Add an image layer to the layer list.

Parameters

• data (array or list of array) – Image data. Can be N dimensional. If the last dimension has length 3 or 4 can be interpreted as RGB or RGBA if rgb is True. If a list and arrays are decreasing in shape then the data is treated as a multiscale image.

• channel_axis (int, optional) – Axis to expand image along. If provided, each channel in the data will be added as an individual image layer. In channel_axis mode, all other parameters MAY be provided as lists, and the Nth value will be applied to the Nth channel in the data. If a single value is provided, it will be broadcast to all Layers.

• rgb (bool or list) – Whether the image is rgb RGB or RGBA. If not specified by user and the last dimension of the data has length 3 or 4 it will be set as True. If False the image is interpreted as a luminance image. If a list then must be same length as the axis that is being expanded as channels.

• contrast_limits (list (2,)) – Color limits to be used for determining the colormap bounds for luminance images. If not passed is calculated as the min and max of the image. If list of lists then must be same length as the axis that is being expanded and then each colormap is applied to each image.

mode

Interactive mode. The normal, default mode is PAN_ZOOM, which allows for normal interactivity with the canvas.

In PICK mode the cursor functions like a color picker, setting the clicked on label to be the current label. If the background is picked it will select the background label 0.

In PAINT mode the cursor functions like a paint brush changing any pixels it brushes over to the current label. If the background label 0 is selected than any pixels will be changed to background and this tool functions like an eraser. The size and shape of the cursor can be adjusted in the properties widget.

In FILL mode the cursor functions like a fill bucket replacing pixels of the label clicked on with the current label. It can either replace all pixels of that label or just those that are contiguous with the clicked on pixel. If the background label 0 is selected than any pixels will be changed to background and this tool functions like an eraser.

In ERASE mode the cursor functions similarly to PAINT mode, but to paint with background label, which effectively removes the label.

asdict()

Convert a model to a dictionary.

bind_key(key, func=<object object>, *, overwrite=False)

Bind a key combination to a keymap.

Parameters

• keymap (dict of str: callable) – Keymap to modify.

• key (str or ..) – Key combination. ... acts as a wildcard if no key combinations can be matched in the keymap (this will overwrite all key combinations further down the lookup chain).

• func (callable, None, or ..) – Callable to bind to the key combination. If None is passed, unbind instead. ... acts as a blocker, effectively unbinding the key combination for all keymaps further down the lookup chain.

• overwrite (bool, keyword-only, optional) – Whether to overwrite the key combination if it already exists.

Returns

unbound – Callable unbound by this operation, if any.

Return type

callable or None

Notes

Key combinations are represented in the form [modifier-]key, e.g. a, Control-c, or Control-Alt-Delete. Valid modifiers are Control, Alt, Shift, and Meta.

Letters will always be read as upper-case. Due to the native implementation of the key system, Shift pressed in certain key combinations may yield inconsistent or unexpected results. Therefore, it is not recommended to use Shift with non-letter keys. On OSX, Control is swapped with Meta such that pressing Command reads as Control.

Special keys include Shift, Control, Alt, Meta, Up, Down, Left, Right, PageUp, PageDown, Insert, Delete, Home, End, Escape, Backspace, F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9, F10, F11, F12, Space, Enter, and Tab

Functions take in only one argument: the parent that the function was bound to.

By default, all functions are assumed to work on key presses only, but can be denoted to work on release too by separating the function into two statements with the yield keyword:

@viewer.bind_key('h')
def hello_world(viewer):
    # on key press
    viewer.status = 'hello world!'

    yield

    # on key release
    viewer.status = 'goodbye world :('

To create a keymap that will block others, bind_key(..., ...)`.

Parameters

• path (str or list of str) – A filepath, directory, or URL (or a list of any) to open.

• stack (bool, optional) – If a list of strings is passed and stack is True, then the entire list will be passed to plugins. It is then up to individual plugins to know how to handle a list of paths. If stack is False, then the path list is broken up and passed to plugin readers one by one. by default False.

• plugin (str, optional) – Name of a plugin to use. If provided, will force path to be read with the specified plugin. If the requested plugin cannot read path, an exception will be raised.

• layer_type (str, optional) – If provided, will force data read from path to be passed to the corresponding add_<layer_type> method (along with any additional) kwargs provided to this function. This may result in exceptions if the data returned from the path is not compatible with the layer_type.
