Bio-Formats is a standalone Java library for reading and writing life sciences image file formats. It is capable of parsing both pixels and metadata for a large number of formats, as well as writing to several formats. Purpose ------- Bio-Formats's primary purpose is to convert proprietary microscopy data into an open standard called the OME data model, particularly into the OME-TIFF file format. See the statement of purpose for a thorough explanation and rationale: http://loci.wisc.edu/bio-formats/about Supported formats ----------------- For a complete list of supported formats, See the list online at: http://loci.wisc.edu/bio-formats/formats For users --------- Many software packages use Bio-Formats to read and write microscopy formats: http://loci.wisc.edu/bio-formats/applications For developers -------------- You can use Bio-Formats to easily support these formats in your software: http://loci.wisc.edu/bio-formats/bio-formats-java-library More information ---------------- For more information, see the Bio-Formats web site: http://loci.wisc.edu/software/bio-formats Pull request testing -------------------- We welcome pull requests from anyone, but ask that you please verify the following before submitting a pull request: * verify that the branch merges cleanly into ```develop``` * verify that the branch compiles with the ```clean jars tools``` Ant targets * verify that the branch compiles using Maven * verify that the branch does not use syntax or API specific to Java 1.6+ * if you are making any build system or packaging changes, verify that OMERO (openmicroscopy/openmicroscopy) builds when the components/bioformats submodule is pointed to your branch * run the unit tests (```ant test```) and correct any failures * test at least one file in each affected format, using the ```showinf``` command * internal developers only: run the data tests as described here: http://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/ome/wiki/BioFormats-CommitTesting against directories corresponding to the affected format(s), as well as the test_per_commit directory * make sure that your commits contain the correct authorship information and, if necessary, a signed-off-by line * make sure that the commit messages or pull request comment contains sufficient information for the reviewer(s) to understand what problem was fixed and how to test it
