libCZI is a library intended for providing read-only access to the information contained in CZI-documents.
It features:
- reading subblocks and get the content as a bitmap
- reading subblocks which are compressed with JPEG-XR
- works with tiled images and pyramid images
- composing multi-channel images with tinting and applying a gradation curve
- access metadata
In a nutshell, it offers (almost...) the same functionality as the 2D-viewer in ZEN - in terms of composing the image (including display-settings) and managing the data found in a CZI-file.
The code is written in C++11 and (so far) has been successfully compiled with:
- Visual Studio 2015 (Microsoft C++ v. 19.00.23506)
- GCC 5.2.1 (on Ubuntu Linux 4.2.0)
- Clang 3.4.1 (on FreeBSD 10.2)
It is intended to be easily portable to other platforms.
