napari.view_layers#

Methods to create a new viewer instance then add a particular layer type.

All functions follow this pattern, (where <layer_type> is replaced with one of the layer types, like “image”, “points”, etc…):

def view_<layer_type>(*args, **kwargs):
    # ... pop all of the viewer kwargs out of kwargs into viewer_kwargs
    viewer = Viewer(**viewer_kwargs)
    add_method = getattr(viewer, f"add_{<layer_type>}")
    add_method(*args, **kwargs)
    return viewer

Create a viewer and add an image layer.

Parameters:

data (array or list of array) – Image data. Can be N >= 2 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. Please note multiscale rendering is only supported in 2D. In 3D, only the lowest resolution scale is displayed.
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, other parameters MAY be provided as lists. The Nth value of the list will be applied to the Nth channel in the data. If a single value is provided, it will be broadcast to all Layers. All parameters except data, rgb, and multiscale can be provided as list of values. If a list is provided, it must be the same length as the axis that is being expanded as channels.
affine (n-D array or napari.utils.transforms.Affine) – (N+1, N+1) affine transformation matrix in homogeneous coordinates. The first (N, N) entries correspond to a linear transform and the final column is a length N translation vector and a 1 or a napari Affine transform object. Applied as an extra transform on top of the provided scale, rotate, and shear values.
axis_labels (list of str, optional) – Dimension names of the layer data. If not provided, axis_labels will be set to (…, ‘axis -2’, ‘axis -1’).

If a dict, the key must be a string to assign as a name to a colormap and the value must be a Colormap.
