CMake is a cross platform build tool that converts simple scripts called CMake list files into a set of files used by the native development environment to build (i.e., compile and link) the project. It does this across all combinations of hardware, operating system and compilers (each combination is called a ''platform'') that are used in the NAMIC environment. CMake is the tool that makes it posssible for the NA-MIC Kit to run across multiple computer operating systems. CMake supports several advanced features including system inspection, shared library versioning, and parallel building of files. CMake helps integrate software development into the NAMIC quality process via the related CTest tool.
 
 
 
In Year 2, support for several new platforms was added including Microsoft Visual Studio 8, 64-bit support for Windows, and MinGW. Sophisiticated support for programmable build targets was also added, as well as integration with CPack and CTest. Probably the biggest accomplishment related to CMake was the selection of CMake as the build tool for KDE, the Linux desktop windows environment. (KDE is claimed to be the world's largest open source software project.) This is a clear validation that the software process used by NA-MIC is world-class.

Objective: To provide the infrastructure necessary to represent, manage, and transform between the variety of coordinate frames used in medical imaging.


Progress: A new image class, itk::OrientedImage, has been developed and added to ITK. This image class caches the image direction cosines. ITK's IO mechanisms have been updated to read and write orientation information. Filters which implictly manipulate orientation (flip, resample, etc.) have been modified to explictly modify the cached image orientation.
