2010-07-29

Attendees: Steve, Jim, Nicole, Tina, Xiaodong, Wendy,

Agenda:

  • discuss how to correctly remove display nodes if they become not needed after CLI invocation (this is just a hint for Nicole, we talked about this today, I will try to join around 3:45 --Fedorov 17:48, 29 July 2010 (UTC))
    • usability level: what if there was something set on the output volume already? (Field of View)
    • copy the input reference display node values inot the current output display node rather than creating a new one (if type is same)
    • display node management is done when load volume back in
    • if create new volume node (from a node selector), it doesn't create default display node automatically
    • in command line module logic, store the information about what do you want to hook up (input volume display node id), and then in vtkSlicerApplication logic, when read things in set them up (around line 1570).
    • if a display node should only be used by one thing (current implementation), in this rare case where change the type of the display node, remove the old display node node
    • add method vtkMRMLScene to check if any displayable node references a given display node? Not necessary yet...
    • every node has to be able to report everything it references (on vtkMRMLNode, see also UpdateReferenceID there)
    • update the read data request with the reference display node and then put logic in the Slier application logic to deal with it, extend ReadDataRequest in vtkSlicerApplicationLogic.cxx

2010-07-08

Attendees: Jim, Stephen, Nicole, Tina, Junichi, Xiaodong, Vince, Harini, Wendy

Agenda:

  • Generalized plotting infrastructure in Slicer?
    • Have DCE plotting infrastructure
    • Also have CTK transfer function widget plotting
    • Need generalized base class for plots, upon which other specialized plotting can be based?
    • 3D Slicer 4D Analysis Module has 2D plotting
    • Nicole's wish list, based on use of scatter plots in population studies (one brain surface geometry file will have multiple scalars defined at each vertex) (see pages 70 and up here where BLT was used):
      • highlight on mouse over a plotted point
      • toggle plotted point, or data set, visibility
      • legends: change text, colour, font, position for data set name, axis labels, chart title
      • print/save image to disk, export as table, postscript, pdf
      • set x/y axis variables (for example: input file has 10 values, allow selecting two to plot, and allow changing this at run time)
      • support plotting from multiple data sources
      • set plot symbol/colour/style to plot each data source
      • programmatic add/remove points from plot
      • on hover over a plotted point, pop up extra information about it (be able to associate extra info with a plotted point, for example if have a file that has an index, id, gender, age, val2, val1, when plot age versus val1, pop up id when hover over the point)
      • calculate average line through scatter plot
      • allow user to see values for all points

Notes

  • Slicer Extensions
    • Reuse Statistics functionalities from MIDAS to report on downloads from
    • http://ext.slicer.org/ext/trunk/
    • Building Slicer extensions and submit them to the Slicer Dashboard
    • Where are they located ? (it is described in the .s3ext files:)
    • Maybe build them only when their source code is actually modified ?
    • Label extensions by a level of compliance with NAMIC practices ?
      • E.g. Gold, Silver, Bronze,... Coal.
        • Gold: have > 80% coverage, 0 Valgrind errors, documentation and tutorial
        • Silver: have > 70% coverage, < 10 Valgrind errors, and tutorial
        • Bronze: have > 60% coverage, < 50 Valgrind errors, and tutorial
        • Coal: have < 10% coverage, > 1000 Valgrind errors, no documentation, no tutorial
    • Web of trust
      • Have gatekeepers who review the extension and label them accordingly.
      • Define a Testing procedure for Slicer 4.0. (Check lists)
    • Community Support
      • Provide User Ratings (based on the Insight Journal / MIDAS functionality)
      • Use current MIDAS C++ API to Upload/Download data.
      • Create MIDAS Plugins to manage data / code for Slicer extensions
  • Slicer Release 3.6
    • VTK Release 5.6 : March 26th 2010
    • Immediately after, switching Slicer to use VTK 5.6.
    • Sorting out KWWidget issues on Windows 7 with VTK 5.6 (VTK CVS HEAD).
  • Slicer Release 4.0
    • Git: Conversion of CMake, VTK, Paraview
    • Moving Slicer to Git ?
    • ITK 4.0 will move to a clean Git repository (full reset of the history)
    • Moving only Slicer modules that satisfy the Gold criteria.
    • A2D2 Idea : port CLI modules to ITK 4.0
    • Question about CLI modules in CTK for Slicer 4.0: Discovery process; making it cleaner by using Qt methods. But raise the concern of forcing a dependency on Qt (that not everybody may want).
      • Have specific mechanisms of discovery based on : Python, Qt, C++.
    • MRML Refactoring ?
      • Jim suggests to add a dictionary-like organization to be able to query MRML nodes {by type,...}.
  • Slicer Superbuild
    • Dave reported on progress
      • Dealing with patches that getbuildtest.tcl applies to the third party libraries.
        • Difficulty of applying patches. Need for a multi-platform way of applying patches
        • Hosting git repositories with the patched versions of the third party libraries.
        • Use github ? create a "Slicer" user-account ?
        • CMake-ifying Python source tree ?
  • Testing Modules and Extensions
    • Hosting them in MIDAS
    • Setting up Dashboard configuration to test modules as Slicer sub-projects
    • Some CDash/CTest work is needed.
    • Currently, sub-projects must be run from a common CTest script (the same of the host project).
    • Needs to manage dependencies between extensions. (this can be done today with an XML file on CDash).
  • Testing Submission Grouping
    • Grouping {configure/build/test} submissions by Library and / or subdirectory
    • Using CMake for generating labels that can be used later for grouping
