libCZI is an Open Source Cross-Platform C++ library to read and write CZI.
libCZI is a library intended for providing read and write access to CZI featuring:
- reading subblocks and get the content as a bitmap
- reading subblocks which are compressed with JPEG-XR
- works with tiled images and pyramid images
- composing multi-channel images with tinting and applying a gradation curve
- access metadata
- writing subblocks and metadata
In a nutshell, it offers (almost...) the same functionality as the 2D-Viewer in ZEN - in terms of composing the image (including display-settings) and managing the data found in a CZI-file.
