# Welcome to ImageViewer

#### ImageViewer

Fable imageviewer is a java-based program to display images and do simple treatment on them e.g. rocking curves.
Imageviewer has been developed to fulfill the need to have an image display program in Java to allow users to look at their images without leaving the user interfaces of preprocessor, grainspotter, etc.
Imageviewer is inspired by fabian written in Python.
Imageviewer uses the same Python module fabio as fabian to read image files. This avoids code duplication and means imageviewer reads the same file formats as fabian.
It also means Python and fabio have to be installed or packaged as part of imageviewer for it to work. Imageviewer communicates with Python via jep.
Imageviewer is still in its beginnings but does have most of what fabian offers.
Imageviewer can be downloaded from the sourceforge download area.
