NDPI format and NDPITools

[Alvaro Gonzalez]

Hi there,

I've been invistigating around the mailing list for support on the NDPI 
format the Hamamatsu Nanozoomer throws. I've seen some work around it 
and, AFAIK, there's no support on Openslide, and, I think, no work 
currently going on (please correct me if I'm wrong).

We are using for that means NDPITools [1] , that's opensource (although 
I don't see any link providing source on their webpage), works mostly 
fine and it does even extract Z Levels.

Problem is it does only one thing: extracting images. AFAIK, no metadata 
is provided so it's of little help for our PACS importing software, and 
we don't get the scanning power or MPPs por creating ROIs later.

Have any of you some contact with this proyect or their source so it 
could merge with Openslide, and/or any way of extracting metadata from 
NDPI files?
