n-dimensional array viewer in Python
Project description
napari
multi-dimensional image viewer for python
napari is a fast, interactive, multi-dimensional image viewer for Python. It's designed for browsing, annotating, and analyzing large multi-dimensional images. It's built on top of Qt (for the GUI), vispy (for performant GPU-based rendering), and the scientific Python stack (numpy, scipy).
We're developing napari in the open! But the project is in an alpha stage, and there will still likely be breaking changes with each release. You can follow progress on this repository, test out new versions as we release them, and contribute ideas and code.
We're working on tutorials, but you can also quickly get started by looking below.
installation
It is recommended to install napari into a virtual environment, like this:
conda create -y -n napari-env -c conda-forge python=3.9 pip
conda activate napari-env
python -m pip install "napari[all]"
If you prefer conda over pip, you can replace the last line with: conda install -c conda-forge napari
See here for the full installation guide, including how to install napari as a bundled app.
simple example
(The examples below require the scikit-image package to run. We just use data samples from this package for demonstration purposes. If you change the examples to use your own dataset, you may not need to install this package.)
From inside an IPython shell, you can open up an interactive viewer by calling
from skimage import data
import napari
viewer = napari.view_image(data.astronaut(), rgb=True)
To use napari from inside a script, use napari.run():
from skimage import data
import napari
viewer = napari.view_image(data.astronaut(), rgb=True)
napari.run() # start the "event loop" and show the viewer
features
Check out the scripts in our examples folder to see some of the functionality we're developing!
napari supports six main different layer types, Image, Labels, Points, Vectors, Shapes, and Surface, each corresponding to a different data type, visualization, and interactivity. You can add multiple layers of different types into the viewer and then start working with them, adjusting their properties.
All our layer types support n-dimensional data and the viewer provides the ability to quickly browse and visualize either 2D or 3D slices of the data.
napari also supports bidirectional communication between the viewer and the Python kernel, which is especially useful when launching from jupyter notebooks or when using our built-in console. Using the console allows you to interactively load and save data from the viewer and control all the features of the viewer programmatically.
You can extend napari using custom shortcuts, key bindings, and mouse functions.
