Dear list,
can anybody explain me the basic concept of the following terms used in
the image processing:
what is exactly an Imageplus and an Imageprocessor,what's the difference?
what is the difference between an Imageplus holding 3D images and an
Imagestack?

is an ImageProcessor just a class which contains array of pixels(of
different datatype (Byte,Float....) and the methods packed? but
Imageplus is a container at a top level which implements the
communication with the OP or draws the imageprocessors to the monitor?


Sorry for this quite basic questions, but I realy need to udnerstand
these concept clear.

PS, If I declare an ImageStack object (using "new Imagestack(w,h,z), do
i need initialize each slice using (Imagestack.addslice("",imageprocessor)?

best regards..
