Module Description

This module simply illustrates each type of parameter available through a Slicer Command Line Module. The parameters are described in an XML document and the user interface is constructed on the fly within Slicer.

Usage

This module is only intended to be used to demonstrate the types of parameters available and the user interface that will be generated for each parameter type.

Examples, Use Cases & Tutorials

• The Slicer Execution Model is documented here

Development

As new parameters are added to the Execution Model, we typically add a demonstration of that parameter type in this module.

     Multiple input files

   --file1 <std::string>
     An input file

   --boolean3
     A boolean with no default, should be defaulting to false

   <std::string>
     (required)  First index argument is an image
