SLDY file format reader

[toloudis]

Use Case

SLDY is a newer 3i slidebook file format which AICS will be using. From my understanding it is a chunked format stored as numpy arrays. Not sure yet if the metadata format is documented or where.

Solution

SLDYReader class

I've done a tiny bit of work with the metadata (yaml files in the img directory) looking for pixel sizes

Thanks @cfrick13 I think that hits most of the metadata we want? Only problem is: "what do we return from the metadata property of the AICSImage or Reader objects. I am tempted to say a list of files....?? Or a single big dictionary with the file names as the keys:

{
   "ChannelRecord": {...},
   "ImageRecord": {...},
}

I kinda like the big dictionary idea

[cfrick13]

a big dictionary would be cool as a starting point.
