Description
The current writer API operates on full images. This causes problems when trying to save images that are larger than the amount of memory allocated to the JVM; in addition, images with more than 2 GB of pixel data cannot be saved, regardless of how much memory is allocated.
Ideally, the writer API would be updated to be tile-based (much like the reader API). Then large images could be split up into more manageable tiles, and each tile could be saved separately.
