Developer Interface

This part of the documentation covers the interfaces of LLSpy that one might use in development or interactive sessions. This page is a work in progress: there is much more undocumented functionality in the source code.

Main Functions

Processing routines can be called directly with a path to the LLS experiment directory.

Main Classes

Most routines in LLSpy begin with the instantiation of an LLSdir object. This class is also instantiated by the preview and process functions

LLS directory

cudaDeconv wrapper

*Settings.txt parser

Wrapped CUDA functions

Exceptions

Schema

Many functions such as the preview and process functions accept keyword arguments that determine processing options. These are all validated using the schema in llspy.schema. Options include:

Key Default Description
correctFlash False do Flash residual correction
moveCorrected True move processed corrected files to original LLSdir
flashCorrectTarget cpu {“cpu”, “cuda”, “parallel”} for FlashCor
medianFilter False do Keller median filter
keepCorrected False save corrected images after processing
trimZ (0, 0) num Z pix to trim off raw data before processing
trimY (0, 0) num Y pix to trim off raw data before processing
trimX (0, 0) num X pix to trim off raw data before processing
nIters 10 deconvolution iters
nApodize 15 num pixels to soften edge with for decon
nZblend 0 num top/bot Z sections to blend to reduce axial ringing
bRotate False do Rotation to coverslip coordinates
rotate None angle to use for rotation
saveDeskewedRaw False whether to save raw deskewed
saveDecon True whether to save decon stacks
MIP (0, 0, 1) whether to save XYZ decon MIPs
rMIP (0, 0, 0) whether to save XYZ raw MIPs
mergeMIPs True do MIP merge into single file (decon)
mergeMIPsraw True do MIP merge into single file (deskewed)
uint16 True save decon as unsigned int16
uint16raw True save deskewed raw as unsigned int16
bleachCorrection False do photobleach correction
doReg False do channel registration
regRefWave 488 reference wavelength when registering
regMode 2step transformation mode when registering
regCalibPath None directory with registration calibration data
mincount 10 minimum number of beads expected in regCal data
reprocess False reprocess already-done data when processing
tRange None time range to process (None means all)
cRange None channel range to process (None means all)
otfDir None directory to look in for PSFs/OTFs
camparamsPath None file path to camera Parameters .tif
verbose 0 verbosity level when processing {0,1,2}
cropMode none {manual, auto, none} - auto-cropping based on image content
autoCropSigma 2 gaussian blur sigma when autocropping
width 0 final width when not autocropping (0 = full)
shift 0 crop shift when not autocropping
cropPad 50 additional pixels to keep when autocropping
background -1 background to subtract. -1 = autodetect
compressRaw False do compression of raw data after processing
compressionType lbzip2 compression binary {lbzip2, bzip2, pbzip2, pigz, gzip}
writeLog True write settings to processinglog.txt
