The Iris Codec Community module is a part of the Iris Digital Pathology project. This module allows for the reading and writing of Iris whole slide image (WSI) digital slide files (.iris) and allows for the decoding of Iris Codec-type compressed tile image data. This repository was designed to allow for extremely fast slide access using what we consider a very simple API as we want to simplify access to these files for you. Please see https://github.com/IrisDigitalPathology/Iris-Codec for more information.
