Handling of a multi-dimensional image by IJM.show()

[kouichi-c-nakamura]

Following discussion in here, I'd like to raise an issue aboutIJM.show().

IJM.show('I') or net.imagej.matlab.ImageJMATLABCommands.show('I') is a great way to transfer array data from MATLAB workspace to ImageJ, thanks to ImageJ-MATLAB.

However, I’ve noticed that this method does not really support multi-dimensional or multi-channel images well. Whatever the dimensions are, all the channels are always treated as a stack of single-channel images.

It would be much nicer if one specifies a rule about which dimension of input MATLAB array represent what (X, Y, Z, channel, time etc) and IJM.show() handle it internally to prepare an appropriate object in ImageJ.

This issue is also related, but more specifically about X and Y axes.

IJM.show() in ImageJ-MATLAB does not support multi-dimentional or multi-channel images

I wrote a wrapper function of IJM.show called ijmshow, and it can handle 5D array data.
