Image Reading, Metadata Conversion, and Image Writing for Microscopy Images in Pure Python

## Documentation

[See the full documentation on our GitHub pages site](https://bioio-devs.github.io/bioio/OVERVIEW.html)

## Example Usage (see full documentation for more examples)

Install bioio alongside OME TIFF and OME ZARR plug-ins with pip (this example won't use the OME ZARR plug-in):

`pip install bioio bioio-ome-tiff bioio-ome-zarr`

```python
from bioio import BioImage

# Get a BioImage object
img = BioImage("my_file.tiff")  # selects the first scene found
img.data  # returns 5D TCZYX numpy array
img.xarray_data  # returns 5D TCZYX xarray data array backed by numpy
img.dims  # returns a Dimensions object
img.dims.order  # returns string "TCZYX"
img.dims.X  # returns size of X dimension
img.shape  # returns tuple of dimension sizes in TCZYX order
img.get_image_data("CZYX", T=0)  # returns 4D CZYX numpy array

# Get the id of the current operating scene
img.current_scene

# Get a list valid scene ids
img.scenes

# Change scene using name
img.set_scene("Image:1")
# Or by scene index
img.set_scene(1)

# Use the same operations on a different scene
# ...
```
## Plug-in Registry

Bioio handles a variety of different image types through specific plug-ins. The bioio-dev supported plug-ins can be found within
this registry.

Each reader plugin should closely follow the specification laid out in `bioio-base`. As such, it is likely common that reader plugins won't distribute their own documentation and users should instead review  [`bioio_base.reader.Reader`](https://bioio-devs.github.io/bioio-base/bioio_base.html#bioio_base.reader.Reader) for API documentation for the underlying Reader API. We encourage plugin authors to publish their own documentation if they change or include new features into their published image readers.

## Writer Registry

BioIO supports a set of writer backends for exporting image data. The writer registry below lists maintained writer plug-ins.

| Writer           | Extension                                              | Documentation |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| OmeTiffWriter    | .ome.tiff                                                         | [Repo](https://github.com/bioio-devs/bioio-ome-tiff)|
| OMEZarrWriter    | .ome.zarr (OME-NGFF 0.4.0 and 0.5.0)                              | [Repo](https://github.com/bioio-devs/bioio-ome-zarr)|
| TimeSeriesWriter | .gif, .mp4, .mkv                                                  | [Repo](https://github.com/bioio-devs/bioio-imageio) |
| TwoDWriter       | .png, .bmp, .jpg, .mov, .avi, .mpg, .mpeg, .mp4, .mkv, .wmv, .ogg | [Repo](https://github.com/bioio-devs/bioio-imageio) |


### Writer Installation and Usage
Writers will be installed with the respective plugin. Once installed they can be imported via `bioio.writers`.
ex. `bioio.writers<Writer Name>`

```python
import numpy as np
from bioio.writers import OmeTiffWriter # with bioio-ome-tiff installed

image = np.random.rand(10, 3, 1024, 2048)
OmeTiffWriter.save(image, "file.ome.tiff", dim_order="ZCYX")
```
