Add an image layer to the canvas as a heatmap.

Use add_image to add the layer as an image.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
image ArrayLike

Image data. Must be 2D or 3D array. If 3D, the last dimension must be RGB(A). Note that the first dimension is the vertical axis.

required
cmap ColormapType

Colormap used for the image.

"gray"
clim (float or None, float or None) or None

Contrast limits. If None, the limits are automatically determined by min and max of the data. You can also pass None separately to either limit to use the default behavior.

None
flip_canvas bool

If True, flip the canvas vertically so that the image looks normal.

False

Returns:

Type Description
Image

The image layer.
