Description (last modified by rleigh)
Unlike java, graphics aren't supported natively by C++. This will make duplicating the showinf functionality a bit harder--we'll need to introduce a dependency on a large amount of stuff like GUI toolkits, OpenGL etc., which would be desirable to keep out of the base build (or at least have as optional components).
I would suggest keeping "showinf" restricted to being an information viewer, without the ability to also show images like the Java version. A separate dedicated viewer can be implemented separately to showinf.
I wrote an example OpenGL viewer (bfview) in bioformats-examples. We could use the concepts in this to build a simple 2D plane viewer like the viewer part of showinf, initially restricted to 2D planes using Qt/OpenGL.
Having a working reader API and at least one functional reader is a prerequisite for this.

https://github.com/openmicroscopy/bioformats/pull/1626 implements a viewer now that the OME-TIFF reader is merged.
