Package: imagej Version: 1.39b-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Paolo,
To write the description of ImageJ, you started from the Installation chapter of its documentation, and shortened it by transforming sentences to bullet lists. http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/docs/intro.html http://packages.debian.org/sid/imagej Unfortunaltey, I have the feeling that you have removed essential informations. Here are two examples: "It supports "stacks", a series of images that share a single window." became * supports "stacks", series of images "It can calculate area and pixel value statistics of user-defined selections." became * calculate area and pixel value statistics In fact, since the original text is not a bullet list, I do not think that it is a good idea to summarise it like this. The resulting list does not have a real structure, and it is very difficult to find a correct title to it (For the moment, it is: "ImageJ main topics:", but for instance, I do not think that "is multithreaded" is a topic...) I would like to propose an alternative description: ImageJ is an image processing program inspired by NIH Image for the Macintosh. It can display, edit, analyze, process, save and print 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit images. It can read many image formats including TIFF, GIF, JPEG, BMP, DICOM, FITS and "raw". It supports "stacks", a series of images that share a single window. . It can calculate area and pixel value statistics of user-defined selections. It can measure distances and angles. It can create density histograms and line profile plots. It supports standard image processing functions such as contrast manipulation, sharpening, smoothing, edge detection and median filtering. . Spatial calibration is available to provide real world dimensional measurements in units such as millimeters. Density or gray scale calibration is also available. . ImageJ is developed by Wayne Rasband ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), is at the Research Services Branch, National Institute of Mental Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA. . Homepage: http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/ Basically, I started from the same source, and kept the paragraph structure. I discarded some thechnical information, for instance discussions about multithreading and plugins. I hope you like it. In the meantime, I will use it in the following page, in which the Debian-Med project lists interesting software for imaging: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-med/imaging Have a nice day, -- Charles Plessy, Wako, Saitama, Japan -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: powerpc (ppc64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-powerpc64 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages imagej depends on: ii blackdown-j2re1.3 [java2-runt 1.3.1 Java(TM) 2 RE, Standard Edition, B ii gij [java2-runtime] 4:4.1.1-15 The GNU Java bytecode interpreter ii gij-4.1 [java2-runtime] 4.1.1-20 The GNU Java bytecode interpreter ii ibm-j2re1.5 [java2-runtime] 1.5.0 Java(TM) 2 RE, Standard Edition, I ii ibm-j2sdk1.5 [java2-runtime] 1.5.0 Java(TM) 2 SDK, Standard Edition, imagej recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
