The architecture. The figure shows the relation between the ExtractGC module and other software components that makes up the architecture of pyBioImage. The core application of the pyBioImage application is written in Python with the graphical user library wxPython. The ExtractGC module consists of python classes, used for high level processing, and low-level pixel operations performed in C, exposed through the Python C-extension API. Numerical algorithms, image analysis, image I/O, the graphical user interface and data visualization leverage the use of powerful open-source libraries.
