Slicer4:SceneViewsModule

Return to Slicer 4 projects

Introduction

The Scene Views module allows a user to capture a screen snapshot to save with the scene view.

In Slicer4, we've separated the concept of the scene view (the mrml scene at a particular point in time, showing/hiding various data) and screen snapshots (an image of the current interface, saved in .png or .jpg etc format). Scene views have a scene snapshot associated with them to provide a visual cue as to what the scene view contains. Screen snapshots now have storage nodes associated with them so that they are saved to disk with the MRML scene.

First implementation

Implemented in Slicer 4 circa Jan 2011
