[SIP-announce] New sip-dev release with contributions!!

[Ricardo F. <rf...@if...>]

Dear co-developers,

I've included your contributions into a new SIP-dev release!!
Thank you very much for submitting contributions. PLEASE CONTINUE :-)

I also made some improvements to your code.

profil - it's now called "improfile" because this name is less likely to crash
with user symbols, and it is more matlab-like. I also added pretty colors to the
lines that are shown over the image, check it out!

minmax - the code remains basically the same. I just separated the function
"curvature2d" into a new SIP function. MakeMask was put it into mkfilter (see
the help).

imshow - I included Bruno Pincon's code and suggestions!

ChangeLog:

20030307
   + minmax - new min/max noise removal from images (curvature/levelset)
   + curvature2d - estimates the curvature of a surface / image
   + improfile - plot data profiles along line segments through an image
   + imshow is now faster for truecolor images.
   + No more need to normalize truecolor images to 0-65535 range
     for imshow. This means you can now call imshow(im),
     and _not_ imshow(im*65535), if 0 <= im(i,j,k) <= 255
   + mkfilter has new "circular" mask
   + manual for edilate function


I will try to release the binary packages soon.
Thanks again for contributing,
your names are listed throughout SIP's files

have fun,
Ricardo.
