Supported data

Data is read by data providers, one per file format and kind of data: a format such as TIFF has an image and a labels provider, both configured through a data source of the same type. Every page describes one format: the fields of its data sources, the profiles of the format it detects from a file (such as OME-TIFF, or GeoParquet), the conventions it honors (such as the pandas index of a Parquet file), what it reads for each kind of data, and its limitations.

The following table lists the capabilities of the built-in data providers:

Data provider	Images	Labels	Points	Shapes	Tables
Image	Image or tile source
TIFF	TIFF source	TIFF source
OME-Zarr	OME-Zarr source	OME-Zarr source
Table			Table reference
GeoJSON				GeoJSON source
Parquet				Parquet source	Parquet source
CSV					CSV source
HDF5					HDF5 source
Zarr					Zarr source

Additional data formats may be supported by third-party data providers.
