ImgFormat_GetInfo_JSN

Return information about an image format.
ImgFormat_GetInfo_JSN(formatID) ➔ formatInfoJSON
formatID Text Image format identifier
↩︎ formatInfoJSON Text The image format information in JSON.

Return information about an image format.

Parameter formatID is the identifier of the image format. If formatID is not a valid image format identifier or empty, an empty string is returned.

Information about the image format is returned in formatInfoJSON as a JSON-serialized 4D object containing the following properties:

Image Format Info
Property name Type Description
ID String The identifier of the format.
Name String The name of the format.
UTI String The Universal Type Identifier of the format.
MIMETypes array string A list of MIME types associated with the format.
Extensions array string A list of filename extensions associated with the format.
CanEncode Boolean Set to True if the format supports encoding/exporting.
IsRaster Boolean Set to True if the format raster-based.
IsVector Boolean Set to True if the format vector-based.
HasThumbnails Boolean Set to True if the format supports embedded thumbnails.
HasXMP Boolean Set to True if the format supports XMP.

Note

The ImgFormat_GetInfo method in the Q2PixLib component is a convenience wrapper for this method that returns the format information directly as a 4D object instead of a JSON serialization.
