Hi Richard,<br>
<br>
VTK already uses libtiff. Matheus has been looking into adding<br>
the libtiff calls to the writer that will allow it to write 3D files.<br>
<br>
Even with libtiff, writing 3D tiff files is not straightforward. TIFF<br>
has many mutually-incompatible ways of storing 3D data:<br>
1) multi-page TIFF<br>
2) tiled TIFF<br>
3) Zeiss' 3D TIFF (non-standard, proprietary)<br>
4) SGI's 3D TIFF (non-standard, proprietary)<br>
<br>

<br>
Unfortunately, TIFF provides provides two standard ways, and<br>
several non-<br>
