Objective
Develop scripting patterns for implementing workflows in slicer4 to port slicer3 functionality and streamline implementation of new functionality.
Approach, Plan
- Review initial experiences with PythonQt in slicer4
- Editor and SWidgets
- TubeTK-based Interactive PDF Segmenter
- Endoscopy
- Consider general architecture for creating module GUIs (scripted widgets)
- allow adaptive re-use of widgets in different modules such as:
- embed subset of painting tools inside interactive segmenters
- embed small model maker interface in segmentation tools
- embed some annotation (e.g. fiducial) for landmarking in registration
- embed CLI interfaces in workflow wizards
- define inheritance for PythonQt implementations to provide consistency across module GUI implementaitons
- allow adaptive re-use of widgets in different modules such as:
- Consider use cases for (scripted) slicer modules - can one implementation pattern cover all use cases?
- embed GUI in slicer interface (parent is slicer module panel)
- run as part of a workflow (parent is one step of workflow)
- run GUI stand-alone (module's widget is top level window)
- run without GUI (parameters passed on command line CLI-style)
Progress
Slicer4 developer beta supports PythonQt scripted modules.
