Add testing mention of CentOS, windows. Skipping some tests on versions 1.3 and 1.4 Minor doc mods. For whatever stupid reason, np.log2(x) cannot be relied upon to be an integer when x is a power of 2 ON WIN32!!! All hail win32! Better error message if array-style slice other than [:]

Glymur: a Python interface for JPEG 2000
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
**Glymur** is an interface to the OpenJPEG library
|
|
which allows one to read and write JPEG 2000 files from Python.
|
|
Glymur supports both reading and writing of JPEG 2000 images, but writing
|
|
JPEG 2000 images is currently limited to images that can fit in memory.
|
|
**Glymur** can read images using OpenJPEG library versions as far back as 1.3,
|
|
but it is strongly recommended to use version 2.1.0, which is the most recently
|
|
released version of OpenJPEG at this time.
|
|
|
|
In regards to metadata, most JP2 boxes are properly interpreted.
|
|
Certain optional JP2 boxes can also be written, including XML boxes and
|
|
XMP UUIDs. There is incomplete support for reading JPX metadata.
|
|
|
|
Glymur works on Python versions 2.7, 3.3 and 3.4. If you have Python 2.6,
|
|
you should use the 0.5 series of Glymur.
|
|
|
|

Glymur Installation
|
|
===================
|
|
You can retrieve the source for Glymur from either of
|
|
|
|
* https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Glymur/ (stable releases)
|
|
* http://github.com/quintusdias/glymur (bleeding edge, use the devel branch)
|
|
|
|
but you should also be able to install Glymur via pip ::
|
|
|
|
$ pip install glymur
|
|
|
|
In addition to the package, this also gives you a command line script
|
|
**jp2dump** that can be used from the command line line to print JPEG 2000
|
|
metadata.
