I am curious about how the UI for existing plugins in Slicer is designed, specifically how the UI in the Segment Editor plugin is structured. For example, how is the thresholding interface (or similar new sub-interfaces) designed and implemented? Also, where exactly are these UI files stored in the source code?
I would like to review the source code for these UI interfaces in order to help me design the UI for my own plugin. Could you kindly guide me to the specific locations of these UI files within the Slicer source code?
thanks for your kind help!
I want to understand more about how the UI in 3D Slicer works in detail. Specifically, I’d like to know how the “apply” button functions, how sample data import is implemented in Python code, and how these components are connected. Are there efficient ways to help me better understand the purpose and usage of these functions?
My supervisor has asked me to implement a very simple plugin. The UI consists of a button to import sample data, a label to display the threshold value, a slider to adjust the threshold, and an “apply” button. Once the sample data is imported, it should automatically set a threshold suitable for the skull (using the first CT scan of the brain as an example). Clicking the “apply” button should display the corresponding model in the four-pane view.
My current idea is to extract the threshold processing code from the Segment Editor module and integrate it into my new plugin. However, this seems challenging since the Segment Editor is a complete and complex module. I’m having trouble identifying which parts of the code I can reuse and how to integrate them into a new plugin generated with Extension Wizard. My plugin is written in Python.
If anyone could provide some guidance, I would greatly appreciate it. I’m new to Slicer and want to understand its functionality better by creating my own plugin. I’d be thankful for any help or insights you can share.
I suggest you start by going through the developer tutorials, and use the Extension Wizard to make a sample module. It will give you a template with an Apply button and a place where you can put in custom image processing logic.
