Release 2.8

Version 2.8 of DIPlib and DIPimage has been released.

Change list

• Changes to DIPimage:

  • Changed function:
    • Simplified the internal structure of measure and related functions, using function handles. Some derived measurements that are computed outside of DIPlib now also set the 'axes' and 'units' properties.
    • dipisosurface produces better looking surfaces by adding an additional light behind the surface. It also has an additional input argument for the initial threshold.
    • gaussianblob is much faster.
    • @dip_image/rotate now also rotates 2D vector images.
    • When a dip_image is a single pixel, its value is displayed in a more useful way.
    • Indexing into dip_image objects is a little faster now, as are functions such as imarsize, isvector, and istensor.
  • Bug fixes:
    • The internal function di_convertphysDims now works correctly, and is used in more functions. It takes care of properly adjusting the physical dimensions of a pixel.
    • The window title of linked image displays did not update correctly in certain circumstances.
    • resample did not set the units for the physical dimensions of the output image.
    • readim: avoiding errors with wrong metadata while reading BioFormats (fix by Rainer Heintzmann).
    • writeavi was rewritten to work on newer MATLABs. readavi still does not work.

• Changes to DIPlib
  (These might or might not propagate to DIPimage)

  • New functions:
    • dip_Measure has a new derived function: dip_FeatureAspectRatioFeretID.
  • Bug fixes:
    • dip_BinaryPropagation mixed up output dimensions under some circumstances.
