Home < Documentation < 4.2 < Developers < OpenIGTLinkIFThis page provides developer's information for 3D Slicer's OpenIGTLink IF module.
Contents
Create external OpenIGTLink server/client software
With the OpenIGTLink IF module, you can exchange various types of data (e.g. linear transforms and images) between 3D Slicer and external software over the local area network. We provide OpenIGTLink Library to support OpenIGTLink-compatible software. Please refer the Tutorial.
Control OpenIGTLink IF from Python module
You can use the OpenIGTLink IF module's features from 3D Slicer's Python interface. The features can be called from both Slicer Python Interactor (Python console) and Python module.
Requirements
- 3D Slicer 4.2 nightly build (11/10/2012 or later) available at http://slicer.org/ (4.2.0 release version has an issue in initialization of the OpenIGTLinkIF module. If you use this version, you need to open the OpenIGTLinkIF module, before using the Python interface)
- OpenIGTLink Simulators available in NA-MIC wiki or the OpenIGTLink Library
