MATLAB snippet for creating an OME-XML to be used for BinaryOnly OME-TIFF (e.g. with a companion metadata file)

createBinaryOnlyOMEXMLMetadata.m

% Create OME-XML metadata object
OMEXMLService = loci.formats.services.OMEXMLServiceImpl();
metadata = OMEXMLService.createOMEXMLMetadata();

% Create the root object
metadata.createRoot();

% Set the UUID for the OME-TIFF
ometiff_uuid = char(java.util.UUID.randomUUID);
metadata.setUUID(ometiff_uuid);

% Set the UUID and filename of the companion metadata file
companion_uuid = char(java.util.UUID.randomUUID);
metadata.setBinaryOnlyMetadataFile('name.companion.file');
metadata.setBinaryOnlyUUID(companion_uuid);
