This is a general purpose TIFF I/O utility for R. The tiff
package already exists for
this purpose but ijtiff
adds some functionality and overcomes some
bugs therein.
ijtiff
can write TIFF files whose pixel values are real
(floating-point) numbers; tiff
cannot.ijtiff
can read and write text images; tiff
cannot.tiff
struggles to interpret channel information and gives cryptic
errors when reading TIFF files written by the ImageJ software;
ijtiff
works smoothly with these images.To learn about ijtiff
and how to use it, visit the package website at
https://docs.ropensci.org/ijtiff/.
