VeniceInterop

This repository was built during the 2026 Hackathon in San Servolo, Venice.

It shows a vignette how to:

• read a SpatialData object in python
• write the SpatialData object in python
• read the SpatialData object in R
• run R methods on the SpatialData object (spacexr, sosta)
• plot the updated SpatialData object in R using SpatialData.plot

In the process of building this vignette we updated several key components of both the SpatialData and SpatialData.plot packages:

• lazy queries of SpatialData objects such as a bounding-box or polygons with duckspatial
• updating SpatialData.plot to work on geom_sf in response to the SpatialData changes.
• enabling plotting of multichannel images in SpatialData.plot
