Developer Meetings/20130702

To discuss

• Release plans
  • Need to have a version/stable release for upcoming training events starting in September
  • Need time to test and update documentation
• Triage of the 4.3 release roadmap
  • What to do with 'unfunded' feature requests and issues? Suggestion is to assign them to None as a flag that these are good project for new developers to address.
• How to simplify the workflow for contributing extensions. Goal: That a biomedical engineer can contribute an extension without hand holding.
  • Documentation to warn against adding new libraries and listing of ones that are available.
  • One click upload
• #3200: Option to make non-interpolated views as default
  • Sorry I won't make the hangout. Viewing individual pixels is generally useful for technical work, such as medical physics. It is a common feature in commercial programs, and we eventually will want in Slicer, but not terribly urgent. -Greg
  • It is available on a per volume level in the volume module and on a per volume and viewer level in the Slice viewers/3D viewers.

different interpolation options in slice and 3D viewers

Turn off interpolation attribute of the volume using the slice view controller

• Why does this work to get at displayable managers in python:

lm = slicer.app.layoutManager()
td = lm.threeDWidget(0)
ms = td.getDisplayableManagers()

• but not this:

slicer.vtkMRMLAnnotationFiducialDisplayableManager()

• Answer: we need an __initi.py__ with from MRMLDisplayableManagerPython import * similar to Base/Python/mrml.py
• Also, why are the public methods in the superclass vtkMRMLAnnotationDisplayableManager not available when getting a vtkMRMLAnnotationFiducialDisplayableManager?

lm = slicer.app.layoutManager()
td = lm.threeDWidget(0)
ms = td.getDisplayableManagers()
afdm = ms.GetItemAsObject(4)
