''Extensions'' which can be added to the basic Slicer package in order to add functionality. The slicer community maintains a website to support the finding, download and installing Extensions for 3D Slicer 4. Access to this website is integral to Slicer 4 and facilitated by the Extensions Manager functionality built into the distributed program. Please see [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Developers/Tutorials/ExtensionWriting|here]] for information for software developers on how to add your extension to this website.

==Slicer Extensions Catalog==
  
−
* Slicer Extensions are the "on-ramp" to the Slicer "highway". slicer Extensions provide a voluntary mechanism for anybody, including third parties, to extend the functionality of 3d Slicer.
+
The download site is referred to as the '''Slicer Extensions Catalog'''. The Catalog classifies extensions into three levels of compliance:
−
* While the '''Slicer license''' is suggested for extensions, it is '''not required'''. Please review the documentation of the extension carefully as some extensions might have a "non-Slicer" license.
+
*Category 1: Fully compliant Slicer Extensions: Slicer license, open source, maintained.
−
* For a subset of extensions, you can use the extension wizard in Slicer to find their webpages and to install/uninstall individual extensions.  
+
*Category 2: open source, contact exists.
−
* In case of problems with extensions, please talk directly to the developers of the extensions.
+
*Category 3: all other extensions (work in progress, beta, closed source etc).
−
* Information for developers can be found [[Slicer4:Extensions|here]]. See [[Module:EndUserDocumentationTemplate-4.0|here]] for the end-user documentation template.
 
−
* In Slicer 4, all new modules will begin as "Immature Extensions". They will progress to the status of "Mature Extensions", when they meet all the criteria listed below. In order to become part of the main Slicer distribution a discussion with the Slicer core team will have to be initiated after reaching the mature extension status. While extensions can be made available under many licenses, the main Slicer distribution will contain ONLY code under the slicer license, with no known IP liabilities.

==Collections==
+
See [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/SlicerApplication/ExtensionManagerName|here]] for more information about extension types and policies.
−
Collections are groups of extensions that can be downloaded in a single operation. You can think of them as the equivalent to a playlist.

Introduction

Extensions which can be added to the basic Slicer package in order to add functionality. The slicer community maintains a website to support the finding, download and installing Extensions for 3D Slicer 4. Access to this website is integral to Slicer 4 and facilitated by the Extensions Manager functionality built into the distributed program. Please see here for information for software developers on how to add your extension to this website.

Slicer Extensions Catalog

The download site is referred to as the Slicer Extensions Catalog. The Catalog classifies extensions into three levels of compliance:

  • Category 1: Fully compliant Slicer Extensions: Slicer license, open source, maintained.
  • Category 2: open source, contact exists.
  • Category 3: all other extensions (work in progress, beta, closed source etc).

See here for more information about extension types and policies.
