ScanAmorphos Plug-in

The purpose of the scanamorphos plug-in is to read data from the scanamorphos program. Output from this program is not directly readable in HIPE, due to omissions in the WCS information. This plug-in provides a task called importScanAmorphos, which loads the data, fixes the WCS and produces a SimpleImage.

Please make sure that you have installed the plug-in correctly. In HIPE, select Tools --> Plugins, and check that the plug-in is there. Aside from incorrect installation, a problem could be that the plug-in is disabled because it is not compatible with your version of HIPE. In that case, you can:

• change the version of HIPE you're using, or
• install a different version of the plug-in (multiple versions can be installed alongside), or
• request that version of the plug-in be made available for your version of HIPE.
