Annotation Module in Slicer4
Key Investigators
- BWH: Nicole Aucoin
- UPenn: Daniel Haehn, Kilian Pohl
- Isomics, Inc.: Alex Yarmakovich
- Kitware: Will Schroeder
Objective
Improve usability of the Annotation module in Slicer4 through bug fixing and UI re-working.
Approach, Plan
- Fix text annotation issues (font, scale, positioning)
- Fix ruler text issues (font, scale)
- Redesign property editor
- Fix moving/dropping widgets
Progress
- Added a default hierarchy list node when adding annotaitons, so by default each type is grouped together. This makes it easier to select a list of fiducials from a node selector.
- used a mrml node attribute to record the class name of the annotation type used for each hierarchy (not enforced if drag and drop displayable nodes via the tree views)
- Had discussions on the hierarchy design to improve drag and drop
- Collected user feedback in a breakout session
- Made Fiducials transformable
- Activated PythonQt wrapping for the Annotation widgets: the ROI widget can now be used in Python modules
