Subject:      Documentation of fields in ij.io.FileInfo?

I'm currently using both an ImageJ plug-in and a custom image processing
app, written in Cocoa for OS X. In an effort to consolidate (and just to see
if it can be done), I'd like to try to add ImageJ plug-in support to my OS X
app*. Converting from the cocoa-native image reprsentation to an ImagePlus
is pretty straight forward. Going the other way (ImagePlus->Cocoa), it seems
the easiest way is to generate an ij.io.FileInfo object for the ImagePlus
and initialize a Cocoa NSBitmapImageRep from the information in the FileInfo
object. Can anyone point me to a description of the fields (and their legal
values) in the FileInfo class (the JavaDoc for it doesn't have any info)? In
particular, I'd like to figure out how to determine if a file is
color/grayscale, if it's planar or interlaced, and what the pixel bit-depth
is. Any pointers greatly appreciated.

On a side note, there was some discussion a while back about a Swing version
of ImageJ. On OS X, it seems that Apple's JVM is still highly optimized for
Swing over straight AWT. Converting my plugins to Swing, instead of using
the built-in ij dialog classes sped up the plug-in's UI significantly.
Perhaps a Swing version of ImageJ is a good idea, at least on OS X.

Thanks.

*If anyone is interested in this when I'm done, I'd be happy to share my
code.
