Project Description
Objective
- Understand how the rendering is done in a stand alone tool (3DMeshMetric) that creates color-coded table for vtk files, in order to be able to update the stand alone tool to be part of the Slicer's extensions.
Approach, Plan
- Work in progress
Progress
- Discussion on Tuesday morning:
- looked at a vtk model with scalar overlay in Population Viewer and Slicer
- defining color mappings via point scalar value and an RGB
- Population Viewer uses an xml file format to save
- Slicer doesn't have a prodecural color node storage node
- identified some issues in Slicer:
- missing a red through green to blue continuous color table
- in the Models module, resetting the color table and active scalar is buggy
- in the Colors module, range is not updated to the scalar bar
- Medium term Slicer to do list:
- color transfer function gui element in the Colors module
- procedural color node storage node
- support csv and xml?
- Bug fixes in Slicer
- Enhancements to Slicer
- To do:
- investigate the volume rendering module color transfer widget and volume properties node and storage node and see how they can be used with the procedural color nodes
