Extending Pyxu

Pyxu FAIR

A marketplace for Pyxu-based plugins

While Pyxu offers flexibility and portability across various imaging domains, its general-purpose design might not cater to the specific needs of certain imaging communities. The Pyxu FAIR addresses this by offering a platform that allows for the development, sharing, and integration of specialized plugins to enhance the framework.

In simple terms, the Pyxu FAIR is designed to supercharge your Pyxu experience.
