napari-result-stack

Widgets and type annotations for storing function results of any types.

Stored type

Type Stored[T] is equivalent to T for the type checker, but magicgui is aware of this annotation and behaves as a "storage" for the T instances.

from pathlib import Path
import pandas as pd
from magicgui import magicgui
from napari_result_stack import Stored

# Returned values will be stored in a result stack.
@magicgui
def provide_data(path: Path) -> Stored[pd.DataFrame]:
    return pd.read_csv(path)

# You can choose one of the values stored in the result stack
# for the argument `df` from a ComboBox widget.
@magicgui
def print_data(df: Stored[pd.DataFrame]):
    print(df)

• Different types use different storage. e.g. Stored[int] and Stored[str] do not share the same place.
• Even for the same type, you can specify the second key to split the storage. e.g. Stored[int], Stored[int, 0] and Stored[int, "my-plugin-name"] use the distinct storages.

Manually store variables

Stored.valuesof[T] is a list-like object that returns a view of the values stored in Stored[T]. This value view is useful if you want to store values outside @magicgui.

from magicgui.widgets import PushButton
from datetime import datetime
from napari_result_stack import Stored

button = PushButton(text="Click!")

@button.changed.connect
def _record_now():
    Stored.valuesof[datetime].append(datetime.now())

Result stack widget

napari-result-stack provides a plugin widget that is helpful to inspect all the stored values.

Show code

from napari_result_stack import Stored
from magicgui import magicgui
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

@magicgui
def f0() -> Stored[pd.DataFrame]:
    return pd.DataFrame(np.random.random((4, 3)))

@magicgui
def f1(x: Stored[pd.DataFrame]) -> Stored[float]:
    return np.mean(np.array(x))

viewer.window.add_dock_widget(f0, name="returns a DataFrame")
viewer.window.add_dock_widget(f1, name="mean of a DataFrame")
