Example Usage (see full documentation for more examples)

Install bioio alongside OME TIFF and OME ZARR plug-ins with pip (this example won't use the OME ZARR plug-in):

pip install bioio bioio-ome-tiff bioio-ome-zarr

from bioio import BioImage

# Get a BioImage object
img = BioImage("my_file.tiff")  # selects the first scene found
img.data  # returns 5D TCZYX numpy array
img.xarray_data  # returns 5D TCZYX xarray data array backed by numpy
img.dims  # returns a Dimensions object
img.dims.order  # returns string "TCZYX"
img.dims.X  # returns size of X dimension
img.shape  # returns tuple of dimension sizes in TCZYX order
img.get_image_data("CZYX", T=0)  # returns 4D CZYX numpy array

# Get the id of the current operating scene
img.current_scene

# Get a list valid scene ids
img.scenes

# Change scene using name
img.set_scene("Image:1")
# Or by scene index
img.set_scene(1)

# Use the same operations on a different scene
# ...

Each reader plugin should closely follow the specification laid out in bioio-base. As such, it is likely common that reader plugins won't distribute their own documentation and users should instead review bioio_base.reader.Reader for API documentation for the underlying Reader API. We encourage plugin authors to publish their own documentation if they change or include new features into their published image readers.
