Detailed Description

Reader/Writer for v3m format images.

Author:

Ian Scott - Imorphics v3m is a VXL specific format designed to store all the information that can be stored in a vimt3d image, using run-length-encryption. We don't recommend its use in general, having no wish to add to the plethora of badly designed image formats out there. However, a means of being able to save, and reload a full vil3d/vimt3d mask or label image using the standard vil3d_load_* API is very useful. The file format currently is different to that provided by v3i or the default vsl serialisation scheme, having learnt lessons from the evolution of v3i. There is an extra v3m-specific magic number to avoid confusion with other vsl data files, and a version number to allow for a change in format.

To use the v3m format with vil3d_load, vil3d_save, etc add the following code at the start of your program

    vil3d_file_format::add_format(new vimt3d_vil3d_v3m_format);
