This page provides developer's information for 3D Slicer's OpenIGTLink IF module.

Create external OpenIGTLink server/client software

With the OpenIGTLink IF module, you can exchange various types of data (e.g. linear transforms and images) between 3D Slicer and external software over the local area network. We provide OpenIGTLink Library to support OpenIGTLink-compatible software. Please refer the Tutorial.

Control OpenIGTLink IF from Python module

You can use the OpenIGTLink IF module's features from 3D Slicer's Python interface. The features can be called from both Slicer Python Interactor (Python console) and Python module.
