Using layers

Layers are the viewable objects that can be added to a viewer. To learn about how to use the layers currently supported by napari, check the following how-to guides:

• Using the image layer
• Using the labels layer
• Using the points layer
• Using the shapes layer
• Using the surface layer
• Using the tracks layer
• Using the vectors layer

These guides assume you have already installed napari, know how to launch the viewer, and are familiar with its layout. For help with installation see our installation tutorial. For help getting started with the viewer see our Getting started guide. For help understanding the organisation of the viewer, including things like the layers list, the layer properties widgets, the layer control panels, and the dimension sliders see our napari viewer tutorial. For a high-level overview of the napari Layers, see Layers at a glance.
