Module: Stack Builder ()

Description:

This is an experimental module from the Xtra Library: https://xtras.amira-avizo.com.

This module takes as input one directory and concatenates all supported 2D/3D images from it into one unique 3D volume.

Only same data type and same size images can be concatenated together.
The data type and the size of the 3D volume being built is determined by the first image successfully loaded.
All other images must then share both the same data type and size as the 3D volume to be concatenated to it, they will be simply ignored otherwise.

In case the loading of one supported image fails the module will then simply skip it and move to the next image.
Besides the reason why this loading failed, or the concatenation dismissed, will then be displayed in the Python console of the module.

Currently the supported image formats are: .am, .bmp, .jpeg, .jpg, .mrc, .png, .tif.
But this list can easily be updated through the .pyscro file fo this module.

See also the Append module documentation.
