I'm a terrible student. Molly Hardman, who I used to have
a lot of fun teaching IDL courses with, once threw me
out of one of her ENVI courses, saying I was hopeless.
And I thought I was just being funny. :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. Let's just say I never did get my arms completely
around ENVI. :-(

Umm.... So what *are* the constraints? Are the slices evenly spaced?
Orthogonal directions? Arbitrary directions?

Jeez, and *you* complain when people don't give enough information!
:-)

There's a chinese proverb about the joy to be had in seeing an old
and dear friend fall from a high roof. Your word of Swedish to learn
today: "Skadegl�dje".

I have a book called The Image Processing Handbook by John C Russ
(CRC press, ISBN 0-8493-2516-1) which talks about some of the
techniques for doing this, but has no code and is almost wilfully
non-mathematical. Good references though, as far as I can tell. It
covers a lot of other material too, so it might be worth checking out
in a library before purchase.

I also know a couple of small companies which sell
inverse-tomography code, but I don't think that's what you want.

(I know, working on Good Friday. They'll be stoking up a
specially-hot area of Hades just for me).

I thought that there was a recent thread on the same topic.

Would that it *were* this easy. Then all those Ph.D.
candidates working on innovative techniques could purchase
IDL and be hanging out at the corner bar instead of the
lab.

Unfortunately, the problem seems to be a *tad* more
involved than this. But thanks to the 100 or so of you
who think so little of my demonstrated IDL skills that
you all sent me the same suggestion. :-)

Cheers,

David

Would this just-recently-declassified snippet help?

vol = dblarr(100,100,20) ; 100x100 images, 20 of them
for i = 0, 19 do $
vol(*,*,i) = read_my_image(image_file(i))

Extra bonus points can be gotten for recognizing the speed-up achieved
by saying "vol(0,0,i) = " instead.

Somehow I think you are asking for more though?

Craig
