CImage:PixelType (replaces Datatype)

The PixelType method returns the pixel type of image pixels as a numeric code. The pixel type refers to the value representation stored in the pixel (integer, real, etc.).

Syntax

nCode = CImage:PixelType()

Remarks

The pixel type returned by this method is defined in the Pixel Types table. You can also use the PixelTypeStr method to retrieve the pixel type name as a string.

Example

Suppose the file sPath contains an image with "long" (32 bit integer) pixels. The following script prints the pixel type of the image:

I = new_image()

-- Create a CImage

I:Open( sPath )

-- Open the image from file path sPath.

d = I:PixelType()

-- retrieve the numeric pixel type

Printf( "Pixel Type = %d\n",d)

-- result: Pixel Type = 4

I:delete()

-- delete the CImage from memory
