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

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.
