Tracker Daemon

Purpose

Tracker Daemon is created to communicate between Slicer 3 and IGSTK through socket connection. For now, a program built on top of IGSTK can send tracking data to Slicer 3, which then updates the locator and related images accordingly. In the future, Tracker Daemon will be used to receive realtime images.

Recipe

1) Rerun CMake in the VTK that you used for building IGSTK

   and turn "VTK_USE_PARALLEL" ON. Then compile VTK (no need
   to make a clean build, it will just build the vtkParallel
   library).

2) Put the igstkTracker.cxx file from the NAMIC sandbox

   directory

NAMICSandBox/trunk/IGSTK-Slicer-IntegrationViaSockets/IGSTKAdaptor

   into the IGSTK/Source directory. (replacing the existing one).

   Rerun CMake on IGSTK, then build IGSTK

3) Configure the directory

NAMICSandBox/trunk/IGSTK-Slicer-IntegrationViaSockets

    with CMake, provide in IGSTK_DIR the directory where
    you build IGSTK, and provide ITK_DIR and VTK_DIR as
    the directories that you used for building IGSTK.

    They don't have to be the same that you used for
    building Slicer.
