| − | == December 13, 2007 ==
| |
| − | * David Gobbi: Option to turn off modules for OR
| |
| − | * Steve Pieper: Needs refactoring so it will be as flexible as Slicer 2 (runtime). Slicer 3 is cMake based (pre-compilation). I would prefer run-time dynamic. This would allow distributing modules independent of the base.
| |
| − | * Louis Ibanez: The benefit would be a standard Slicer for everybody. How about testing?
| |
| − | * Peter Kazanzides: It's the user's responsibility to make it sure it was tested before going to OR
| |
| − | * David: and turn off the loading of modules at startup.
| |
| − | * Louis: Versioning?
| |
| − | * Stephen Aylward: It's useful to have this versioning, for ex. VTK/ITK.
| |
| − | * Steve P.: The nightly build should build the modules also, and test them together.
| |
| − | * Csaba Csoma: So we all agree that dynamic modules is a good thing. Question: what is module, what is basic functionality?
| |
| − | * Steve P: Base Features vs. Modules. Csaba's right, we should make for ex. Diffusion Imaging modular, because it's pretty specific.
| |
| − | * Noby Hata: There are classes that can go only to base, like tracker?
| |
| − | * Steve P: Theoretically we can make it generic enough. Should the concept of tracker be a base, or just the transform?
| |
| − | * Steve A: Can a module bring in any library?
| |
| − | * Steve P: Yes. The base can't depend on Matlab, but a module can.
| |
| − | * Steve P: Static modules are restrictive, because you can't extend for ex. for full VTK/ITK library if you have a limited one compiled in.
| |
| − | * Sebastien Barre: Start up time?
| |
| − | * Steve P: Might not be affected.
| |
| − | * Liver RF 2D point of view (see next section): the functionality is in VTK, needs work to be exposed by Slicer
| |
| − | * Steve P / Noby H.: Tracked view point (each slice or for the 3slice view)
| |
| − | * Steve A: Record pre-selected views and bring it up easily when needed
| |
| − | * Noby: make sure the base does not rely on any module
| |
| − | * (Non trivial case: Dynamic MRML node, dynamic based on representation in the space - geometry changes as you move it through the space)
| |
| − | * Peter: we use different size of cutters
| |
| − | * Steve P: that can be on module level
| |
| − | * David: how easy can a module use other modules
| |
| − | * Steve P: dependency can be handled. The library dependency build process should be sequenced.
| |
| − | * Csaba: make sure we talk about libraries, GUI is just a type of library/module
| |
| − | * Steve P: Load Data is generic enough to be a module?
| |
| − | * David: Not necessarily. A module can do it, so you don't necessarily had to have a generic one.
| |
| − | * Noby: How about invisible Modules or even Base elements?
| |
| − | * All: Yes, it's an important thing to do
| |
| − | * Steve P: recording / playback / logging of procedure sounds like base function
| |
| − | * Steve P: required by IGT: login - can go to the base
| |
