Importing the First Image Volume using Customization

The first image volume has the following special properties:

Files in the Analyze and MINC Image formats should be loaded rather than imported. Several file types can be imported directly without the need for customization.

Customized images can be imported into MultiTracer in one of two ways:

To import the first volume image as raw images:

To import the first volume image using custom written Java code:

If you have already loaded or imported a file and choose to import a new first image volume with different dimensions, any tracings of structures will be discarded (you will be given a opportunity to save them first). Nonetheless, it is always a good idea to save your traces before you import a new image.

If you have previously loaded or imported a file and choose to import a new first image volume with the same dimensions, you will be given the option to discard or to retain any existing traces.

File importing in MultiTracer relies on public domain Java classes in Wayne Rasband's ImageJ 1.29 program. If you want to help support importing of additional file formats into future versions of MultiTracer, please consider contributing code to Wayne Rasband for incorporation into ImageJ.
