displaying non-square pixels?

[Colin Poczatek]

Is there a way for an ImageCanvas to display non-square pixels?  That is
if the pixel aspect ratio was 1 : 0.5 and the underlying data was square
(say 100 x 100 ) what is displayed on the screen is rectangular?  I'm
currently only concerned with display only.  I haven't found any imagej
/ java / awt examples of this kind of thing.

Collin,

The Orthogonal Views plugin (Image > Stacks... > Orthogonal Views)can
handle the situation where pixel depth / slice thickness is different to
lateral resolution, common in CT scans and confocal microscopy.  Perhaps
this approach could be generalised to all planes?
