OpenSlide Go is a Golang interface to the OpenSlide library. The library derives code from OpenSlide Python and another Golang library gophenslide. Compared to the latter, additional functionality has been implemented.

• Go 1.19
• golang.org/x/image v0.1.0
• OpenSlide ≥ 3.4.0

OpenSlide Go requires OpenSlide. Run make in the main directory. This requires that you have downloaded the test image in testdata. To do so run

mkdir openslide/testdata && cd openslide/testdata
wget https://openslide.cs.cmu.edu/download/openslide-testdata/Generic-TIFF/CMU-1.tiff && cd ../..
make

Using brew on OS X it might be required to set the environment flags CGO_FLAGS and CGO_LDFLAGS to the appropriate values. For instance

export CGO_CFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/openslide/3.4.1_7/include/openslide/ -g -Wall"
export CGO_LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/Cellar/openslide/3.4.1_7/lib -lopenslide"
