Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the suggestion, I currently have my plugin opening the files by
multiplying the height by the number of channels and letting the user
manipulate the stack further perhaps as you suggest.
However some of the files we deal with are very large on the order of
multiple gigabytes and so what I want to do is to open these files as
virtual stacks. Unfortunately the only way to do so is to modify the ImageJ
code.
Regards,
-Josh
