There has been more progress on SofaParameterNodeWrapper by RafaelPalomar · Pull Request #27 · Slicer/SlicerSOFA · GitHub . We could have a look at it together if time allows

3

I can also discuss some sofa experiments and maybe the MorphoDepot project.

4

If there’s time today. Just a look at the current iconset in dark/light, and your preferences for which other .png files in codebase (I’ve tabled them) should be reworked.

Meeting Notes

SlicerSOFA

  • Demo Review: @pieper demonstrated collision detection and response using an interactive probe controlled by a markup node.

  • Customization of vtkMRMLMarkupsLineNodes: Discussed potential customizations for vtkMRMLMarkupsLineNodes, such as options for endpoint shapes and support for additional units (e.g., force).

  • Pipeline Generation Prototype: @RafaelPalomar introduced a prototype for generating pipelines.

    • The discussion covered how the parameter node wrapper code interacts with VTK pipelines to map SOFA to MRML data structures, particularly when computations involve persistent VTK filter instances.
    • Current developments support simple 1-to-1 SOFA-to-MRML mappings. More complex mappings, which require a conversion pipeline, would need mechanisms to maintain the pipeline state.
    • Andras suggested separating variable mapping from declarations in the parameter node to improve readability. Rafael will review the design to identify possible solutions.

Slicer 5.8 Release

  • Considered a minor delay in the release timeline to manage other time commitments, with the goal of releasing before RSNA (targeting mid November).

Slicer Icon Update

  • Icon Design Guidelines: @wenples presented guidelines for icon design, followed by a review of priority icons to be added.
