Another goal is to provide A Guide to Python in Slicer for the Casual Power User which means that this walkthrough of the features of Slicer should give you an idea how to make a custom module that helps organize and automate your processing. This can be useful for your own research or you can create helper modules that simplify the work for users who are exploring an algorithm or working with a large set of studies.
 
 
 
In this tutorial, we'll make a module that allows you to quickly sequence through a set of volumes. We'll see how to make a custom GUI with a slider, how to implement the volume switching functionality, and how to write a self-test for the module.

Before the breakout session


Goal

During the breakout session we will walk through the resources available for creating, building and distributing extension in Slicer 4. It is based on a build of Slicer r22100 and the wiki documentation as of project week (June 17, 2013).

Then we'll go through the list of Questions reported below and look at how the current system could be improved.


Q&A

Do not hesitate to edit this page and add more questions

  • Infrastructure: How much of slicer's core infrastructure should be used by extensions ?

From Andra Lasso: Currently the picture is quite mixed:

Source control: separate for all extensions
Issue tracking: separate for most extensions
Module documentation: shared between Slicer core and extensions

(extensions appear in a different section)

Hosting of binary releases: shared between Slicer core and extensions

(extensions appear in a different category)

Dashboard: shared between Slicer core and extensions (extensions appear in

a different category)


  • Process: Can you make a python scripted extension without a built version of slicer ?
