Viewer Image API

setImage(image)

Set the image to be visualized. Can be an itk.js Image or a scijs ndarray for JavaScript; for Python, it can be a numpy array.

setPointSets(pointSets)

Set a set of points to be visualized. It can be an array of or a single imjoy-rpc encoded ndarray. The ndarray should be an array with the shape [x, 2] or [x, 3].

captureImage()

Take a screenshot for the current view and return a base64 encoded image string.

setImageInterpolationEnabled(enabled)

getImageInterpolationEnabled()

Set/get whether bilinear interpolation is used in the image slicing planes.

setImageComponentVisibility(visibility, component, name)

getImageComponentVisibility(component, name)

Set/get the given image intensity component index’s visibility.

setImageColorRange(range, component, name)

getImageColorRange(component, name)

Set/get the [min, max] range of intensity values mapped to colors for the given
image component identified by name.

setImageColorRangeBounds(bounds, component, name)

getImageColorRangeBounds(component, name)

Set/get the [min, max] range of intensity values for color maps that provide a bounds
for user inputs.

setImageColorMap(colorMap, component, name)

getImageColorMap(component, name)

Set/get the color map for the given component/channel.

setImagePiecewiseFunctionPoints(points, component, name = current)

getImagePiecewiseFunctionPoints(component, name)

Set/get the points defining the piecewise volume opacity transfer and multi-component
slice blending function. Parameter points is of type [intensity: number, opacity:number][] with
intensity and opacity values going from 0 to 1. The 0 to 1 intensity values are scaled between
the component’s range of intensity values.
Example: If the intensity values for component 0 go from 100 to 200,
viewer.setImagePiecewiseFunctionPoints([[0, 0], [.5, 1]], 0) puts a point at intensity 100 and another at intensity 150.
For volume rendering, intensities above or below the range of points have 0 opacity.
For 2D or slice rendering, intensities above or below the range of points take the last color of the color map.
With 2 or more components in 2D or slice rendering, the y value of points controls the contribution of matching intensities.
Intensities before the start point take the y/mix-factor of the start point, intensities after the end point take the end point y value.

setImageShadowEnabled(enabled, name)

getImageShadowEnabled(name)

Set/get whether to used gradient-based shadows in the volume rendering.

setImageGradientOpacity(opacity, name)

getImageGradientOpacity(name)

Set/get the gradient opacity in the volume rendering. Values range from 0.0 to 1.0.

setImageGradientOpacityScale(scale, name)

getImageGradientOpacityScale(name)

Set/get the gradient scale for gradient-based opacity in the volume rendering. Values range from 0.0 to 1.0.

setImageVolumeSampleDistance(distance, name)

getImageVolumeSampleDistance(name)

Set/get the depth sampling distance in the volume rendering. Values range from 0.0 to 1.0.

setImageBlendMode(mode, name)

getImageBlendMode(name)

Set/get the volume rendering blend mode. Supported modes: ‘Composite’,
‘Maximum’, ‘Minimum’, ‘Average’.

setLabelImage(labelImageToLoad, layerImageName)

setLabelImage disables 2D image interpolation.

setLabelImageLookupTable(lookupTable, name)

string values.

setLabelImageWeights(weights, name)

getLabelImageWeights(name)

Set/get the rendering weights assigned to labels. A Map of label integer to
float, 0.0 to 1.0, weight.
string values.

setImageScale(resolutionScale)

resolutionScale is a integer with 0 being the most detailed scale.

setCompareImages(fixedImageName, movingImageName, options)

Post processing to detect difference in images. The moving and fixed images are separately
compressed to one component with a vector magnitude or luminance filter. Then, the moving image is
re-sampled to the fixed image space. The final rendered image has the fixed image on the first component,
the moving image is on the second component.

The moving image must have been added last.

options is an Object with:

{
    method: 'checkerboard' | 'cyan-magenta' | 'blend' | 'disabled',
    imageMix?: number,
    checkerboard?: boolean,
    pattern?: number[],
    swapImageOrder?: boolean
}

method can be blend, green-magenta, cyan-red, cyan-magenta, checkerboard, or disabled.
blend simply initiates the comparison composition of images.
cyan-magenta changes the color map for fixed image to cyan, moving image to magenta. If images match perfectly, the color will be purple.
green-magenta and cyan-red changes the color map for the fixed and moving image. If images match, the color will be gray/white.
checkerboard is equivalent to blend with imageMix set to 0.

imageMix changes the percent contribution the fixed vs moving image makes to the
render by modifying the opacity transfer function. Value of 1 means max opacity for
moving image, 0 for fixed image.

checkerboard picks pixels from the fixed and moving image to create a
checkerboard pattern. The 2 components in the output image differ by the
image order for each checkerboard box.

pattern is an array with the number of checkerboard boxes for each dimension.
If pattern === undefined, it defaults to 4 boxes across each dimension

swapImageOrder toggles the checkerboard pattern by switching the imageMix parameter between 0 and 1.
