2008 Winter ProjectWeek:SlicerCookbook

Return to 2008_Winter_Project_Week

Key Investigators

• BWH: Wendy Plesniak
• Kitware: Sebastien Barre

Objective

Provide light-weight guidelines and code snippets that streamline GUI development and promote consistent style. This is designed to replace development of text-heavy guidelines (which nobody will probably read).

Approach, Plan

Discuss approaches and content, Draft a presentation framework, begin developing content.

Progress

Jan 2008 Project Week

We discussed the design and implementation plan, and have decided on the following:

• GUI Style Guide and Cookbook will be an independent app
• Will be launchable from inside Slicer also

The toplevel window will contain:

• a widget selection panel with list of widgets
• a presentation panel themed by Slicer
• an information panel with style guidelines, human interface suggestions, coding suggestions, and links to resources
• and a C++ code panel that contains snippets that can be copied and adapted into Slicer3 modules.

Sebastien will provide the container, and Wendy will provide the contents.
