[chimera-dev] IMAGIC-5 and Chimera

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Michael,

  I develop the Chimera volume data display and file readers.  If you 
would like Chimera to read IMAGIC-5 format I can probably add that.  
Your documentation looks good.  Is it generally the case that the header 
file (suffix ".hed") and image file (suffix ".img") are in the same 
directory?  I ask because opening files in Chimera is done by giving a 
single file path (could be your header file or raw image data file), and 
it will have to find the related file.

  To write the file reader I would need one or a few example files to 
test with.

  I am working on many projects.  This file reader might take 1 to 2 
days which could be done some time in the next couple months.

  I think this will be useful to the EM community and I will be happy to 
discuss any other file format issues related to EM2EM and Chimera.

    Tom
