Hi spatialdata folks,

I am reproducing the notebook here:  
[https://spatialdata.scverse.org/en/latest/tutorials/notebooks/notebooks/examples/alignment\_using\_landmarks.html](https://spatialdata.scverse.org/en/latest/tutorials/notebooks/notebooks/examples/alignment_using_landmarks.html)

But I am not able to get result from the Interactive() function, it shows the following error:  
TypeError: Interactive. **init** () got an unexpected keyword argument ‘points’

And if I try running: Interactive([visium\_sdata, xenium\_sdata]), still get error:

I know it may be some silly mistake from my side, but I am grateful if you can help on this.

Hi Taobo thanks for reporting. This is a residual of us having used `napari-spatialdata` with the `spatialdata` branch instead of the `main` branch when running that notebook. We will fix it. For the time being please just remove the `points` argument. In case of other problems with napari we kindly ask you to report them and we will fix them. For temporary use the `spatialdata` branch is still available (but `main` will work as well).

I’m getting the same error when trying to load two spatialdata objects into napari.

Any fix for this yet? Thanks!

Thanks JurgenKriel, we have a fix that is almost ready to merge in this PR: [https://github.com/scverse/napari-spatialdata/pull/136](https://github.com/scverse/napari-spatialdata/pull/136). You can already use it even if it is not merged to main (we are addressing some edge cases before merging, but it is already functioning).
