imfinfo

Gets information from the image, without reading pixel data, using functions defined in the omlimgtoolbox.

Syntax

R = imfinfo(file)

R = imfinfo(file, ext)

Inputs

file: Name of the image file.; Type: string
ext (optional): Specifies the extension to use for the image file to be read. If this option is used, file should be the base name with no extension specified.; Type: string

Outputs

R

The resulting structure with information about the image in file. R contains the following fields:

BitDepth: Bit depth of the image.
ByteOrder: Byte order stored. Values are 'big-endian' if bytes are packed with the most significant first, 'little-endian' otherwise, or 'undefined' if it cannot be determined.
ColorType: Color type of the image. Values are 'grayscale' for grayscale, 'indexed' if an image indexes into a color map, and 'truecolor' otherwise.
Comment: Text, if any, associated with the image.
Compression: Compression type, if available.
DelayTime: Delay in milliseconds before reading the next image for image formats that support animation.
DisposalMethod: Specifies how succeeding frames are rendered for image formats that support animation.
FileModDate: Last modification date of the image file on disk.
FileSize: Size of the image file on disk.
Filename: Absolute, normalized path to the image.
Format: Image type.
Height: Height of the image in pixels.
LoopCount: Number of loop iterations for an animation.
Quality: Quality of the image, with values from 0-100, 100 being the highest quality.
Width: Width of the image in pixels.

Type: struct
