Key Investigators
- BWH: Nicole Aucoin
- Kitware: Sebastien Barre
Objective
Revisting the Color module in Slicer3 to expand it's functionality, as well as it's integration with the Volumes and Editor modules.
Approach, Plan
- Fix bug color module and color picker should work with each other
- Fix bug FreeSurfer procedural color nodes do not display correctly in Color module
- Introduce sub menus in the color node selector (may need to subclass the node selector widget, or write it as a standard menu). Suggested divisions:
- continuous versus discrete
- legacy
- atlas
- FreeSurfer
- by functional utility (good for registration, fMRI, etc)
- Update module documentation to include a line describing each colour node and what it's suited for (ie Ocean for registration results)
- Fix the names to be more descriptive in the drop down menu (FS->FreeSurfer)
- Remove deprecated nodes
- Update editing to allow specifying LUTs by hue/range/ramp
- From Ron: allow quantitative specification (ie 5 is red, 10 is blue)
- Allow pop up scale widget to show the mapping between colours and values
Progress
So far:
- Color Picker:
- Sebastien exposing the kw widgets color picker get color swatches method so that can add collections and new rgb swatches, so can add to the default collections
- Nicole modified Slicer to add color swatch collections on first invocation of the color picker dialog
- Sebastien added the ability to switch between the grid display in the swatch to a list that can be scrolled (works better if more slowly for large colour tables)
- Clean up
- Removed SPLBrainAtlas, use the file
- Removed FSSurfacedLabels
- Renamed FSLabels to FreeSurferLabels
- Documentation
- added descriptions for color nodes
- get the descriptions in the color gui help pane
