Python Scripting
How to save an image/volume using python ?
The module slicer.util
provides methods allowing to save either a node or an entire scene:
- saveNode
- saveScene
For more details see:
- https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/blob/master/Base/Python/slicer/util.py#L229-267

How to assign a volume to a Slice view ?
Assuming the MRHead
sample data has been loaded, you could do the following:
red_logic = slicer.app.layoutManager().sliceWidget("Red").sliceLogic() red_cn = red_logic.GetSliceCompositeNode() red_logic.GetSliceCompositeNode().SetBackgroundVolumeID(slicer.util.getNode('MRHead').GetID())

How to access vtkRenderer in Slicer 3D view ?
renderer = slicer.app.layoutManager().threeDWidget(0).threeDView().renderWindow().GetRenderers().GetFirstRenderer()
Should I used 'old style' or 'new style' python classes in my scripted module
When python classes have no superclass specified they are 'old style' as described here [1].
In general it doesn't matter for the classes in a scripted module, since they won't be subclassed either old or new style should be the same.
For other python code in slicer where you might be subclassing, it's better to use new style classes. See the class hierarchies in the EditorLib and the DICOMLib for examples.
How to harden a transform ?
>>> n = getNode('Bone') >>> logic = slicer.vtkSlicerTransformLogic() >>> logic.hardenTransform(n)

Where can I find example scripts?
Have a look at Documentation/Nightly/ScriptRepository.
