From d22df602e1aba2ca217d51a56c98c45a11cadc30 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Omkar Kabde Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2026 01:06:24 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] Document single-plane projection for points layers Note the new points projection in the layer context menu, added in napari/napari#9195. The Projection submenu previously listed only image intensity projections. --- docs/getting_started/viewer.md | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/docs/getting_started/viewer.md b/docs/getting_started/viewer.md index 5d099b2bc..c19b31dfc 100644 --- a/docs/getting_started/viewer.md +++ b/docs/getting_started/viewer.md @@ -683,6 +683,7 @@ A context-sensitive menu is available when you right-click on any of the layers. - **sum projection** - the sum projection simply adds together all the pixel values in the stack for a given position. In this projection, the image is typically re-scaled to a 16-bit image, as the sum of all the pixel intensity values usually exceeds 255, which would result in a completely white 8-bit image. - **mean projection** - the mean projection is the average intensity projection. It simply averages all the pixel values in the stacks to make the final projected image. - **median projection** - the median projection takes the median pixel intensity for the final projected image. + - **Single plane** - available for **Points** layers with more than 2 dimensions. Rather than an intensity projection, it adds a new points layer with the first axis removed (for example, dropping the z coordinate of a 3D layer), keeping every point along with its size, color, symbol, and features. - **Link Layers** - links the selected layers. Once layers are linked, any action performed on one layer will be performed on all linked layers at the same time. The layer control panel will show _only_ when a single layer is selected. Changing properties with that layer's control panel will change properties in all of the linked layers. - **Unlink Layers** - appears when layers are linked. It unlinks the layers so that changes to one of the layer's properties no longer result in the same changes to the previously linked layers. - **Select Linked Layers** - appears only when layers are linked. Selects all layers linked to a given layer.
