get data type imageJ macro

[PEARSON Matthew]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a simple way to query the data type of an opened image within the ImageJ macro language?  I had a look through the built in functions but didn't spot something i thought would be appropriate.  Within a macro i'd like to determine what the data type of the active image is e.g. 8-bit, 16-bit, RGB then the macro will do different things depending on the result.

Thanks for the help,

Matt

bitDepth()
Returns the bit depth of the active image: 8, 16, 24 (RGB) or 32 (float).

Hi
Try this command
bitDepth()

Returns the bit depth of the active image: 8, 16, 24 (RGB) or 32 (float). (taken from https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/functions.html)
