For Developers

Sqeazy is an app and a library at the same time. This Wiki for developers is intended for those that would like to interface their application to libsqeazy either natively (C/C++) or through Java. After successfull compilation, sqeazy exposes a binary sqy that allows tar like compression or decompression of 3D images (currently only .tiff files are supported). Also, a dynamically linked library and the according header file is provided.

Disclaimer: Until further notice, the sqeazy API is under development!

For C Developers

In order to use sqeazy, use sqeazy.h and (depending on your OS) libsqeazy.{so,dll,dyld}. As the API will vary until we reach 1.0, please consult the aforementioned header file for more details.

For C++ Developers

So far, there is no public API for sqeazy available. But as sqeazy internally is written using C++11, a header-only exposure for C++ is planned.

For Java Developers

There is a BridJ wrapper around libsqeazy.{so,dll,dyld} available. It’s use is documented in ./src/java/src/sqeazy/bindings/test/SqeazyLibraryTests.java and is based solely on the C interface.

For Python Developers

If you’d like to see python bindings for sqeazy, please submit an issue to show support for this idea. We are planning to add a python interface for (at least) python3 using pybind11 in the future.
