To whom it may concern,

Can anyone point me to the API which identifies RAW data format and then display RAW data in color format?

With ImageMagick installed, I am impressed that ImageMagick can automatically identify RAW data saved from Point Grey FireFly SDK and display the image perfectly.

Therefore I want to integrate ImageMagick with my program but don't know which API I should use.

Thank you for taking time on my question.

Best,

"RAW" image files can mean (a) pixel data with no header, (b) pixel data with a simple header that gives just the image size and depth, (c) raw sensor data (mosaiced) from digital cameras or (d) something else.

I don't know which you mean.

"identify file.ext" will generally give you information.

"display file.ext" or "imdisplay file.ext" will generally show the image.
