Fractal is a framework to process high-content imaging data at scale and prepare it for interactive visualization.

![Fractal_Overview](https://fractal-analytics-platform.github.io/assets/fractal_overview.jpg)

Fractal provides distributed workflows that convert TBs of image data into OME-Zarr files. The platform then processes the 3D image data by applying tasks like illumination correction, maximum intensity projection, 3D segmentation using [cellpose](https://cellpose.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) and measurements using [napari workflows](https://github.com/haesleinhuepf/napari-workflows). The pyramidal OME-Zarr files enable interactive visualization in the napari viewer.

This is the repository that contains the **Fractal client**. Find more information about Fractal in general and the other repositories at the [Fractal home page](https://fractal-analytics-platform.github.io).

## Documentation

Documentation is not yet available.

For installation instructions, see below.

## Installation

Simply

```
pip install fractal-client
```

Subsequently, you may invoke it as `fractal`. Note that you must provide
the following environment variables:

* `FRACTAL_SERVER`: fully qualified URL to the Fractal server installation
* `FRACTAL_USER`, `FRACTAL_PASSWORD`: email and password used to log-in to the
   Fractal server

By default, `fractal` caches some information in `~/.cache/fractal`. This destination
can be customized by setting `FRACTAL_CACHE_PATH`.

For ease of use, you may define an environment file `.fractal.env` in the
folder from which `fractal` is invoked.


## Development

### Installation

Fractal is developed and maintained using [poetry](https://python-poetry.org/).

After cloning the repo, use
```
poetry install --with dev
```
to set up the development environment and all the dependencies and
dev-dependencies. You may run the test suite with
```
poetry run pytest
```

### Releasing

Before release checklist:

- [ ] The `main` branch is checked out
- [ ] You reviewed dependencies and dev dependencies and the lock file is up to
      date with `pyproject.toml`.
- [ ] The current `HEAD` of the main branch passes all the tests
- [ ] Use
```
poetry run bumpver update --dry --[patch|minor] --tag-commit --commit
```
to test updating the version bump
- [ ] If the previous step looks good, use
```
poetry run bumpver update --[patch|minor] --tag-commit --commit
```
to actually bump the version and commit the changes locally.
- [ ] Test the build with
```
poetry build
```
- [ ] If the previous step was successful, push the version bump and tags:
```
git push && git push --tags
```
- [ ] Finally, publish the updated package to pypi with
```
poetry publish --dry-run
```
removing the `--dry-run` when you made sure that everything looks good.
