Release of OME Files C++ 0.4.0

Postby rleigh » Tue Jul 04, 2017 4:03 pm

OME Files C++ 0.4.0

OME Files is a reference implementation of the OME Data Model and OME-TIFF file format for the storage and interchange of biological imaging data and metadata. It provides support for:

  • the OME Data Model (model objects, metadata store, XSL transforms and XML validation)
  • OME-TIFF reading
  • OME-TIFF writing

The major changes in this release are the addition of tiling support to the writer interface and the OME-TIFF writer, and the addition of examples for use of the metadata and model API for adding extended metadata, including annotations.

Downloads

The software release is available at the OME Files C++ 0.4.0 download page. This page includes links to the individual repositories and source releases, as well as the documentation and binary builds of the collection for several common platforms, including Windows, Linux and MacOS X.
