Hi friends, I believe I’ve finished the list of core icons and covered the set of PNG files used as icons in slicer’s codebase… may have missed a few basic UI messaging concepts like ‘OK’ , ‘Done’, etc. --So if there’s time today I’d like to ask you for a list of what Slicer users are used to seeing as confirming or alerting messages so I can add them in.

I think design guidelines are all set, and basic workflow steps for designing new icons are sketched in too. Last step for me is to strip out Inkscape crud from the svg files, which I’m doing now.

If there’s time today, two big-blob html pages (one for each theme) are in github, can be downloaded and viewed locally for your comments and tweak suggestions. The links are:

2. At 24x24 pixel resolution, stroke width should be 1dp = 1px for pixel-perfect rendering at resolution multiples of 24. Most of 3D Slicer's icons are designed at 200% scale, at 48x48 pixel resolution, with 1dp=2px.

3. Use simple stroked elements without fill where possible. Stroke caps and corners can be sharp or rounded with r = dp/2.

Hi

I would like to show the Revolve tool for DynamicModeler and I also have a new module for BoneReconstructionPlanner I’d like to show

BerDom.Ing · January 7, 2025, 3:48pm

I would like to present the advancements made on the web front end of the Slicer Telemetry.

BerDom.Ing · January 14, 2025, 12:51am

Could you review of the following pull requests?

Meeting Notes

New Icons

Core Icon Set Completion: @wenples finalized the core icon list and reviewed all PNG files used as icons in Slicer’s codebase.
Icon Previews:
- Light Theme Icons
- Dark Theme Icons
  - ViewerConfigurationV2 is the preferred version.
IHE Radiology Icon Review:
- We will compare the proposed icon with the one suggested in the IHE Radiology Technical Framework.

Dynamic Modeler

Revolve Tool Presentation:
- @mau_igna_06 presented the new Revolve Tool.
- The tool currently supports revolutions based on a single fiducial, straight line, plane, and angle markups.

Add Magnets to Model

New Tool for 3D-Printed Fixation Points:
- @mau_igna_06 introduced a tool for splitting a model and adding cylinders as fixation points for 3D-printed models that can open/close.
- Using a curved surface (e.g., Bézier surface) may improve model stability.
- The concept draws inspiration from Materialise’s Cut 3D Models.

Slicer Telemetry

Latest Developments:
- @BerDom.Ing demonstrated new dynamic plots for statistics.
- Related discussion: SlicerTelemetry PR #1.
Pending Reviews by @jcfr:
- Front-end: PR #1
- Server-side: Slicer Telemetry Server
Web Handle for Statistics:
- Discussed the best domain for hosting telemetry statistics. stats.slicer.org was suggested.

Slicer 5.8

Retargeted to Slicer 5.9:
- Support for IO of sequence vector images: Issue #7185.
- Improvements to color table node format: Issue #7593.
- Terminologies module enhancements: Issue #6975.
Closed Issues Due to Missing Information:
- vtkMRMLMarkupsClosedCurveNode::FitSurfaceProjectWarp crash: Issue #7890.
Orphan Branches:
- Should we delete?: Branch: add_transform_plugin.
