What is the toolbox

Vaa3D uses not only some of the existing image file formats (e.g. TIFF) to store 3D image stacks, but also uses its own Vaa3D's Raw format, which has a simple format and read/save much faster than the 3D TIFF format.

This ImageJ (and also Fiji) plugin is a Java program to load and save Vaa3D's raw format. This plugin was developed primarily by Yinan Wan in 2011.

Get the toolbox

The toolbox is available as a sub-folder after you check out Vaa3D's source code. You can also directly check it out from SVN

svn co https://svn.janelia.org/penglab/projects/vaa3d/trunk/imagej_io/v3draw_io_imagej  v3draw_io_imagej 

Use the toolbox

1. Copy the folder of this toolbox to your ImageJ->plugins directory.
2. (Re)start ImageJ and simply run the raw_reader and raw_writer plugins in Plugins->Raw Processor menu.

If the plugins are not in the plugin menu, or if you changed the source code and want to re-build the plugins:

1. Click Plugins->Compile and Run...
2. Choose the .java file to re-build and run the plugin.
