pyXenium.contour.generate_barrier_contour_shells

generate_barrier_contour_shells(sdata, *, contour_key, inward, outward, step_size, contour_query=None, barrier_contour_key=None, barrier_query=None, output_key=None, copy=False)

Generate per-contour shells whose outward rings exclude other contours.

Inward rings are produced exactly like generate_contour_shells(). Outward rings are clipped by subtracting all barrier contour interiors, so transcript density outside one contour is not counted inside another.

Parameters:

• sdata (XeniumSlide)

• contour_key (str)

• inward (float)

• outward (float)

• step_size (float)

• contour_query (str | None)

• barrier_contour_key (str | None)

• barrier_query (str | None)

• output_key (str | None)

• copy (bool)

Return type:

XeniumSlide | None
