Cellier

Cellier is a toolkit of visualization components for creating rich, interactive, visualizations of multiscale scientific data. The target audience is developers who want to create custom, interactive visualizations of their scientific data. Thus, we don’t include a fully-built application in Cellier. Instead, we provide a set of components that are easy to mix-and-match to make the application you want.

In scope:

  • Rendering of 2d and 3d scenes from nD data
  • Rendering of multiple data types (images, labels, points, meshes, lines)
  • Multiscale rendering with out-of-core data management
  • Interactive tools for exploring and annotating data (e.g., painting labels)
  • Multiple frontends.
  • Multiple backends (possible, but not a priority at the moment)

Not in scope:

  • A full application. If you are interested in a ready-to-use viewer, there are many great projects such as napari, ndv, and FIJI.
  • A plugin interface
