Hi,
In fact, I asked this question to find a reason to not use ImageJ for my
project. I hoped ImageJ was protected by a licence which forbid to sell it.
I almost already complete my program in C++. But there are several
persons (some of my teachers) who think I would have to use ImageJ.
Of course ImageJ is a very good software and I use it very often this
year for my studies and to test some operators that I didn't know.
But the graphical interface is not adapted to make a soft which will be
used by surgeons.
Is there a project to develop a new interface?
Some of my friends use ImageJ during their training period. They use the
interface. Is it possible to use only the libraries of ImageJ?
And what IDE do you use? They have problem to use Eclipse.
Thanks and sorry again for my english.
Pierre
