Current Limitations¶

This page lists the main constraints a user should know before treating odon as a general-purpose spatial viewer.

Viewer Model¶

the main viewing path is 2D XY rather than a fully general multidimensional viewer
channels are currently composited additively
image channels are drawn below non-image overlays

Mosaic Mode¶

mosaic mode is currently strongest for imagery
some overlay workflows are more complete in single-view mode
the current mosaic implementation depends on the GPU rendering path

Labels And Overlays¶

NGFF labels are currently rendered as outlines rather than filled masks
label rendering does not yet provide every refinement you might expect from a dedicated label viewer

Remote And Session State¶

remote workflows exist, but credentials are session-only
some project-linked workflows assume local or stable dataset organization

Scope¶

odon is best understood as a fast viewer and lightweight annotation tool. If your workflow requires a full pathology suite, a full multidimensional image authoring environment, or heavy downstream statistics inside the same app, you will likely want companion tools around it.
