Slicer3:Style

A few things to keep in mind:

• All C++ classes must conform to the style conventions of their parent classes.
  • In most cases for Slicer Base, this means following VTK coding conventions including naming, indentation, and other issues discussed at the VTK Coding Standards page.
  • For command line modules implemented in ITK, follow the conventions defined in Insight/Documentation/Style.pdf from the ITK distribution.
  • Libraries (such as Teem, zlib, etc) may follow their own coding styles, and be wrapped with in classes with the appropriate styles.

Highlights of the policies:

• avoid acronyms in class and method names
• use 2 spaces for indentation, not tabs
• think carefully about the reusability of your class hierarcies
• comment your code extensively

Code that will be included in slicer must use CMake for cross platform building.

Code is released under the slicer license.

All NA-MIC funded software, data, documentation, and other materials should include the NIH Roadmap acknowledgement.
