Home < Projects:ARRA:SlicerAM:Meeting20100921On Tuesday, 21st of September 2010 Wendy, Nicole, Steve and Daniel got together to look at the current Annotation module status.
- Performance problems with multiple vtkBiDimensionalWidgets (as an example, happens with all vtkWidgets) while rotating/zooming the 3D view
- Daniel wrote a test to place 5 vtkBiDimensionalWidgets isolated from 3D Slicer and DisplayableManagers - just pure VTK
- The performance of this test is much better than 3D Slicer but delays are still visible
- We took process samples on Mac OS X to find the source of these problems
- SlicerQT with 5 vtkBiDimensionalWidgets sampling:
- Plain VTK (TestAnnotationWidgetsStandalone) with 5 vtkBiDimensionalWidgets sampling:
- A major performance loss was identified when rendering the texts next to the widgets
- We deactivated the text display and the rendering performance in Slicer increased dramatically
- Possible solution: hide all texts when the 3D window is rotated etc.
- Daniel wrote a test to place 5 vtkBiDimensionalWidgets isolated from 3D Slicer and DisplayableManagers - just pure VTK
- Current status of Annotation module:
- Ruler, Bidimensional and Fiducials can be placed in 2D and 3D
- Synchronization with MRML and among the 2D/3D views work
- The ruler should show the dividers on a fixed scale according to millimeter or cm
- Sometimes the placement of fiducials causes funky behavior
- Reformated Axis or changed orientations of the SliceNodes cause problems
- Sometimes the measurement display of rulers is not correct (f.e. a strange "4 4" display - maybe the sprintf function causes problems?)
- Undo worked but redo crashed
- MRML Scene Load and Save should be checked
- Ruler, Bidimensional and Fiducials can be placed in 2D and 3D
- Next step: Hierarchy
- API from Nicole is available in the trunk
- We probably do not need a separate Fiducial (lite) module (TBD later)
- There will be an invisible top hierarchy in which new annotations are added without creating a hierarchy
- Then a new hierarchy can be added as a subset to each existing hierarchy
- As soon as the first hierarchy gets created, the invisible top-level hierarchy will be a new visible hierarchy on the same level of the created one
- It should be possible to pass annotation hierarchies or only one type of annotations inside a hierarchy to Node Selectors and CLI modules
- Maybe extend the data module to provide an annotation view of the MRML tree?
- BTW the data module crashed on drag and drop
- After hierarchy:
- Finish up property dialog
