We invite anyone interested in our project to contribute to the development of the project, request new features, discuss ideas, or otherwise engage with ReFigure by creating a new issue or emailing us at [email protected]. Thank you!

Projects for developers

These are two big features we'd like to tackle next. Can you help? We welcome your input and help.

We would like to integrate an image visualization/manipulation API like IIIF to allow users to capture panels within figures rather than the entire figure as described [here (level 2 compliance)][https://elifesciences.org/labs/d6044799/dynamically-serving-scientific-images-using-iiif]. Please see issue #4.

We would like to create domain handlers for more publisher websites or repositories, such as [PubMed][https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed]. The current PMC domain handler would be a great place to start for a handler for PubMed. Please see issue #5.

Please also refer to the [issues][https://github.com/re-figure/refigure/issues] for further feature requests.
