Extracting bar code label and overview image from MRXS slide

[Agelos Pappas]

Hi Tom,

there is an OpenSlide API function for this called 
"openslide_read_associated_image"
http://openslide.org/api/openslide_8h.html#a71ace07f87c9aeab328d3a6efcd2f983

You can get the available associated image names for a slide by first 
calling "openslide_get_associated_image_names"
http://openslide.org/api/openslide_8h.html#af6400c16cf1a94557f013f301ee2ea4d

The type of image you are interested in is usually called "label"

Regards
Agelos
