Description

write_ome_zarr takes spacing and origin as keywords and the Direction only inside attributes, which its docstring did not say. A caller who passes the first two and not the third gets a store that reads back axis-aligned; a registration run on such a pair returns its field in that frame, which on an LPS pair is mirrored about the origin and zero everywhere once carried back to the store's own frame. One paragraph now names the sidecar and that consequence. Docstring only.

Type of change

  • docs: documentation only

How has this been tested?

ruff check konfai/utils/ome_zarr.py && ruff format --check konfai/utils/ome_zarr.py   # clean

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified that spacing, origin, and attributes are keyword-only options when writing OME-Zarr data.
    • Documented the meaning of these metadata options.
    • Clarified that missing direction metadata is interpreted as identity or axis-aligned orientation.

…es sidecar

write_ome_zarr takes spacing and origin as keywords, and the Direction only inside ``attributes``,
which the docstring did not say. A caller who passes the first two and not the third gets a store
that reads back axis-aligned, and a registration run on such a pair returns its field in that frame:
on an LPS pair, mirrored about the origin, and zero everywhere once carried back to the store's own
frame. One paragraph names the sidecar and that consequence.

In `@konfai/utils/ome_zarr.py`:
- Around line 837-838: Update the documentation near ome_zarr_attributes() to
state that the identity-matrix fallback occurs when the sidecar attributes lack
a Direction entry, including the resulting LPS/axis-aligned frame consequence;
do not imply the entire sidecar must be absent.
- Around line 836-838: Update the write_ome_zarr docstring to document spacing
and origin as keyword-only arguments, explicitly noting that both must be
supplied by name because they follow the * separator.

836-840: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The new statement that an omitted Direction “reads back as the identity” is too broad: read_ome_zarr_data_slice returns the raw attributes sidecar and does not add that key. Scope the identity default to the ome_zarr_attributes/image conversion path, or document that raw metadata still omits Direction, so callers do not rely on an identity matrix that is absent.
