# isPlanar

A Boolean value that indicates whether the image data is in a planar configuration.

## Declaration

```swift
var isPlanar: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The value of this property is true if the data is in a planar configuration or false if it is in a meshed configuration. In a planar configuration, the image data is segregated into a separate plane for each color and coverage component. In a meshed configuration, the data is integrated into a single plane.
