## What

libCZI is an Open Source Cross-Platform C++ library to read and write [CZI](https://www.zeiss.com/microscopy/en/products/software/zeiss-zen/czi-image-file-format.html).

## Why

libCZI is a library intended for providing read and write access to [CZI](https://www.zeiss.com/microscopy/en/products/software/zeiss-zen/czi-image-file-format.html) featuring:

* reading subblocks and get the content as a bitmap

* reading subblocks which are compressed with JPEG-XR or zstd

* works with tiled images and pyramid images

* composing multi-channel images with tinting and applying a gradation curve

* access metadata

* writing subblocks and metadata

In a nutshell, it offers (almost...) the same functionality as the 2D-Viewer in [ZEN](https://www.zeiss.com/microscopy/en/products/software/zeiss-zen.html) - in terms of composing the image (including display-settings) and managing the data found in a CZI-file.
