Hi,
I just released LSM_Reader 4.0e and LSM_Toolbox 4.0e to read ZEISS LSM
images.
Until now, the pixel reading methods had to be duplicated from the
LSM_Reader into the LSM_Toolbox and vice-versa.
This has changed, and the toolbox now relies on LSM_Reader v4.0e or above to
read the image data.
The main advantage for users of the toolbox is that image metadata is only
read on-demand, resulting in faster image loading.
The main advantage for me is that both plugins now perform different tasks,
which dramatically reduces the amount of replicated code between both
plugins and simplifies their future maintenance.
A new feature of the toolbox is the XML export function (including static
methods to read LSM XML from other plugins).
LSM_Toolbox v4.0e changelog
* Major changes in LSMToolbox and LSMReader. LSMToolbox requires
LSMReader 4.0e or above.
* LSMReader opens the images, Metadata is read "on demand" by the
LSMToolbox, resulting in considerable time gain during image loading
* added an xml export function of LSM image metadata
* included Magic Montage 1.4
* Java 1.5 required (raised from 1.4.2)
LSM_Reader v4.0e changelog
* added several hooks and calls to facilitate communication with
LSM_Toolbox.
You can download both plugins at www.image-archive.org.
