Installation
Typically the base package imagedata is installed. This package provides the core functionality, in addition to several plugins for formats, archives and transports:
pip install imagedata
The formats include DICOM, ITK, mat files and Nifti-1.
The archives include filesystem and zip archive.
The transports include file, dicom and xnat.
Separate plugins provide support for formats including PostScript (PDF) (read-only) and BIFF. To install:
pip install imagedata-format-ps
pip install imagedata-format-biff
The imagedata-format-ps plugin depends on the presense of a local ghostscript installation.
On Ubuntu, install ghostscript using:
apt install ghostscript
