Thanks for directing me to this conversation, I also think that could be good to have common IO functionalities for 10x outputs in a common package. Btw, the main author...

hi @PeteHaitch and @fuerzhou, about the `SpatialExperiment` I'm not sure how to load data with other technologies, but for loading Visium data we have the `read10xVisum` function. Additionally, the `SpatialExperiment`...

Hi @nilseling, thanks for your comments, it is true that the community is using the `SingleCellExperiment` class by storing the coordinates into the `colData`, but of course now with the...

Hi @lmweber, thanks for following up on this, I totally agree with moving these functions to a dedicated package. I think that @LiNk-NY could also be interested in following this...

Thanks @lmweber and @estellad, I also agree with the plan, I also share @lgeistlinger thoughts on the name of the package and on terra's implementation. > another small thing I...

Thanks Marcel and sorry for the late response!

Maybe we can think about switching the `read10xVisium` into the [`TENxIO`](https://github.com/waldronlab/TENxIO) package, it could be safer for the import of the data and lightens our package from dependencies.

If `DropletUtils::read10xCounts()` already handle this, we could extend the arguments of `read10xVisium()` with a `...` and pass it the to the `read10xCounts` function that we already use for loading the...
