magicgui parameter sweep

Example showing how to accomplish a napari parameter sweep with magicgui.

It demonstrates: 1. overriding the default widget type with a custom class 2. the auto_call option, which calls the function whenever a parameter changes

# Define our gaussian_blur function.
# Note that we can use forward references for the napari type annotations.
# You can read more about them here:
# https://peps.python.org/pep-0484/#forward-references
# In this example, because we have already imported napari anyway, it doesn't
# really matter. But this syntax would let you specify that a parameter is a
# napari object type without actually importing or depending on napari.
# We also use the `Annotated` type to pass an additional dictionary that can be used
# to aid widget generation. The keys of the dictionary are keyword arguments to
# the corresponding magicgui widget type. For more informaiton see
# https://napari.org/magicgui/api/widgets.html.
