<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Ian<br><br></div>I should stress that although these comments are a bit negative I mean them only in a constructive fashion, and I am completely happy to be contradicted!<br><div><div><br><div>There
are already a couple of rendering tools available - mainly PALMsiever
(which I helped develop, open source), ThunderSTORM (open-source) and VisP (closed source). Being academic software, all of them are a bit buggy, and slowly updated, but essentially, the rendering bit is a (largely) solved problem, software wise. And regards the bugs/ missing features - I would suggest rather than develop new software, just ask for commit rights on PALMsiever or ThunderSTORM - they are both on GitHub!<br><br>The common localization format is on the other hand still an unsolved problem.The nicest point to my mind about focussing just on this aspect is that it's a small(-ish), well defined problem, which it would be quite useful to solve. <br></div><div></div><div><br><div>Best wishes<br></div>Seamus<br>

Does anyone have any comments on Kwasi’s document?.<br>
Based on his thoughts I’ve started looking at developing an open-source OMERO-capable<br>
reconstruction/rendering tool, although not full-time I fear, so progress is slow.<br>
<br>
If anyone has any thoughts it would be good to hear them at this early stage.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
