2. I declare I will use DIPimage or DIPlib only for non-commercial purposes.
3. I declare I will not redistribute any of this software.

Compatibility

Version 2.9 of DIPimage is compatible with MATLAB R2008a and up. This version will not run on older versions of MATLAB!

• On MacOS, this version of DIPimage is compatible only with MATLAB R2009bSP1 and up.
• MATLAB R2015b has a “feature” which results in an error with some DIPimage functions (e.g. read color images). This “feature” has been resolved in version R2016a. In other words: do not use MATLAB R2015b with DIPimage.
• Starting this version, 32-bit Windows is no longer supported. For 32-bit Windows support please download an older version.

All versions have been tested on the following platforms:

Download

Please make sure you follow the installation instructions found in the DIPimage User Manual.

• For Linux 32-bits: dipimage_2.9_lin32.tbz.
• For Linux 64-bits: dipimage_2.9_lin64.tbz.
• For MacOS X (10.6 or higher): dipimage_2.9_darwin.tbz.
• For Windows 64-bits DIPimage 2.9 installer win64.exe (recommended) or dipimage_2.9_win64.zip (for manual installation).

The set of demo images can be downloaded in two forms:

• images.tbz or
• images.zip.

Both files contain the same files, so you only need to download one format.

DIPimage documentation:

• User Manual (PDF)
• Introduction to DIPimage (PDF)
• Function reference is available within the toolbox
• MEX-file programming with DIPimage (PDF)

DIPlib documentation:

• Programmers Guide (PDF)
• Function Reference (PDF) (~3Mb)
• Online Function Reference (HTML)

DIPlib sample source code:

• Sample stand-alone application in C
• Same application without error-handling macros
• Demonstration of the measurement functions
• Stand-alone application to create a thumbnail (this is a more complete and useful sample)

Older releases

Throughout time support for older versions of MATLAB has been dropped. Older releases of DIPimage might support these older versions. These can be found in their respective directories on our FTP site: https://ftp.imphys.tudelft.nl/DIPimage/.

Also other older platforms have been supported in previous releases of DIPlib and DIPimage. These can be found here: https://ftp.imphys.tudelft.nl/DIPimage/unsupported.
