readTIF() and writeTIF() read and write tiff stacks.
3D and color stacks are automatically recognized by readTIF(), if the meta information is correct. Available meta information is saved as attributes. readTIF() can also handle URLs. The function returns an array with range 0 to 1.
cell <- readTIF("http://ex.volkerschmid.de/cell.tif")

writeTIF() writes out tiff stacks. Meta information in attributes are saved. The bits per sample can be controlled by an option.
writeTIF(cell, file="my_cell.tif")

readClassTIF() is a special version of readTIF() for images with a very low number of intensity values, e.g. masks or segmented images.
writeTIF(2*EBImage::thresh(cell[,,1,])+EBImage::thresh(cell[,,2,]), file="simple.tif")
## [1] 52
mysimple <- readClassTIF("simple.tif", n=3)
par(pty="s")
img(mysimple[,,25],col="red",up=3)

## [1] TRUE
img() is a plotting function for images stored in an array.
par(pty="s")
img(cell, z=25, col="rgb")
img(cell, z=25, col="r")
img(cell, z=25, col="grey")
Simple Bitmap files can be imported by readBMP().
bi<-readBMP(system.file(package = "bioimagetools","extdata", "V.bmp"))
par(pty="s")
image(bi, col=grey(seq(0,1,length=2^8)))
