### Magick::CoderInfo

The CoderInfo class provides the means to provide information regarding ImageMagick support for an image format (designated by a magick string). It may be used to provide support for a specific named format (provided as an argument to the constructor), or as an element of a container when format support is queried using the coderInfoList() templated function.

The following code fragment illustrates how CoderInfo may be used.

`CoderInfo info("GIF");`
`cout << info->name() << ": (" << info->description() << ") : ";`
`cout << "Readable = ";`
`if ( info->isReadable() )`
`cout << "true";`
`else`
`cout << "false";`
`cout << ", ";`
`cout << "Writable = ";`
`if ( info->isWritable() )`
`cout << "true";`
`else`
`cout << "false";`
`cout << ", ";`
`cout << "Multiframe = ";`
`if ( info->isMultiframe() )`
`cout << "true";`
`else`
`cout << "false";`
`cout << endl;`

The methods available in the CoderInfo class are shown in the following table:
