<div dir="ltr">Hello everyone,<div><br></div><div>Around 3 years ago I wrote to this mailing list that I am working on a MATLAB wrapper for the Openslide library. My original plan was to build a comprehensive MATLAB digital slides viewer based on Openslide. Unfortunately, although I have a slide viewer that is good enough for my own needs, because of other engagements I did not manage to go beyond this.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Since my first email, several people wrote me asking for the code for reading digital slides in MATLAB using Openslide, and I gladly shared it with them. It seems that there is an increasing interest for accessing digital slides from MATLAB, so I decided to publicly share the code which can now be found here: </div>

A major limitation is that only a single slide can be read at a time <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px">(two or more slides cannot be simultaniousely opened). However, this and other functionalities can be easily implemented using this code as a reference.</span><br>
