Description

The CLI is useful for quickly inspecting data and provides an accessible way for users unfamiliar with Python to interact with the tool. I plan to expand the CLI functionalities, including:

  • Retrieving the extent of the data.
  • Displaying the Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) of coordinate transformations.
  • Extracting downscaled versions of images (e.g., PNGs) from large Zarr images.

These new features will enhance the CLI experience and make it more versatile. I've opened an issue to discuss the implementation of these features.

Research direction

No files or tests are identified in the issue. Start by locating the existing Python CLI entry points and commands for inspecting data, then review how coordinate transformations and large Zarr images are represented. Define the expected output for data extent, transformation DAG display, and downscaled PNG extraction before implementing and testing each feature.
