alisterburt / napari-mrcfile-reader Goto Github PK

Hi Alister

I tried to load a complex valued mrcfile in napari but I go the following error:

TypeError: Cannot cast array data from dtype('complex64') to dtype('float64') according to the rule 'safe'

It's legal to save complex valued data in mrcfiles (although the header meta data is ambiguously undefined) but I appreciate that visualising it is more complicated! I'm using this to save the simulated complex exit wave from my simulations and I'd really like to be able to look at the magnitude and phase etc in napari. Do you think this is something that might be possible to do? I've attached an example file here.

exit_wave.zip

Best wishes

Thanks for merging my previous tiny contribution ("permissive=True")! :)

I want to add writing functions (napari_get_writer, napari_write_image) to the plugin, as well as a dock widget with volume and/or slice histograms. The plugin name however is mrcfile-READER so I don't know whether you see it as an appropriate addition or whether it's out of scope and you'd prefer me to make a new separate plugin. Please let me know your thoughts.
