Indentation

Configure your text editor to do VTK style indentation:

Naming

  • Local variable should start with a lower case.
    • For example:
void vtkSlicerSliceLogic::SetForegroundLayer(vtkSlicerSliceLayerLogic *ForegroundLayer) // wrong!

should be

void vtkSlicerSliceLogic::SetForegroundLayer(vtkSlicerSliceLayerLogic *foregroundLayer)
  • Member variable should start with a capital letter, and in implementation should be used in conjunction with 'this->' convention
    • For example
class Node {
  Object &Foo();
  Object Bla;
};
Object& Node::Foo()
{
  return this->Bla;
}
