The following table may be useful for people migrating from other
frameworks, and for identifying missing functionality in
JuliaImages. Note that there are relevant packages which have not been
integrated into more general frameworks or hosted at JuliaImages
(e.g., DICOM.jl, etc.); such functionality is not documented here.
This table is certainly not complete, and additions/corrections are
welcome.
