Handy Developer Info

Note Slicer version 4.0 is moving towards release. This page contains both the guidelines and the documentation for Slicer 4.0.

The platform provides functionality for segmentation, registration and three-dimensional visualization of multi-modal image data, as well as advanced image analysis algorithms for diffusion tensor imaging, functional magnetic resonance imaging and image-guided therapy. Standard image file formats are supported, and the application integrates interface capabilities to biomedical research software and image informatics frameworks.

Slicer is available for Linux, Mac, and Windows.

Requirements for Modules

  • The module is feature complete, i.e. it does everything that it advertises
  • The module has a test. See here for more information.
  • The module is fully documented. See here for the end-user documentation template.
  • The module complies with Rons rules for tool and the style guide lines, including color palette.

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.
