Package: libminc-dev (2.0.15-3)

MNI medical image format development environment

This package contains the library and headers for libminc2 and libvolume_io2.

The Minc file format is a highly flexible medical image file format. Minc version 1 is built on top of the NetCDF generalized data format. Minc version 2 is built on top of the HDF data format. This library handles both formats. In each case the format is simple, self-describing, extensible, portable and N-dimensional, with programming interfaces for both low-level data access and high-level volume manipulation. On top of the libraries is a suite of generic image-file manipulation tools. The format, libraries and tools are designed for use in a medical-imaging research environment : they are simple and powerful and make no attempt to provide a pretty interface to users.
