API

• vtkSlicerApplicationLogic provides some convenient functions allowing to obtain the share directory associated with a given module filepath.

• Note also that if vtkSlicerConfigure is included the macros Slicer_CLIMODULES_SUBDIR, Slicer_QTLOADABLEMODULES_SUBDIR and Slicer_QTSCRIPTEDMODULES_SUBDIR will be available.
