Tiffslide-Xarray integration

[swamidass]

I've made a new plugin for Xarray that uses tiffslide to read tiff and svs files.

pip install tiffslide-xarray

Our group is using this library to process whole-slide images in Pathology. Let us know if this is helpful to you and how we can better design the API before fully stabilizing it.

Interesting! Thanks for posting it here 😃
It's always nice to see tiffslide being used in other tools!

What kind of processing are you using xarray for when working with whole-slide images?
