[Insight-users] image pixel type

[Christoph Palm]

Hi Luis,

thanks for your answer. You are absolutely right, that
I have to use a try/catch block to handle such errors.
But that was not my real problem. 

To be more precise:
I deal internally e.g. with integer values or double
precision. The user should be free to choose an
output file format like png or tif. I want to write
the image with the lowest possible quantization error.
That means if I know, tif is able to store integer I
wouldn´t have to cast to unsigned char.
Or think about vector images: If png cannot store vectors
I wan`t to tell the user _before_ I try and e.g. give
him/her hints what file format whould be better.

Regards

Christoph
