> We also spent a lot of time writing one for VTK,
> as part of BioImageXD project.
>
> We use both VTK and ITK in that project,
> but have kept our vtkLSMReader as part of out vtkBXD external C++ kit.
> You can see it there in our svn repository.
>
> The LSM format is a real pig, as you probably know,
> and extracting all the important meta data is really important for  
> post processing those images.
>
> It would probably make sense to merge our code,
> and have a single C++ LSM reader for ITK / VTK?
>
> We finally managed to get our reader to read the compressed LSM  
> files...
> does the itkLSM code handle that?
>
> What do you think about a merge?
>
> Our code is currently GPL, but i think we can move stuff to be under  
> the VTK style license without any real hassle.
>
> On the other hand.... for biological image format support,
> we should really all be working with the
> LOCI bio-formats project,
> and getting VTK/ITK to work with that java project..
>
> we already both reinvented the wheel once with the 2 LSM readers....
