class="phvr7t-x-x-80">nip2 </span>is a user interface for the VIPS image processing
library. It is designed to be fast, even when working with
very large images, and to be easy to extend.
<!--l. 8--><p class="indent" > This guide is split into quite a few chapters:
<ul class="itemize1">
<li class="itemize">If you want to use <span
class="phvr7t-x-x-80">nip2 </span>to assemble infrared
mosaics, you should read Chapter <a
href="nipguidech3.html#x10-90003">3<!--tex4ht:ref: sec:ir --></a>. The middle
section in the tutorial (see <span
class="cmsy-10"></span><a
href="nipguidese2.html#x8-70002.2">2.2<!--tex4ht:ref: sec:irtut --></a>) does IR mosaics
very quickly.
</li>
<li class="itemize">If you want to use <span
class="phvr7t-x-x-80">nip2 </span>for general image
processing, work through Chapter <a
href="nipguidech2.html#x6-50002">2<!--tex4ht:ref: sec:tutorial --></a>.
</li>
<li class="itemize">If you have specific questions about some part of
<span
class="phvr7t-x-x-80">nip2</span>’s user-interface, look at Chapter <a
href="nipguidech4.html#x16-270004">4<!--tex4ht:ref: sec:reference --></a>.
</li>
<li class="itemize">If you’re really hardcore, take a look at Chapter <a
href="nipguidech6.html#x31-570006">6<!--tex4ht:ref: sec:program --></a>,
which covers programming.
</li>
<li class="itemize">If you want to know more about VIPS, the image
processing package underlying <span
class="phvr7t-x-x-80">nip2</span>, try the <span
class="ptmri7t-">VIPS</span>
<span

</li></ul>
<!--l. 35--><p class="indent" > If <span
