Z-IMAGE Z-IMAGE is an interactive image analysis package designed for researchers working in a Unix environment who have some understanding of the mathematics of image analysis and processing. It has a large repertoire of fundamental processing functions, which should be seen as providing the building blocks for testing and implementing new and more sophisticated image processing algorithms. Z-IMAGE has an interactive interpreter with an ``equation-like'' language reminiscent of the statistical package S. However, because it is specifically designed to handle image data, it processes such data more efficiently and quickly than S does. Special features: easy display of multiple images and histograms using the X windowing system, using a variety of colour maps and allowing interactive contrast stretching; image construction functions; arithmetic and logical operations; statistical functions; two-dimensional fast Fourier transform; neighbourhood filters, with the ability to choose the filter size and to easily create new filters; many sophisticated morphological operators, with the capacity to accept an arbitrary structuring element; colour and multi-component image operations; command and menu-style structure; nesting of commands; ability to add new functions.
