Landing / Orientation Pages (Start Here)#

These pages are the fastest way to get oriented in the Cellucid web app:

  • If you are new (or teaching someone else): start with the 60‑second tour.

  • If you are experienced but “lost” in a new UI: jump to the UI glossary.

  • If the app is slow/blank/doesn’t load: go to System requirements first.

Recommended reading order

  1. Quick tour (60 seconds)

  2. UI glossary (terminology)

  3. “Which workflow is for me?” decision tree

  4. System requirements (or sooner if anything feels “off”)

  5. What is Cellucid? (concept + mental model)

Quick Tour (60s)

Click-by-click: load → color → move → compare → export.

UI Glossary

Definitions of “view”, “snapshot”, “field”, “dimension”, “highlight”, and other terms exactly as used in the app.

Workflow Decision Tree

Choose the right path: a file on your disk, a link, AnnData in Python, or a shareable hosted dataset.

System Requirements

Browser/GPU requirements (WebGL2), plus a large troubleshooting section for blank canvas and GPU crashes.
