Hi Grant,<br><br>I agree with Grant. If the design is going to change and break existing code—which I think is fine at this stage—I would like to see a different name than &quot;Image&quot; to avoid clashing with java.awt.Image.<br>

    Agreed, I think it should be an interface.  But, and this may ignite
    a firestorm, but (since this level of change is still in play) I&#39;d
    like to suggest that the interface &quot;Image&quot; not be used.  It is
    easily (if not necessarily) confused with java.awt.Image, and isn&#39;t
    it the case that imglib.Image is not an image?  It is a data
    representation that may be rendered as an image or set of images or
    a visualization.  It is analogous to the DataBuffer of a
    java.awt.Image.  How about calling it an &quot;ImageSpace&quot; or better yet,
    a &quot;MultidimensionalImageDataBufferLikeThingThatIsNotReallyAnImage&quot;

      Thanks, I am following fiji-devel so I did notice Steffi&#39;s message
      about Image becoming an interface. Though it is the first I&#39;ve
      heard of it, I am in favor because it makes unit testing much
      easier. When I visit later this month there should be time for me
      to hear about the latest imglib developments. I would like to see
      us all get unified back to master (including sampler &amp; maven
      branches), and get the ij-2.0 code using imglib as correctly as
      possible.<br>

          Hi,<br>
          <br>
          I Cc:ed the ImageJ-devel group, as I fear that we are a bit
          segregated on<br>
          the imglib development, and they might not be aware of the
          things going on<br>
          here.<br>
          <br>
          As to the change in the design: I think this is a fantastic
          idea!<br>
          <br>
          Ciao,<br>

              &gt; Hi guys,<br>
              &gt;<br>
              &gt; be aware that this cursor will become redundant soon.
              The plan is that<br>
              &gt; Image&lt;T&gt; becomes an interface. From that point
              onwards, also ROIs are images<br>
              &gt; that can create their own cursors, where the most
              simple cases are bounding<br>
              &gt; boxes and masks which we like to support right from
              the start....<br>
              &gt;<br>
              &gt; Nice greetings,<br>

              &gt; &gt; &gt;&gt; indeed, the ROICursor is what I would
              call FrameCursor or<br>
              &gt; &gt; &gt;&gt; WindowCursor,<br>
              &gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
              &gt; &gt; &gt; That gave me the idea &quot;SubImageCursor&quot;.
              Hmm?<br>
              &gt; &gt;<br>
              &gt; &gt; I like it.  I also think that SubImageAlgorithm
              (or FrameAlgorithm or<br>
              &gt; &gt; WindowAlgorithm) makes more sense than
              ROIAlgorithm (which I named, and<br>
