Openslide Usage

Hi Nikolay,

It should be relatively easy to get the XML out of the file if you use the LibTIFF library (http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/). The following code snippet should do it:

TIFF *tiff = TIFFOpen(“file-path-to-scn.scn”, “r8”);
if (0 != tiff) {
  char *image_desc = 0;
  if (1 == TIFFGetField(tiff, TIFFTAG_IMAGEDESCRIPTION, &image_desc) {
    // image_desc now points to a buffer containing the XML
  }
}

Don’t forget to close the TIFF when finished.

Cheers
John
