Hi all, I have been using Slicer for some basic tasks in the past and just now have started developing my own module. My concept was to simplify the workflow for a clinician to annotate several images. The module should do the communication with an XNAT server to pull the images and push the annota…

Here seems to be a related issue with the Markups module: [image] Would it be possible to have more then one module panel? Feature requests Actually, while this popups up the module, the module itself is not functional. I am trying particularly with the Markups module, and…

slicer.qSlicerSimpleMarkupsWidget() is a reusable widget for managing markup control points. For example, it is used in Fiducial registration wizard module of SlicerIGT extension. [image] You can also create simple custom widget for landmarking, such as in OrthodonticAnalysis extension: [image] …

Thank you a lot, Andras. These are very useful recommendations! :slight_smile: Do you also have an advice or a pointer towards how to make one’s widget available to be added to other modules? What has to be done to create an actual widget, not just a full module, from the MyModuleWidget() class?

[image] drobny: Do you also have an advice or a pointer towards how to make one’s widget available to be added to other modules? You can import the widget in a separate class (if you work in Python you can put it into a separate file, but it may also stay in the single module .py file) and im…

I wanted to create two widgets in my module, one widget with the main functionality and the second widget that modifies the markup module GUI (to only show the control points table) and attaches the first widget to the markup layout. This is a hack to go around re-implementing the markup control poi…

Only the <ModuleName>Widget class is special in the sense that Slicer discovers and instantiates that automatically. You can create all other widgets as regular Python classes and instantiate them as usual. If you create a new widget MyCustomWidget then you can access it from another module like thi…

Ok, understood. I think it threw me off, that it doesn’t seem possible to have multiple widget classes using ScriptedLoadableModuleWidget in the same module. It took me a while to identify the problem (though I still don’t understand why it behaves like this) and to find the workaround going back t…

You can add any number of widgets from .ui files using loadUI - see documentation and example here .

When creating two widget classes (in the same module file) as in the wizard demo file using class MyModuleWidget(ScriptedLoadableModuleWidget, VTKObservationMixin):..., I am not able to add both widgets to the module. Both widgets would be expected to be in a accordingly named module. Thus, follo…

You have only one module widget, i.e., the widget that is shown in the left panel when you switch to the module. But you can create many widgets in Qt designer, save each in a ui file, and at runtime instantiate the widgets from the ui files and add them to the module widget. Creating reusable widg…
