LayerType

Declaration:

TMetaData.LayerType (idx: integer): TLayerType;

The property LayerType provides access to the type of a specific layer (specified by the parameter idx). If idx contains an invalid value the function returns ctUndefined on read and does nothing on write. The following layer types are declared: ctUndefined .... undefined/unknown property type ctIRspec ....... IR spectrum ctMSPos ........ MS positive spectrum (lines) ctMSPosRaw ..... MS positive spectrum (continuous) ctMSNeg ........ MS negative spectrum (lines) ctMSNegRaw ..... MS negative spectrum (continuous) ctMSsim ........ MS single ion monitoring (lines) ctRaman ........ Raman spectrum ctUvVis ........ UV/VIS/NIR spectrum ctColor ........ individual color ctRGBcolors .... red green and blue from a color image (always three layers!) ctBwImg ........ black and white image (gray scale 0..255 per pixel) ctPixMask ...... pixel mask (deprecated!! masks are managed in an extra structure from version 1.0 upwards) ctPhysProp ..... physical properties ctTHzSpec ...... THz spectrum ctImpulse ...... impulse over time ctOESRaw ....... optical emission spectroscopy (single lines) ctOESsl ........ optical emission spectroscopy (single lines) ctEDX .......... energy dispersive xray (single lines) ctEDXRaw ....... energy dispersive xray (raw spectra) ctSIMS ......... SIMS lines ctAFM .......... AFM layers ctIRdiscrete ... discrete infrared lines ctClassMap ..... classification results ctChemMap ...... chemical map ctSpecDesc ..... spectral descriptor ctPhaseSpec .... phase spectrum ctMagSpec ...... magnitude spectrum ctPowerSpec .... power spectrum ctLibsRaw ...... LIBS raw data (continuous spectrum) ctLibssl ....... LIBS single line data ctTime ......... time ctInvalid ...... indicates an invalid layer type
