[ome-devel] [icy] Re: .MRXS files in ICY

Hi Stephane & everyone,

Bio-Formats provides an API for opening very large image planes in tiles:

    byte[] openBytes(int no, int x, int y, int w, int h)
    byte[] openBytes(int no, byte[] buf, int x, int y, int w, int h)

Any valid tile width and height should behave correctly, but for optimal
performance you can ask for the data's ideal tile size using:

    int getOptimalTileWidth()
    int getOptimalTileHeight()

So hopefully it would not be too difficult for Icy to provide a "crop image
on import" sort of feature -- and maybe eventually a tile-based image
viewer. Please let us know if you have any trouble with it!

Regards,
Curtis

P.S. This week, the ImageJ2 team will be working on the underpinnings in
ImgLib2 for a SCIFIO-driven CellImg with intelligent disk caching. Once
this work is ready, and if Icy becomes capable of using ImgLib2 data
structures at the interface level, you could potentially harness this
feature for tile-based image support.
