For now, the package is only available via GitHub. Install it using:
pip install --upgrade https://github.com/rbnvrw/nd2reader/tarball/master
If you don't already have the packages numpy
, pims
, six
and xmltodict
, they will be installed automatically if you use the setup.py
script.
nd2reader
is an order of magnitude faster in Python 3. I recommend using it unless you have no other choice. Python 2.7 and Python >= 3.4 are supported.
nd2reader
follows the pims framework. To open a file and show the first frame:
from nd2reader import ND2Reader
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
with ND2Reader('my_directory/example.nd2') as images:
plt.imshow(images[0])
After opening the file, all pims
features are supported. Please refer to the pims documentation.
