TIFF image format support
I would like to be able to open TIFF images with WebPlotDigitizer.
I am using the desktop version. When I try to open a TIFF, it hangs with a "Processing..." message at the top of the screen.
As a workaround, I can convert the TIFFs from our microscope to PNG, but this is an extra step.
Turns out I can open TIFF images if I use WebPlotDigitizer in Microsoft Edge.
I discovered this by reading a wikipedia article referenced in section 2.1 of the manual.
Having TIFF support in the desktop version would still be nice though :)
Interesting, I didn't know MS Edge supported TIFF :)
Right now I rely on whatever browser support is available. The desktop version is based on the Electron project which is just a wrapper around browser technologies. I can look into adding a TIFF decoder at some point.
If tiff is implemented, it would also benefit from multipage selection (like #168) since the TIFF container format supports many images within a single file.
I was just looking around, and I found this library that supports TIFFs using only javascript: https://geotiffjs.github.io/
