User experience design for Slicer flexible layouts -- DRAFT2
Back to Flexible Layouts Overview
Same functionality for both users and developers
- Developers may want to specify a default layout for their module, which includes viewers and multiple UIs.
- End-Users may want to select from a suite of default specialized layouts OR define their own custom layout.
- Both users and developers should be able to choose from among the SAME options.
- Users and developers will use different tools, and have different UXP.
- Assume that developers will use Qt Designer.
- Users will use a Slicer "custom layout" interface.
- Options include:
- Set up an initial layout grid
- Split panes in grid horizontally
- Split panes in grid vertically
- Delete panes in grid
- Add tabs to panes in grid
- Assign views to panes in grid
- Assign guis to panes in grid
Selecting an intial grid
In a custom layout tool, a user first selects the number of rows and columns they want to begin with by either
- clicking and dragging on a template or
- entering parameters into entry widgets
Splitting a "pane" in the grid
Deleting a "pane" in the grid
Adding tabs to a "pane" in the grid
Assigning Content to a "pane" in the grid
