried using the coderInfoList() templated function.

The following code fragment illustrates how CoderInfo may be used.

CoderInfo info("GIF"); 
cout < info->name() << ": (" << info->description() << ") : "; 
cout << "Readable = "; 
if ( info->isReadable() ) 
  cout << "true"; 
else 
  cout << "false"; 
cout << ", "; 
cout << "Writable = "; 
if ( info->isWritable() ) 
  cout << "true"; 
else 
  cout << "false"; 
cout << ", "; 
cout << "Multiframe = "; 
if ( info->isMultiframe() ) 
  cout << "true"; 
else 
  cout << "false"; 
cout << endl;

The methods available in the CoderInfo class are shown in the following table:
