public void open()
```
    Displays a file open dialog box and then opens the tiff, dicom, fits, pgm, jpeg, bmp, gif, lut, roi, or text file selected by the user. Displays an error message if the selected file is not in a supported format. This is the method that ImageJ's File/Open command uses to open files.

    IJ.open(), IJ.open(String), IJ.openImage(), IJ.openImage(String)
  - open
```
public void open(String path)
```
    Opens and displays the specified tiff, dicom, fits, pgm, jpeg, bmp, gif, lut, roi, or text file. Displays an error message if the file is not in a supported format.
