| − | A [[Slicer3:Python | Python]] interpreter has been integrated into Slicer3. More details of the Python language can be found at [http://www.python.org Python.org]. This interpreter may be used to execute Python script plugins. The modules have a few specific requirements to be correctly found and used as plugins. Like the standard executable and shared library plugins, Python plugins need to be self describing. To do this, the script must have a top level variable called '''XML''' or provide a '''toXML''' procedure. For example:

| − | Details of the XML format are found in the main [[Slicer3:Execution Model Documentation | Execution Model documentation]]. Rather than construct a command line to pass into Python, Slicer3 directly calls an '''Execute''' procedure. It is assumed that the '''Execute''' function expects positional arguments first, and any optional arguments are passed in as keyword arguments. For instance, the GradientAnisotropicDiffusion.py module provides an '''Execute''':
| |
| − | | |
| − | def Execute ( inputVolume, outputVolume, conductance=1.0, timeStep=0.0625, iterations=1 ):
| |
| − | print "Executing Python Demo Application!"
| |
| − | Slicer = __import__ ( "Slicer" );
| |
| − | slicer = Slicer.Slicer()
| |
| − | in = slicer.MRMLScene.GetNodeByID ( inputVolume );
| |
| − | out = slicer.MRMLScene.GetNodeByID ( outputVolume );
| |
| − |
| |
| − | filter = slicer.vtkITKGradientAnisotropicDiffusionImageFilter.New()
| |
| − | filter.SetConductanceParameter ( conductance )
| |
| − | filter.SetTimeStep ( timeStep )
| |
| − | filter.SetNumberOfIterations ( iterations )
| |
| − | filter.SetInput ( in.GetImageData() )
| |
| − | filter.Update()
| |
| − | out.SetAndObserveImageData(filter.GetOutput())
| |
| − | return
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | The function first constructs a '''Slicer''' object by importing the Slicer module. The '''Slicer''' object is the main interface into Slicer3 as a whole. The first two arguments, '''inputVolume''' and '''outputVolume''' are not proper MRMLVolumes, and must be looked up using the '''Slicer''' object. The filter is constructed through the '''Slicer''' object, and the parameters are set. After the filter is updated, the output image is put using the '''SetAndObserveImageData''' method on the output volume.

| − | This module allows to run external Python code saved in a .py file on an image or surface (or both), and have the results loaded back in Slicer. It doesn't really do anything itself, but it's handy for:
| |
| − | * writing Python modules, since one can store the actual module code in a file without having to copy it to Slicer3-build/lib/Slicer3/Plugins
| |
| − | * writing quick one-shot filtering operations that are not elegible to become full-fledged modules
| |
| − | * experimenting with Python in Slicer.
