=============== Imageio formats =============== This page lists all formats currently supported by imageio. Each format can support extra keyword arguments for reading and writing, which can be specified in the call to ``get_reader()``, ``get_writer()``, ``imread()``, ``imwrite()`` etc. Further, formats are free to provide additional methods on their Reader and Writer objects. These parameters and extra methods are specified in the documentation for each format.
