The Woolz Internet Imaging Protocol (IIP) Server (WlzIIPSrv) extends
the {IIP} and was forked from the IIP Server of Ruven Pillay (IIPSrv).
The extensions allow section views of 3D Woolz objects with multiple
components.
Some features of the extensions are:
* Greyscale, colour and multichannel 3D image support.
* Section views of 3D images that may be defined by cutting plane angles,
a fixed point, a fixed line, a distance and a viewing mode.
* 3D image queries.
* Efficient sparse 3D image and domain representation.
* Very large 3D images (eg > 100GB per image) may be served from a standard
Linux server (eg 1 CPU, 16GB RAM, SATA disks).
* An arbitrary number of image overlay domains.
* Selection and composition of overlay domains.
* Image processing operations.
* Image thresholding and image value remapping.
* Transparent PNG tiles.
Documentation is available in the doc directory:
* manual/wlziipsrv.pdf Manual documenting the extensions and the server
installation.
* README.iip The original IIPSrv README file.
* code Doxygen documentation.
Examples of WlzIIPSrv in use:

A quick overview of building the server (see manual for details):
* Download, build and install External and Woolz from
https://github.com/ma-tech, see their README files for how to do this.
* Copy, edit and then execute the script build.sh
* Copy the fcgi server to your fcgi bin directory.
