spatialdataR

This is the development version of spatialdataR; to use it, please install the devel version of Bioconductor.

Representation of Python's spatialdata in R


Bioconductor version: Development (3.24)

R interface to Python/scverse's 'spatialdata' framework for unified spatial omics data handling. Adheres to OME-NGFF standards, providing lazy, on-disk representations for multiscale images and labels (ZarrArray), as well as points and shapes (DuckDB-backed tables). Includes handling of coordinate transformation systems and spatial utilities for cropping, masking, and querying. Integrates tabular annotations as 'SingleCellExperiment's (via 'anndataR'), enabling interoperable spatial omics workflows across R and Python.
