Hi,

It works pretty well for a preliminary version.  I like it, but am
accustomed to the current ImageJ windows.  I wonder if this could be
used to rewrite ImageJ to use Swing , but make the type of window
interface an option.  Would there be any speed or memory advantages to
doing this?  Would there be better tools for panning and zooming (i.e.
scrollbars)  in this version? It has a better look and feel for sure.
