Slicer4: Annotation module - Priority List for December release

This list includes to-be-done features, open issues and other related things to do.

HIGH

1. 2D widget interaction
   • When using the lightbox view the Annotations do not get displayed properly yet
   • When switching slice orientation the Annotations do not get displayed properly yet
   • When widget is not displayed completely in an orientation but intersects with the specific slice, show the intersection as a dot
   • Sometimes after placement of fiducials funky behavior when switching to different widget
2. Annotation hierarchies [dependency: QTreeModel by Nicole]
   • GUI: Nice tree view with functionality to create/delete hierarchies, drag'n'drop annotations, view/edit/(un-)lock/delete annotations
   • Logic: include an invisible top-level hierarchy, create appropriate hierarchy nodes when annotations are created, properly delete MRML nodes + widgets
3. Property dialog to set text, line and point properties [dependency: #2]
   • GUI: Align the layout better
   • Logic: Update DisplayNode according to settings in dialog and together with hierarchies
4. Generate Report with option to select specific Annotations [dependency: #2]
5. Implement Save/Load MRML Scene with Annotations [dependency: #2, #3]
6. vtkTextWidget [dependency: VTK Widget Fiesta 5/6th November 2010]
   • Add option to attach text to a specific point in 2D/3D space and ability to configure the line
7. vtkRulerWidget [dependency: VTK Widget Fiesta 5/6th November 2010]
   • Show the dividers on a fixed scale according to millimeter or cm

MEDIUM

1. Add Screenshot and Description Annotations for a new Snapshot module
   • MRML: Introduce vtkMRMLAnnotationSnapshotNode then vtkMRMLAnnotationDescriptionNode and vtkMRMLAnnotationScreenshotNode to implement functionality
     • These will not be displayed in the 3D Scene or 2D viewer - only in the new Snapshot module or during loading of scenes as a browser
2. Add vtkMRMLAnnotationDicomNode to fetch a header from a loaded volume and store it inside the MRML tree
3. Use the new Widget API to place/interact with widgets [dependency: VTK Widget Fiesta 5/6th November 2010]

LOW

1. Include new Slicer mouse mode toolbox [dependency: Mouse mode toolbox by Wendy]
2. Get-together with Mike Halle to discuss AIM Annotation tools (IPAD, ClearCanvas plugin)
3. Replace click-counter by stack to set different mouse icons according to the placement/interaction state of widget
4. Generate more UML diagrams
