Extensions
Introduction
- Slicer Extensions are the "on-ramp" to the Slicer "highway". What they provide is a mechanism for anybody, including third parties, to provide modules which extend the functionality of 3d Slicer.
- While the Slicer license is suggested for extensions, it is not required. Please review the documentation of the extension carefully.
- For a subset of extensions, you can use the extension wizard in Slicer to find their webpages and to install/uninstall individual extensions.
- In case of problems with extensions, please talk directly to the developers of the extensions.
- Information for developers can be found here. See here for the end-user documentation template.
- In Slicer 4, all new modules will begin as "Immature Extensions". They will progress to the status of "Mature Extensions", when they meet all the criteria listed below. In order to become part of the main Slicer distribution a discussion with the Slicer core team will have to be initiated after reaching the mature extension status.
Collections
Collections are groups of extensions that can be downloaded in a single operation. You can think of them as the equivalent to a playlist.
