squidpy.im.ImageContainer

class squidpy.im.ImageContainer(img=None, layer='image', lazy=True, scale=1.0, **kwargs)

Container for in memory arrays or on-disk images.

Wraps xarray.Dataset to store several image layers with the same x, y and z dimensions in one object. Dimensions of stored images are (y, x, z, channels). The channel dimension may vary between image layers.

This class also allows for lazy loading and processing using dask, and is given to all image processing functions, along with anndata.AnnData instance, if necessary.

Parameters:

• img (Union[str, Path, ndarray[Any, dtype[Any]], DataArray, ImageContainer, None]) – In-memory 2, 3 or 4-dimensional array, a URL to a Zarr store (ending in .zarr), or a path to an on-disk image.

• layer (str) – Image layer in img that should be processed. If None and only 1 layer is present, it will be selected.

• dims –

  Where to save channel dimension when reading from a file or loading an array. Valid options are:

  • ’channels_last’ - load the last non-spatial dimension as channels.

  • ’z_last’ - load the last non-spatial dimension as Z-dimension.

  • ’default’ - same as ‘channels_last’, but for 4-dimensional arrays, tries to also load the first dimension as channels if the last non-spatial dimension is 1.

  • a sequence of dimension names matching the shape of img, e.g. ('y', 'x', 'z', 'channels'). ‘y’, ‘x’ and ‘z’ must always be present.

• library_id – Name for each Z-dimension of the image. This should correspond to the library_id in anndata.AnnData.uns.

• lazy (bool) – Whether to use dask to lazily load image.

• chunks – Chunk size for dask. Only used when lazy = True.

• copy – Whether to copy the underlying data if img is an in-memory array.

• scale (float) – Scaling factor of the image with respect to the spatial coordinates saved in the accompanying anndata.AnnData.

Raises:

• ValueError – If loading from a file/store with an unknown format or if a supplied channel dimension cannot be aligned.

• NotImplementedError – If loading a specific data type has not been implemented.
