[ome-devel] Python Script: Copy all metadata from one Image to another.

[Chris Allan]

Hi Jerome,

Sorry for the much delayed reply. The answer is that you probably want to create that image using the IPixels service rather than using "script_utils." There are three methods on IPixels for performing tasks such as these:

 * copyAndResizePixels()
 * copyAndResizeImage()
 * createImage()  -- (Which "createNewImage()" in script_utils.py uses under the hood)

You should be able to create a largely copied metadata set by using either of the copyAndResize methods with just the original sizes.

Documentation for the IPixels service is available here:
