Hi everyone,
I am new to Slicer and would like to understand how Jupyter can be used to control Slicer. Specifically:
1. Does using Jupyter mean that I can debug and trace the execution of different modules within Slicer, such as following specific processes step by step?
2. Additionally, if I want to create my own module and run it through Jupyter, is that possible?
I am particularly interested in the first question, as I currently have no idea how to effectively use Jupyter for my research. For context, I have already gone through the tutorials and run some example scripts, but I would appreciate more detailed guidance.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best wishes.

You still debug and trace execution of different modules within Slicer using a debugger. For Python scripted modules, you can use the [DebuggingTools extension](https://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developer_guide/debugging/python.html).

You can run your code either in Jupyter or by [creating a new Slicer module](https://github.com/Slicer/SlicerProgrammingTutorial).
I find Jupyter most useful for prototyping algorithms. If I get something that is useful and I want to share it with users then I put the algorithm into a new Python scripted Slicer module.
