Hi Sebastian, In general there is little overlap (there are 1 or 2 functions which are replicated). I wrote mahotas mostly to get functions that I wasn't finding elsewhere (or, occasionally, to make them faster). Ndimage, in some ways, contains more basic functions, mahotas has a bit more advanced functions (at the cost of having a somewhat idiosyncratically chosen set of functions). I do use ndimage in a couple of places (mostly to do convolution). So, they complement themselves rather than compete. Here are a couple of differences in philosophy: - ndimage is *always* n-D. Mahotas is mostly n-D but some functions are specialised to 2-D (patches always welcome if you want to extend them). - mahotas is written in templated C++, ndimage is C with macros. - ndimage tries to be very generic in its interfaces (which makes some of them hard to use at first), mahotas tries to have natural interfaces.
