Home < Slicer3:StyleA 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. This means using the VTK two-space indent style (even if you don't like it!).
- 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.
