What

Slicer 4 review and programming sprint

July 19, 10 am -21, 4pm 2011

Slicer 4 core programmers

Demo room, 2nd floor, 1249 Boylston Street, Boston, MA

Identify roadmap for a Slicer 4 product release for the Nov 27-Dec.2 RSNA demos at the 3DSlicer Booth

Reformat capabilities: We need a widget and possibly a slider based interface.
Main GUI
- face lift for the Slice viewers: reduce permanent non-image components. Reduce the number and depth of submenus.
- 3D viewer should have similar appearance to slice viewers
Update tutorials
- After main gui
- Using GUI Testing
Volume rendering transfer function
- Jittery, and banding
- Threshold
- Better appearance of the elements of the transfer function. They look ugly and are not antialiased. Check the graph in Ohloh and mouse over it. Looks much nicer!
- Group selection and shifting

GPU Volume Rendering
- Support for ATI and MAC
- How many GPU render engines to support/provide?
  - Ron says: I just need a single one that works for flythroughs and can handle the combination of volume rendering, cross-sections, surface models, annotations
hierarchies
- display: the current display is confusing.
- drag and drop capability
Annotations
- vtkWidgets
- GUI layout
- compositing with volume rendering does not work properly
- Working group (?)

Move to git/gerrit (TBD - can it be used with git-svn or is the suggestion to retire svn?)
GUI Testing
- Instrumenting CTK widgets
- Conversion of tutorials to tests
- What will this provide that Sikuli does not? Sonia is ready to use Sikuli unless there is a good reason not to.
Tk/Tcl
- Removing the last dependencies in core interaction loops
- Maintain functionality for Editor
Performance optimization
- Module for profiling events
Extensions
- Support for superbuild
- Requirements for testing, documentation, tutorials, and continued support from developers
  - How to name different levels of compliance
Downloads
- Statistics on packages and on individual extensions
- Web pages
- Technologies
Charts
- Reference Implementation (Marcus)
MIDAS
- sceneviews support
Interactive CLI modules
