[vtkusers] How to read header in TIFF images

[H.Vidal, Jr.]

If vtk cannot do this for you, it may itself be using libTIFF to do this.
Which means you should have all the functionality of libTIFF in apps
that use VTK. I find it hard to imagine that the VTK coders wrote the
entire TIFF reader infrastructure from scratch.....anybody care to comment
on this?

In any case, take a look at libtiff, it's easy to use, it's included in 
pretty
much every *nix system I have ever encountered, and it works pretty well.
