Development Head: pip install git+https://github.com/bioio-devs/bioio-bioformats.git

Special Installation Instructions

This package utilizes bioformats which depends on java

To install java and maven with conda, run:

conda install -c conda-forge scyjava

You may need to deactivate/reactivate your environment after installing. If you are still getting a JVMNotFoundException, try setting JAVA_HOME as follows:

Mac / Linux

export JAVA_HOME=$CONDA_PREFIX

Windows

set JAVA_HOME=%CONDA_PREFIX%\\Library

Example Usage (see full documentation for more examples)

Install bioio-bioformats alongside bioio:

pip install bioio bioio-bioformats

This example shows a simple use case for just accessing the pixel data of the image by explicitly passing this Reader into the BioImage. Passing the Reader into the BioImage instance is optional as bioio will automatically detect installed plug-ins and auto-select the most recently installed plug-in that supports the file passed in.

from bioio import BioImage
import bioio_bioformats

img = BioImage("my_file.tiff", reader=bioio_bioformats.Reader)
img.data
