  • add/remove layers
  • update metadata (datasource-properties.json)
  • up/downsample layers
  • compress layers
  • add/remove magnifications
  • execute any of the wkCuber operations from your code
• manipulation of WEBKNOSSOS skeleton annotations (*.nml) as Python objects
  • access to nodes, comments, trees, bounding boxes, metadata, etc.
  • create new skeleton annotation from Graph structures or Python objects
• interaction, connection & scripting with your WEBKNOSSOS instance over the REST API
  • up- & downloading annotations and datasets
