[vtkusers] TiffReader reading single 3D-Tiff-File

[Lars Matthäus]

Hi Jim,

thanks for your reply! But using ITK is not really an option for me
since I'm doing my programming in JAVA (where I haven't got a running
ITK version and have never sen one).
So it seems that a split in several images is best. I'll try tiffsplit next.
