Documentation/Nightly/Developers/Slice Orientation Presets

Overview

Slicer provides an API to manage slice orientation presets.

By default, three slice orientation presets representing the anatomical coordinate system are available in Slicer: Axial, Coronal and Sagittal.

Under the hood

Where are default presets defined ?

Each time vtkMRMLApplicationLogic::SetMRMLScene is invoked, method AddDefaultSliceOrientationPresets(vtkMRMLScene *scene) is called.

Then, method AddDefaultSliceOrientationPresets(vtkMRMLScene *scene) ends up adding a default vtkMRMLSliceNode that will be used a template each time vtkMRMLScene::CreateNodeByClass(const char* className).
