I am new to Gwyddion and this users' list. Hope these questions are appropriate.
We are building hardware and electronics to perform a specialized surface scan. We generate a 2-D array of 16-bit height information and want to use Gwyddion to handle the final processing and presentation. We are loading our raw array into an uncompressed TIFF file with 16-bit grayscale and then opening it in your program. This all works nicely but no metadata shows up in your browser. The usual mechanism for putting custom metadata in TIFFs is through numbered tags and their fields. We can embed such tags into our files. Does Gwyddion recognize and display any of these tags? If not, is there some other way to include metadata into TIFF files so that Gwyddion can recognize it? We are free to choose any file format at this point in the project. TIFF looked attractive for several reasons, but perhaps it is not the optimum one if metadata is not possible. Could you propose an alternative format that might be more appropriate for us? It should handle 16-bit data, be lossless, non-proprietary and recognized by many viewing programs. Mike Simmonds Quantum Design Inc.
