Using layers

Layers are the viewable objects that can be added to a viewer. To learn about how to use the layers currently supported by napari, check the following how-to guides:

• Using the image layer
• Using the labels layer
• Using the points layer
• Using the shapes layer
• Using the surface layer
• Using the tracks layer
• Using the vectors layer

Each of these guides has a section on how to manipulate the layers using the GUI controls and a section on how to manipulate them programmatically.

For a high-level overview of the napari Layers, see Layers at a glance.
