Summer Project Week Breakout Session: Slicer4 Module Usability

9am-11am, Tuesday June 21, 2011, Star room.


Attendees:

All Slicer4 developers.

Reference Material:

Preliminary Agenda:

Purpose: Review of existing slicer4 functionality and user interface with an eye towards creating a consistent and pleasant user experience with a logical grouping of functions to accomplish standard tasks.

  • Review of features and next steps with the idea that developers and users can vote on priorities for development effort
    • Main application GUI: compare Slicer 3 and Slicer 4
      • Reorganizing panels above both the slice viewers and 3d viewers for consistent look and feel.
    • Review keybindings and mouse behavior
      • Compare Slicer 3 and Slicer 4
      • Identify inconsistencies
    • Current List of Core modules
      • Annotation Module (xx)
      • Color Module (xx)
      • Data Module (xx)
      • Interactive Editor (Steve Pieper)
      • Sceneviews (xx)
      • Slice Controls Module: Should present controls for: Slice viewers, compare viewers, 3D viewers: rename to Layout controler?
      • Slicer Welcome Module: update?
      • Volume Rendering Module: I/O should have same user experience as I/O in Slice viewers
      • Volumes Module (xx)
      • Transforms Module (xx)
  • Infrastructure discussions
    • instrumenting dimensions for sliders, seeds etc.: Slicer users have data with a wide range of dimensions. Mouse ** Remote IO options (save/restore of slicer data and scenes via DICOM, Midas, wiki...): Use a zip ball with a Dicom header and some thumbnails?
    • Performance enhancements/bottlenecks
    • Documentation
    • Enhancements to module functionality
      • command line modules (slicer execution model)
      • extensions
      • python scripting
    • Embedding slicer4 packages in standard python interpreter
    • Support for new datatypes?
      • Icon associated with each datatype
      • I/O registration in qSlicer[Core]IOManager
      • Official module for each node type "Edit properties..." (current hack)

DTI needs different defaults than human DTI, for instance.

    • web/mobile deployment options?
    • other ideas or requests?

General Slicer4 TODO items for discussion among developers

  • Porting remaining SWidgets (Crosshairs, Model/Slice Intersections, Reformat Widget...)
  • Removing slicer3 legacy code from slicer4 repository
  • What modules from the core should become extensions?
