[ImageJ-devel] [fiji-devel] New methods in CalibratedSpace

[Stephan Saalfeld]

The other way round---no?

ImagePlusImg is a container to use an existing ImagePlus transparently
through ImgLib2, in other words a `non-copying' wrapper into another
library's data.  ImgPlus is a construct that mimics ImageJ's ImagePlus
in a sense that it combines any Img (ImageProcessor/ImageStack in ImageJ
speak) with rudimentary though useful meta-data such as a name and
linear calibration factors.  ImgPlus is most useful in the context of
ImageJ2 where exactly that meta-data is needed.

Best,
Stephan
