Help with handling 27 gigapixel image

[Leonid Bloch]

Hi Benjamin,

I figured out a solution! After many different(!) errors and not correct
representations, I compiled the latest libtiff from source and compiled
OpenSlide with it, instead of the libtiff that came with Ubuntu 11.10.
Now the display is correct!

Plus, I've looked over the code, and started to learn some Python. I wanted
to learn some serious programming language (apart from Maple and shell
scripting, which I know) long ago, although I study materials engineering
and computers are more of a hobby for me. Many people told me that Python
is a good place to start. So that's a good starting point!


Thank you very much,
Leonid.
