Summer Project Week Breakout Session: Slicer4 Module Usability
9am-11am, Tuesday June 21, 2011, Star room.
Attendees:
All Slicer4 developers.
Reference Material:
Preliminary Agenda:
- Step by step review of existing slicer4 functionality and user interface with an eye towards creating a consistent and pleasant user experience with a logical grouping of functions to accomplish standard tasks.
- Review of features and next steps with the idea that developers and users can vote on priorities for development effort
- Main application GUI
- Keybindings, mouse behavior: compare Slicer 3 and Slicer 4
- List of Core modules
- Annotation Module (xx)
- Color Module (xx)
- Data Module (xx)
- Interactive Editor (Steve Pieper)
- Sceneviews (xx)
- Slice Controlls Module (x)
- Slicer Welcome Module (xx)
- Volume Rendering Module (xx)
- Volumes Module (xx)
- Transforms Module (xx)
- Infrastructure discussions
- Remote IO options (save/restore of slicer data and scenes via DICOM, Midas, wiki...): Use a zip ball with a Dicom header and some thumbnails?
- Performance enhancements/bottlenecks
- Documentation
- Enhancements to module functionality
- command line modules (slicer execution model)
- extensions
- python scripting
- Embedding slicer4 packages in standard python interpreter
- Support for new datatypes?
- Icon associated with each datatype
- I/O registration in qSlicer[Core]IOManager
- Official module for each node type "Edit properties..." (current hack)
- instrumenting dimensions for sliders, seeds etc.: Slicer users have data with a wide range of dimensions. Mouse DTI needs different defaults than human DTI, for instance.
- web/mobile deployment options?
- other ideas or requests?
General Slicer4 TODO items for discussion among developers
- Porting remaining SWidgets (Crosshairs, Model/Slice Intersections, Reformat Widget...)
- Removing slicer3 legacy code from slicer4 repository
- What modules from the core should become extensions?
