MoNkIE (a Marimo NotebooK Image Explorer)

MoNkIE is a multi-dimensional image explorer built for Marimo notebooks! MoNkIE is based off of [JuNkIE]((https://bitbucket.org/rfg_lab/junkie/src/master/), the Jupyter Notebook Image Explorer.

Installing MoNkIE

To install MoNkIE, type:

$ python3 -m pip install --no-chache-dir -U monkie

Using MoNkIE

MoNkIE requires that you call two simple functions in separate cells to load the image and show the UI, respectively:

# Put this in your setup cell
from monkie import monkie

# First cell
monkie.load(image)

# Second cell
monkie.show()

There are a few ways to open an image with MoNkIE:

• You can open an image with some other package (e.g. scikit-image, opencv, PIL, etc.) and pass a numpy ndarray to MoNkIE as the parameter

• You can specify the path to the image that you want to open

• Or you can indicate a folder that contains an image sequence.

  • If there are image channels split into different files, you can also specify a tuple of strings to distinguish which files in the folder belong to which channel.

setup_ui (bool) specifies whether you want to create the UI elements (True) or just load the image (False). (Defaults to True)
