Slicer-version: 4.10.0
Hello,
I am trying to add a observer to monitor the number of slice views changes. But the right way was not found. Which node and event should be used ?
Slice views changes like this:

– to →

image848×403 5.99 KB

I want to trigger my own method after the event has occurred.

Here is the method of slice views changes:

layoutManager = slicer.app.layoutManager()
      customLayout = """
                <layout type="vertical">
                <item>
                <layout type="horizontal">
                  <item splitSize="300">
                  <view class="vtkMRMLSliceNode" singletontag="Red">
                    <property name="orientation" action="default">Axial</property>
                    <property name="viewlabel" action="default">R</property>

                  </view>

Thank you for your help!

You can add an observer to layoutManager.layoutLogic().GetLayoutNode() to get notified about layout changes.

Thank you so much for your support lassoan!
I used the following method(slicer.util.getNode("Layout").AddObserver(vtk.vtkCommand.ModifiedEvent, callbackFunc)) to achieve what I want. But I don’t know if there will be other problems.
