Use the python package tifffile to get the the XML metadata of a .ome.tif file. The R package xml2 is then used to work with it to retrieve specific nodes in the xml data and extract data.
Usage
ometif_metadata(
path,
node = NULL,
output = c("data.frame", "xml", "list", "structure")
)Arguments
- path
character. filepath to .ome.tif image
- node
character vector. Specific xml node to get. More terms can be added to get a node from a specific hierarchy.
- output
character. One of "data.frame" to return a data.frame of the attributes information of the xml node, "xmL" for an xml2 representation of the node, "list" for an R native list (note that many items in the list may have overlapping names that make indexing difficult), or "structure" to invisibly return NULL, but print the structure of the XML document or node.
