Vaa3D uses not only some of the existing image file formats (e.g. TIFF) to store 3D image stacks, but also uses its own Vaa3D's Raw format, which has a simple format and read/save much faster than the 3D TIFF format.

This ImageJ (and also Fiji) plugin is a Java program to load and save Vaa3D's raw format. This plugin was developed primarily by Yinan Wan in 2011.

The toolbox is available as a sub-folder after you check out Vaa3D's source code. You can also directly check it out from SVN

svn co https://svn.janelia.org/penglab/projects/vaa3d/trunk/imagej_io/v3draw_io_imagej  v3draw_io_imagej 

1. Copy the folder of this toolbox to your ImageJ->plugins directory.
2. (Re)start ImageJ and simply run the raw_reader and raw_writer plugins in Plugins->Raw Processor menu.

If the plugins are not in the plugin menu, or if you changed the source code and want to re-build the plugins:

1. Click Plugins->Compile and Run...
2. Choose the .java file to re-build and run the plugin.
