Launch And GUI Integration¶

Top-level entrypoints¶

merfish3d_wfacq.launch_merfish_app¶

• Module: merfish3d_wfacq
• Defined in: merfish3d_wfacq.app
• Purpose: launch pymmcore-gui with the MERFISH dock attached

Parameters:

• mm_config: optional Micro-Manager config path, None, or False
• mmcore: optional existing CMMCorePlus
• exec_app: whether to enter the Qt event loop

Returns:

• pymmcore_gui.MicroManagerGUI

merfish3d_wfacq.enhance_main_window¶

• Module: merfish3d_wfacq
• Defined in: merfish3d_wfacq.gui
• Purpose: attach the MERFISH dock to an existing pyMM main window

Widget registration¶

The MERFISH dock is registered through WidgetActionInfo under the widget key:

• merfish3d_wfacq.merfish_widget

This keeps widget creation and docking under the standard pymmcore-gui registry instead of constructing a custom dock manually.

Main widget class¶

merfish3d_wfacq.gui.MerfishFluidicsWidget¶

Responsibilities:

• owns the MERFISH-specific Qt controls
• loads and previews input files
• reflects Micro-Manager-derived metadata in the UI
• emits REFRESH confirmation responses back to the engine
• validates UI state and dispatches acquisition preparation

The widget does not:

• build image frames
• execute image events
• write arrays to disk
