Meeting Notes:
- picking
- place the fiducial on the plane at the center of rotation
- get rid of the manipulate icons in the mouse modes tool bar
- pause not working with the mouse modes (ruler), neither is cancel
- pushing changes to VTK
- check in to Slicer/VTK github
- Hierarchies
- create default fiducial hierarchy, default ruler hierarchy when add first one
- File formats
- need to be able to generate programatically, open in Excel, R, etc.
- use tab delimited, or comma delimited with quoted strings - comma
- display options as comments is breakable, make comments separate, make display options columns
- location information not in mrml scene file? will scene views work or will files get over written?
- if it's external file, it's not restored in scene views - it's bulk data
- inline storage? base 64 encoded
- associating annotations with models or volumes
- add the model or volume to the assoc hierarchy when detect that clicked on it to add an annotation - debugging on the Qt widgets list wrt IsA checks
