Feedback from Ron 08/24/11

in general: Ron is pleased with the top-level things
text display in viewers does not work for Ron
- problem annotations are obstructing the images: this should NOT be the case
- fonts ugly
- text gets in the way of things you want to see
- different direction needed: show information in left bottom corner
  - two kinds of information
    - software wants to show information (push)
    - user requests information (pull)
  - in viewers: minimal information
  - in bottom left corner of Slicer GUI: medium details
  - somewhere else: full details
  - cdash example: way of not to do it -> important information is covered by annotations
  - ohloh example: good example -> first minimal, then under cursor more details when probing
    - should be the way to go for the bottom left of Slicer GUI
- possible solutions: we assign names (F1,F2,F3 for Fiducials, M1,M2,M3 for measurements, R1,R2... B1,B2) and descriptions
  - name appears in viewers
  - description in bottom lower left
    - on roll-over in viewers, show description in bottom left: display only
  - in annotation module: full details
get rid of text annotation
get rid of bidimensional annotation
just three types: fiducials, measurements (ruler), ROIs
- ROI needs a name in the future: requires infrastructure change -> in the future
for RSNA: name+description in bottom lower left, anything else should be deferred
possible problem: mouse over event on vtk widgets might not be easily realizable

ruler: ticks only in 2D but centimeters
handles for all annotations zooming behavior: should be like Slicer3
sliders in fiducial properties jumps weird: should have dynamic range or 0..20 for the beginning
property links between elements of widgets
size presets: medium is actual size, small and large presets
hotspots for rulers: new icons on wendy's todo list

second eye should be removed in tree view
view transform: should be cancel
- add a key (maybe ctrl) to have it pause mode
remove create panel in the annotation module and move toolbar there
take out advanced panel
screenshot goes into toolbar
in general if it does not work, take it out of RSNA (except spot where it's critical)
