API Overview¶

merfish3d-wfacq adds a MERFISH-specific layer on top of pymmcore-gui, pymmcore-plus, and ome-writers.

The custom API surface is split by boundary:

• Launch and GUI integration
• Preparation and normalization
• Execution and custom actions
• Writing and datastore setup

Boundary summary¶

• app.py and gui.py attach the widget to pymmcore-gui.
• ui_state.py, workflow.py, and dispatch.py normalize widget state and build the prepared acquisition.
• sequence.py converts normalized metadata into a full list[MDAEvent].
• engine.py subclasses MDAEngine and handles MERFISH CustomActions.
• sink.py and datastore.py prepare the qi2lab datastore and stream frames through ome-writers.
