  UXP: specifiying initial layout grid

• 

  UXP: splitting a pane

• 

  UXP: deleting a pane

• 

  UXP: assigning content to a pane

Key Investigators

• GE: Jim Miller
• BWH/Isomics: Steve Pieper
• BWH: Wendy Plesniak
• Kitware: Sebastien Barre (the multi-camera / multi-3D view code in the "cameraviewhell" branch has been ported to 3.4 and is being tested).

Objective

• Continue implementing infrastructure and interface for generating custom layouts in Slicer3

Approach, Plan

• Representation and Logic are currently being implemented; finish this implementation and begin testing.
• Add functionality to read/write XML specification
• Integrate with exiting vtkMRMLLayoutNode
• Begin work on building GUI to support UXP design

Progress

• User Experience Design

NOTES:

• Sebastien has been allowing creating multiple vtkMRMLViewerWidget or vtkMRMLCameraNode in the scenes
  • previously they were singletons
  • hard to patch underlying logic to take singleton status out.
  • sebastien made new branch off of 3.4 with his changes
  • found some bugs in trunk also (e.g. if close scene 3 or 4 times, can't exit slicer)
• He is testing now with multiple cameras and views
• Able to save, load, fiducials work ok
• will give Ron his code to test soon
• will patch 3.4 or put in 3.5 trunk after testing/fixing.
• In current implementation, new 3D views will populate tabbed 3D views...
• When populating custom layout, will have to count number of vtkMRMLViewerNodes and assign to panes

• How will this work in use: how to configure a node's display parameters for each defined view on the scene?
• Node's display params can consist of kwd/val pairs where kwd is the viewerID, value is the param for that viewer.
• How to present this through the GUI in an intuitive way? Will think about this.
