How Can I add a new wsi format ‘sdpc’?

Hi @lingxitong,
It is possible to create custom slide readers to support formats valis cannot currently read. To do this, you would need to sublcass the slide_io.SlideReader. It needs to be able to convert the slide to numpy arrays (slide2image), pyvips.Image objects (slide2vips), and extract metadata (See the Metadata) class for the information that is usually collected). It looks like the sdpc-for-python does much of this already, so you would essentially just need to make a wrapper for it. Unfortunately, I don't have any sdpc images, so wouldn't be able to work on this myself. Happy to help with any questions you may have though!

Best,
-Chandler
