## Tell Us About…

### Your Project

#### Raster Explorer
The project will ideally be a prototype which will allow beamline scientists and users to explore already collected raster data. The app will have two views, one of which will be a sample image with a raster grid overlayed. Each cell in the grid will be clickable which in turn will open the diffraction image stored in an HDF5 file. Currently, this exploration is only possible through the data acquisition QT application during data collection. This app will allow data exploration after all data has been collected.

### Required Data

- What data sets will you be using for your project?
1. An image of the sample with a grid overlayed
2. HDF5 file containing diffraction images
3. File containing meta-data which shows display parameters

### Skills, tools, & technology

- What skills, tools, and technology will you need. We will work things you mention here into our workshops to best equip you to tackle your project.


### Needs

- Pre-processing of images
    - @Cameron: follow-up with Dan Allan on where to put intermediate computations on top of Tiled? The transformations will be uniform.
        - Option 1: write your own FastAPI middle-layer that sits between tiled
        - Option 1b: can a FastAPI service make Tiled requests on a users behalf?
        - Option 2: extend Tiled to include these
        - Option 3: does Tiled have any custom endpoint support?
- FastAPI prototype
    - @James: create a simple FastAPI demo to show how to write one
