Installation¶
You can either install blik
through the napari plugin system, through pip, or get both napari and blik directly with:
pip install "blik[all]"
The [all]
qualifier also installs pyqt5
as the napari GUI backend, and a few additional napari plugins that you might find useful in your workflow:
Basic Usage¶
From the command line:
napari -w blik -- /path/to.star /path/to/mrc/files/*
The -w blik
is important for proper initialization of all the layers. Keep the main widget open to ensure nothing goes wrong!
blik
is just napari
. Particles and images are exposed as simple napari layers, which can be analysed and manipulated with simple python, and most importantly other napari plugins.
