Objective

Create a pluggable structure for managing MRML<-->VTK Rendering and Widget interactions in the context of Slicer4. This include mapping MRML annotation nodes to and from vtkWidgets, mapping vtkMRMLModelNode and hierarchies to vtkActors/vtkMappers.

Others:

  • Fidicials (all annotations)
  • ROIs
  • VolumeRendering
  • Module-specific rendering (should be possible for loadable module to register a class that maps MRML nodes to-from elements in the vtkRenderWindow

Approach, Plan

Create a vtkSlicerManagerFactory and vtkSlicerAbstractManager. The vtkSlicerAbstractManager is parameterized by a vtkRenderWindow and is subclassed for each purpose. The vtkSlicerManagerFactory holds a registry of manager types so that when a new 3D Viewer is create, a set of managers is associated with the viewer.

Loadable modules should be able to access to ManagerFactory and register custom manager types to handle their custom nodes.

Progress

Complete success of this project is near!
