This directory contains OMERO scripts which use the OMERO.scripts API. All scripts (e.g. "*.py") present in the directory will be automatically distributed with all binary builds. Which file-endings will be detected and how they will be launched are both configured centrally in the server. ".py", ".jy", and ".m" (MATLAB) files should all be detected by default starting with OMERO 5.
Scripts are separated into several categories, one per directory.
| In the directory | should be scripts which ... |
|---|---|
| analysis_scripts | crunch images to produce numerical results and similar tasks |
| export_scripts | take one or more images as an input, and produce a representation for exchange |
| figure_scripts | take one or more images as an input, and produce a summary representation |
| hcs_scripts | work with screens/plates/wells rather than just images |
| import_scripts | are run on images after import for extra processing |
| processing_scripts | create new images from existing images or other data |
| setup_scripts | are executed once, often by administrators, to configure OMERO itself |
| util_scripts | perform other miscellaneous tasks like cleaning up or optimizing OMERO itself |
Scripts which would like to rely on other scripts can use:
import omero.<sub_dir>.<script_name>
For this to work, the official script in question must be properly importable, i.e.:
def run():
client = omero.scripts.client(...)
if __name__ == "__main__":
run()
If you would like to provide your own scripts for others to install into their OMERO installations, please see http://openmicroscopy.org/info/scripts
