how to extend knossos #495

Open thorstenwagner opened 4 years ago

thorstenwagner commented 4 years ago

Hi!

I'm looking for a guide to write an extension for specific image format (.mrc https://pypi.org/project/mrcfile/ ). I've read on your webpage that this is possible but I can't find any explanation.

Could you provide some details?

Best, Thorsten

We usually just convert files to tiff stacks and generate KNOSSOS datasets from those. (which can then also be streamed with any file server) If conversion is to be avoided https://github.com/knossos-project/knossos_cuber/tree/dev could be adjusted to provide directly loading from mrc.
