Showcases

xOpat is server-agnostic and assembled from configuration, plugins, and modules, so the same viewer can be set up in very different ways. This section collects showcases — concrete, end-to-end examples that each demonstrate one way of putting the viewer to use.

Each showcase will walk through a real setup: what it is for, the static configuration behind it (image server, protocols, secure values, enabled plugins/modules, IO), and how to reproduce it. Use them as starting points to adapt to your own environment.

note

This section is just getting started — showcases are being added over time. In the meantime, see the Quick Start to run the viewer locally, the Deployment overview for the ways to host it, and the env/ directory for ready-made configuration examples (DICOM, chat assistants, GitHub IO sink, authenticated proxies, and more).

Planned showcases

Examples we intend to document here include:

• Standalone desktop viewer — the bundled download from the Quick Start.
• Image server + viewer — connecting xOpat to a WSI image server.
• AI chat assistant — a deployment with a chat plugin and a secured proxy.
• Annotations with a persistence backend — routing IO to a remote sink.
• Notebook-driven — opening the viewer from Jupyter or Google Colab.
