Summary Page

Goal/Questions/Answers slide from AHM 2006

Plan of Attack

In Slicer2:

  • Slicer:Slicer2_Porting_to_VTK5
    • Compiling with changes to the C++ code, maintaining backward compatibility with VTK 4.x and Slicer 2
    • Editing the Tcl interface to work with the ported C++ code
    • Write test cases to define the gold standard we will compare Slicer3 against see [1]

In Slicer3:

  • Port the threads of control in the modules from Tcl to C++
  • Dynamic discovery and loading of modules
  • Write a template for a Slicer3 module
    • Illustrate coding and documentation standards and style
  • Write test templates in C++ and tcl
    • Will have different styles of tests, some that render images and some that produce numerical output, one template for each

Preliminary Notes

  • Focus on the data handling first, not the UI
    • Each module expects to be handed a frame to populate
    • Call the new data model functions
    • Replace global arrays with the new data model
    • The data model can be quiered by pipes or shared memory, but the API will be C++
  • Try to come up with a semi automatic translation method
  • First modules to transition:
    • Kilians segmenter
    • Ibrowser
    • fMRI engine
    • DTI engine
  • TBD:
    • List all the modules and rate difficulty in transition, UI vs data level
    • Migrate old mrml into new coordinate manager space
      • Look at the ITK visitor functionality to traverse a tree and get transforms
      • xpath
