Meeting Notes

Thanks Kilian to visit us :)

General:
  - Review main slicerEM page, add more information

WorkflowManager:
  - Should provide a high-level and a low-level API
  - The High-level API should be very simple
  - All method related to QState should be protected.
  - Add a method lastStep()
  - Make sure it's possible to configure step (Test associated with button, should Next be enabled)
  - Remove any UI related function from CTKCore
  - Review API to eview API validateForward / validateBackward / enter / exit 
 
AnatomicalTree
  - Model or TreeWidget : It resumes using QModel will be esier on the long term and will make 
  interaction management eaiser.
  - Would be a plus to display attributes in the tree itself (class weight, update button, ...)
  - What about  model hierachy node: they didn't exist when EMSegmenter was created.

ColorMap:
  - There is not need to focus on that widget. It will be part of the SlicerQt port effort.

Print and Advanced:
  - There is no need to port.
  
Stop Conditions:
  - Spinbox or slider could be used. Iteration range of 1 to 20 is a reasonable choice.
  - Bias iteration: -1 / 0 => never done / 2 every two iterations
     MFA: Mean field approx - Smoothing labels ... 

Intensity distribution:
  - add matrix widget for covariance matrix

Working directory:
  - Use  ctkWorkingDirectoryButton

VOI:
  - No a priority. Let's wait the DisplayableManager and InteractionNode framework is stable.

Progress report:
  - No a priority - Part of the SlicerQt port effort. Open question


Graph: 
  vtkImageCurveRegion
        Set mean, set coveriance, scaling, ... 
        => Calculates values
        
   ------> vtkImageGraph:  AddCurveRegion
               -> Generate image from Arrays (Fixed number of point)
                      |
                      |-----> vtkImageDrawObjects -> Input(BG)
                                 -> AddObjects=>lines
                      
                      
                      
  Histogram: 
vtkImageDrawObjects.cxx:
 - DrawContinuousLine
 
 - No need to waste time on the logic behind the graph
