Build Instructions
------------------

The Microscopy PSF Toolkit is an external module for ITK. To use it, follow
these steps.

1. Clone ITK

 git clone git::/itk.org/ITK.git

2. Clone the Microscopy PSF Toolkit

 cd ITK/Modules/External
 git clone git://github.com/cquammen/MicroscopyPSFToolkit.git

3. Configure ITK

 cd ../../..
 mkdir ITK-build
 cd ITK-build
 ccmake ../ITK

The classes itkHaeberleCOSMOSPointSpreadFunctionImageSource and
itkGibsonLanniCOSMOSPointSpreadFunctionImageSource will now be
available in your build of ITK.
