RMagick: Get a list of available formats

With RMagick, is there any way to get a list of all the available image formats for writing to? I want to fill a <select> tag with all of the different writable formats.

Solution

  • Ruby 1.9.2

     Magick.formats.select {|image_format, mode_string| mode_string.include? 'w' }.keys.each do |image_format|
    puts image_format
 end
