napari 0.2.0

We’re happy to announce the release of napari 0.2.0! 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).

New Features

  • Improved UI, unifying buttons from controls, icons for layers, and more understandable dimensions sliders

  • Add support for 3D rendering for all our layer types

  • Add a Surface layer to render already generated meshes. Support nD meshes rendered in 2D or 3D.

  • Add viewer.add_multichannel method to rapidly add expand a multichannel array along one particular axis with different colormaps (#528).

  • Add basic undo / redo functionality to the labels layer

Deprecations

  • Drop napari.view method. Replaced with napari.view_* methods in for all our layer types.

  • Drop Pyramid layer. Pyramid functionality now integrated into both the labels and image layer.
