Even if you do not wish to use Jim, you can still have free access to the applications programming interface to images held in the UNC, Analyze or NIFTI-1 file formats. This will allow you create, manipulate and process images using your own software. To see the functionality that is available, please see the documentation
To access this software, you should download and install the Java Development Kit for your platform and also Jim. Then make sure that the file "xinapse5.jar" in the Jim install directory is in your classpath.
In any Java programme files you create that want to access the functionality that allows you to read, manipulate and write UNC, Analyze or NIFTI-1 images, you should to include the lines:
import com.xinapse.multisliceimage.*;
import com.xinapse.multisliceimage.UNC.*;
import com.xinapse.multisliceimage.Analyze.*;
If you want to create and manipulate regions of interest (ROIs)
then include the lines:
import com.xinapse.multisliceimage.roi.*;
For the miscellaneous utilities, include:
import com.xinapse.util.*;
The Java compiler javac and Java interpreter
java will need to be told where to find the
appropriate classes by including the path to xinapse5.jar in your classpath.
