Full-Web reimplementation of the DataLab scientific data-processing platform — the entire computation engine and processing catalog run inside the browser.

DataLab Web embeds the Sigima computation engine in Pyodide (CPython compiled to WebAssembly, JupyterLite-style) and pairs it with a dedicated React / TypeScript user interface modelled on the desktop Qt DataLab application. Plotting is delegated to Plotly.js since Qt-based PlotPy is not available in the browser.

The latest release is deployed automatically to GitHub Pages. Open the link in any modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) and the full DataLab application — Sigima, NumPy, SciPy, scikit-image, h5py — runs locally inside the browser tab. No server, no account, no upload: your data never leaves your machine.

First load downloads Pyodide and installs Sigima via micropip (~30–60 s). Subsequent loads are cached by the browser. On Microsoft Edge the first load may be much slower — see doc/troubleshooting.md for the one-line fix.

DataLab Web mirrors a large portion of the desktop application surface:

• Signal & image panels — 1D curves and 2D arrays with a rich set of synthetic generators, full Plotly visualisation, cross-hair markers, contrast adjustment, cross profiles and stats area tools.
• Processing & analysis — operations, transforms, filters, fitting, FFT/PSD, stability analyses, measurements and profile extraction, exposed automatically through the menu bar by introspecting Sigima's catalog.
• ROI & object tree — segment / rectangular / circular / polygonal regions of interest, plus a multi-group workspace with drag & drop, metadata editor, statistics card and computation history.
• Macros & notebooks — embedded Python editor and multi-tab notebook panel, each running in dedicated Web Workers, with .ipynb import/export and bidirectional macro ⇄ notebook conversion. See doc/notebooks.md.
• Plugins — Qt-compatible PluginBase API: the same plugin source runs in DataLab desktop and DataLab Web. See doc/plugins.md.
• I/O — HDF5 browser (via h5py in Pyodide), text import wizard and per-directory save dialog.
• UI niceties — light / dark theme, persisted layout, pop-out result panel, contextual help, full internationalisation.

For the full picture — layer view, component view, worker protocols, the source-tree breakdown and end-to-end flows with diagrams — see doc/architecture.md. The persistence model explains why the HDF5 workspace file is the single durable source of truth.

Prerequisites: Node.js ≥ 18.

npm install
npm run dev      # Vite dev server on http://localhost:5173
npm run build    # static bundle in dist/ (deployable to any static host)
npm run lint     # ESLint
npm run format   # Prettier

The first dev load downloads Pyodide (~10 MB) and installs Sigima via micropip (30–60 s); subsequent loads are cached. Vite is configured with base: "./" so the build works under sub-paths.
