Objective

coming soon...

This document will be a resource for Slicer developers who want to create module interfaces that are understandable, and usable, and that conform to Slicer's general appearance and behavior conventions. The document will also provide some downloadable elements (like icon blanks, "watermark" logo blanks, shell scripts to generate image resources, etc.) as a convenience for developers.

Approach, Plan

The content of these guidelines is influenced by other usability efforts, including the wyoGuide, GNOME's HIG2.0, Apple's Human Interface Guidelines, and the Java Look and Feel Guidelines.

Develop:

  • recommendations for using interface elements effectively and consistently across the application,
  • general principles for crafting interfaces that:
    • are easy to learn (for beginners especially)
    • are easy to use (for beginners, intermediate and expert users alike) and
    • provide a consistent user experience application-wide.

Note: these guidelines will not be strictly enforced. Developers can deviate from them when they don't fit the application.

Progress

coming soon...
