Warning
In napari 0.7.0, legacy “npe1” plugins will only work by auto-conversion to the new plugin engine, npe2.
The vast majority of plugins will continue working as before. If you notice any issues with a plugin, check out the
Changes to the plugin engine in 0.6.0 document to see if this is affecting you.
Some plugin developers may find more in-depth, technical information helpful. This section describes topics, such as:
