image-viewer-mk2

Image viewer Mk2

Viewer for spectral images, in particular suitable from multispectral optoacoustic tomography.

Installation

pip install image-viewer-mk2==1.0.0

See dependencies for versions of dependency libraries that were tested with this software but are not strictly required during installation. See releases for older versions.

Usage

From command line as a standalone application.

> imvmk2 [-i filename] [-c config_filename] [-d (debug)]

From within python scripts and interactive sessions. The viewer can be either used as an interactive image viewer, giving the user the ability to manually adjust the settings. The rendered image is returned back so that it can be further used inside the script.

import image_viewer_mk2.app as imv

img = np.zeros((height, width, channels))
render = imv.start(image=img)

Alternatively, it can be used to apply existing configuration and directly return a rendered image without opening the interactive GUI:

import image_viewer_mk2.app as imv

img = np.zeros((height, width, channels))
render = imv.render(image=img, config_filename='config.json')

Configuration files can be saved from the interactive GUI or they can be returned as a second return value in the script by passing parameter return_config=True to the call imv.start().

Troubleshooting

TclError: image "pyimageXX" doesn't exist

When using in interactive session, all other matplotlib figures have to be closed.
