Retrieve Bayer CFA pattern.

Hi,

Sorry if this has been posted before! I would like to know if there is an API call to retrieve what is the Bayer CFA pattern ('RGGB', 'BGGR', 'GRBG', 'GBRG'. I ) on a given image. Dcraw can be called with -v -i and will output the pattern, RG/GB for example here:

imgdata.idata.cdesc contatins color description string (RGBG or CMYG)

Use dcraw-like code to output it, substitute fcol() with COLOR()

Thanks Alex!

Thanks Alex!

I'm coming back on that one,

I'm coming back on that one, I wanted to know how imgdata.idata.cdesc returns the CFA pattern: Is it in clock-wise order or on a per row basis?:

Taking RGBG and respective 1-based indices is it:

1 2
4 3

or

 
1 2
3 4

It seems to me that it is in clock-wise order but I would like confirmation.

Looks like it is actually the

Looks like it is actually the duty of imgdata.idata.filters to provide that order.
