Welcome to napari-layer-table

A Napari plugin to display a layer as a table. We currently handle point, shape, and labeled layers.

Interface overview

  • The selected layer is displayed in the table.

  • The table has columns for:

    • Point symbol with face color
    • Point coordinates (x,y,z)
    • If the layer has properties, these are also columns

  • Bi-directional selection between layer and table.

  • Bi-directional delete between layer and table.
  • Points added to the layer are added to the table.
  • Points moved in the layer are updated in the table.
  • Changes to face color and symbol in the layer are updated in the table.

Right-click for context menu to:

  • Toggle table columns on/off.
  • Toggle shift+click to add a point to the layer (no need to switch viewer mode)
  • Copy table to clipboard

How to use

  • Select a points layer in the napari viewer and run the plugin

Include in your own code

It is easy to include the napari-layer-table plugin in your own custom code. See Scripting for more information.

Future directions

We are working to extend the plugin to display a table for other Napari layer types including: Labels, Shapes, Tracks, and Vectors.
