`wsi-rs` is a Rust whole-slide image reader. It opens TIFF-family WSI,
DICOM VL WSI, Zeiss CZI/ZVI, MIRAX, Hamamatsu VMS/VMU, Olympus VSI/ETS, raw
JPEG 2000 codestream fixtures, and `.svcache` containers. JPEG, JPEG 2000,
and HTJ2K decode is delegated to the `j2k-*` crates.
The main crate forbids `unsafe` code.
Unsupported or incomplete sources return `WsiError`; they should not silently
produce black or partial pixels.
## Install
```sh
cargo add wsi-rs
```
## Quick Start
```rust,no_run
use wsi_rs::{RegionRequest, Slide, TileOutputPreference, TilePixels, TileRequest};
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let slide = Slide::open("sample.svs")?;
let region = RegionRequest::builder(0usize, 0usize, 0u32)
.origin_px((0, 0))
.size_px((1024, 1024))
.build()?;
slide.read_region_rgba(®ion)?.save("region.png")?;
let tile = TileRequest::builder(0usize, 0usize, 0u32).tile(0, 0).build()?;
if let TilePixels::Cpu(cpu_tile) = slide.read_tile(&tile, TileOutputPreference::cpu())? {
println!("{}x{}", cpu_tile.width(), cpu_tile.height());
}
Ok(())
}
```
Use `SlideOpenOptions` for explicit cache budgets, read-through `.svcache`
lookup, custom registries, region limits, or decode execution settings.
Build cache files with:
```sh
cargo run --release --bin svcache -- build sample.svs --out sample.svs.svcache
```
## Supported Inputs
| TIFF-family WSI | `.svs`, `.tif`, `.tiff`, `.ndpi`, `.scn`, `.bif` |
| DICOM VL WSI | `.dcm` files or a DICOM series directory |
| Zeiss | `.czi`, `.zvi` |
| MIRAX | `.mrxs` plus sibling data files |
| Hamamatsu VMS/VMU | `.vms`, `.vmu` plus sibling image files |
| Olympus VSI | `.vsi` plus matching ETS companion data |
| Raw JPEG 2000 codestream | `.j2k`, `.j2c` |
| `.svcache` | `.svcache` |
## Features
| `metal` | off | Metal-backed device payloads on macOS. |
| `cuda` | off | CUDA-backed payload surface. |
| `parity-openslide` | off | OpenSlide oracle parity tests. |
| `parity-metal` | off | Metal parity checks on macOS. |
## OpenSlide Compatibility Shim
The workspace includes `wsi-rs-openslide-shim`, a C ABI library that exports
OpenSlide-compatible symbols and routes reads through wsi-rs.
```sh
cargo build -p wsi-rs-openslide-shim --release
cargo run -p wsi-rs-openslide-shim --bin wsi-rs-openslide-install -- \
install --shim target/release/libwsi_rs_openslide_shim.dylib \
--prefix /tmp/wsi-rs-openslide
```
Use `.so` instead of `.dylib` on Linux. Test in a private prefix before
replacing any system OpenSlide library.
## Development
```sh
cargo xtask validate
cargo xtask rc-preflight
cargo xtask fuzz-check
```
`cargo xtask validate` runs the default local gate.
`cargo xtask rc-preflight` runs API checks, supply-chain checks, fuzz target
type-checking, feature-combination checks, validation, and package dry-run
checks.
