[Gimp-developer] viewing Dectris X-ray detector data

[stanley esrf fr]

Hi there

I was wondering how easy (?!) it might be to change the GIMP data  
input/output routines so that instead of reading/writing jpg images  
"GIMPX" could read/write Dectris X-ray detector format data...

In fact, we would really only be interested in a very small subset of  
all the image processing that GIMP can do.  For example, certain zones  
of the 2d detector need to be masked before further data analysis can  
proceed.  The ability to select contiguous regions based on count-rate  
would be very helpful.

thanks for any replies !
