Napari ndarray viewer.

Functions

napari.current_viewer()[source]¶

Return the currently active napari viewer.

Return type: Viewer

napari.gui_qt(*, startup_logo=False, gui_exceptions=False, force=False)[source]¶

Start a Qt event loop in which to run the application.

NOTE: This context manager is deprecated!. Prefer using napari.run().

Parameters

startup_logo (bool, optional) – Show a splash screen with the napari logo during startup.
gui_exceptions (bool, optional) – Whether to show uncaught exceptions in the GUI, by default they will be shown in the console that launched the event loop.
force (bool, optional) – Force the application event_loop to start, even if there are no top level widgets to show.

Notes

This context manager is not needed if running napari within an interactive IPython session. In this case, use the %gui qt magic command, or start IPython with the Qt GUI event loop enabled by default by using ipython --gui=qt.

napari.run(*, force=False, gui_exceptions=False, max_loop_level=1, _func_name='run')[source]¶

Start the Qt Event Loop

Parameters

force (bool, optional) – Force the application event_loop to start, even if there are no top level widgets to show.
gui_exceptions (bool, optional) – Whether to show uncaught exceptions in the GUI. By default they will be shown in the console that launched the event loop.
max_loop_level (int, optional) – The maximum allowable “loop level” for the execution thread. Every time QApplication.exec_() is called, Qt enters the event loop, increments app.thread().loopLevel(), and waits until exit() is called. This function will prevent calling exec_() if the application already has at least max_loop_level event loops running. By default, 1.
_func_name (str, optional) – name of calling function, by default ‘run’. This is only here to provide functions like gui_qt a way to inject their name into the warning message.

Raises

RuntimeError – (To avoid confusion) if no widgets would be shown upon starting the event loop.

napari.save_layers(path, layers, *, plugin=None)[source]¶

Write list of layers or individual layer to a path using writer plugins.

If plugin is not provided and only one layer is passed, then we directly call plugin_manager.hook.napari_write_<layer>() which will loop through implementations and stop when the first one returns a non-None result. The order in which implementations are called can be changed with the hook bring_to_front method, for instance: plugin_manager.hook.napari_write_points.bring_to_front

If plugin is not provided and multiple layers are passed, then we call plugin_manager.hook.napari_get_writer() which loops through plugins to find the first one that knows how to handle the combination of layers and is able to write the file. If no plugins offer napari_get_writer for that combination of layers then the builtin napari_get_writer implementation will create a folder and call napari_write_<layer> for each layer using the layer.name variable to modify the path such that the layers are written to unique files in the folder.

If plugin is provided and a single layer is passed, then we call the napari_write_<layer_type> for that plugin, and if it fails we error.

If a plugin is provided and multiple layers are passed, then we call we call napari_get_writer for that plugin, and if it doesn’t return a WriterFunction we error, otherwise we call it and if that fails if it we error.

Parameters

path (str) – A filepath, directory, or URL to open.
layers (List[layers.Layer]) – List of layers to be saved. If only a single layer is passed then we use the hook specification corresponding to its layer type, napari_write_<layer_type>. If multiple layers are passed then we use the napari_get_writer hook specification.
plugin (str, optional) – Name of the plugin to use for saving. If None then all plugins corresponding to appropriate hook specification will be looped through to find the first one that can save the data.

Returns

File paths of any files that were written.

Return type

list of str
