Glymur: a Python interface for JPEG 2000
=========================================
**glymur** contains a Python interface to the OpenJPEG library
**Glymur** contains a Python interface to the OpenJPEG library
which allows linux and mac users to read and write JPEG 2000 files. For more
information about OpenJPEG, please consult http://www.openjpeg.org. glymur
should be considered to be alpha-quality software.
information about OpenJPEG, please consult http://www.openjpeg.org. Glymur
currently relies upon a development version of the OpenJPEG library, and so,
while useable, it is totally at the mercy of any upstream changes
made to the development version of OpenJPEG.
glymur tries to support reading and writing of JP2 and J2C files. Writing
J2C/JP2 files is currently limited to images that can fit in memory, however.
Of particular focus is metadata retrieval, such as XMP packets.
Glymur supports both reading and writing of JPEG 2000 images (part 1). Writing
JPEG 2000 images is currently limited to images that can fit in memory,
however.
There is some very limited support for reading JPX
metadata. For instance, **asoc** and **labl** boxes are recognized, so GMLJP2
metadata can be retrieved from such JPX files.
Of particular focus is retrieval of metadata. Reading XMP UUID
boxes is supported, as the data block consists of XML. There is
