Openslide Supporting File Format Question

[Cornwell, Carl (NIH/NLM/LHC) [C]]

The image file you provided is not tiled, thus does not meet the openslide requirement (#3)  for 'openslide_can_open' :

>From http://openslide.org/Generic%20tiled%20TIFF%20format/

OpenSlide will detect a file as generic TIFF if:

 1.  No other detections succeed.
 2.  The file is TIFF.
 3.  The initial image is tiled.

Hope this helps.

- Carl

Also, I attached sample tiff image that I want to use by using openslide as a reference.
It would be great to know whether openslide support this tiff format.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks,
Steve

Hi Andrew,

I have a quick question about TIFF file format.
I am wondering whether openslide supports generic tiff format.
It seems that openslide support generic tiff format when I look at the openslide web site.

Am I correct ?

I installed openslide on Cent OS, and it seems that other formats (including trestle tif and aperio tif) work fine according to the test.c that was provided by the source code.

But, It returned 'false' when I executed 'openslide_can_open' function  to check whether openslide support the tiff format (general tiff file)

So, my question is, does openslide support generic-tif file (traditional ) format ?
If it does, how I can test the code ? why 'openslide_can_open' return false ?

Also, I am wondering whether openslide support 'BIGTIFF' and 'ndpi' file format.

It would be great help if you give me any advices !!

Thanks,
Steve Oh
