LIBTIFF

TIFF is a widely known image file format. This package provides an interface to the libtiff library for the Julia language.

Project State

This package is in alpha currently. It only supports reading of grayscale and RGB images. Multipages are not supported. The goal is to provide a package that is able to handle different format types, like 16 bit Integers and tiled tiffs.

Installation

Since this is only a wrapper for libtiff, the library needs to be installed. On most Unix systems this is already the case. Inside julia: Pkg.clone("[email protected]:pglock/LIBTIFF.jl.git")

Quickstart

Start with

using LIBTIFF

You can read a file directly via it's filename

# read all data
A = tiffread("test_data/grey_tile_float32.tif")

#read only a part
part = tiffread("test_data/grey_tile_float32.tif", 10:20, 30:45)

or open it

t = tiffopen("test_data/grey_tile_float32.tif")
s = size(t)
# eltype(t) == Float32
# t[:, :] is currently not supported
A = t[1:s[1], 1:s[2]]
part = t[10:20, 30:45]
