Wrapper around tifffile library to have the same API as OpenSlide.

Installation

$ pip install openwholeslide

Usage

• Similarly to OpenSlide, the openwholeslide package allows to load a WSI as follows:

import openwholeslide as ows

wsi = ows.WholeSlide(path="/path/to/wsi")

• Regions can be extracted from this WholeSlide object. For example, a lower resolution of the full scale WSI can be extracted as follows:

region = wsi.read_full(magnification=1.0)

• This actually performs a lazy loading which does not load the data information. In order to get access to the region's pixels (as an numpy.ndarray), the following property should be called:

img = region.as_ndarray
