How to copy one segment from a segmentation node to a different segmentation with code?

Support
1

I’m trying to copy a segment from one segmentation to another, but I don’t know how to do it automatically in my code. I know that we can drag and drop in the data module, but is there a way to do this with code?

2

A workaround could be to export all the segments of Segmentation1 as LabelMap and import it to Segmentation2, then delete all the undesired segments from Segmentation2

yes, that would work but I just wanted to know if I could avoid doing that and just move one segment.

Yes, you can copy/move segments between segmentations. You can track down how it is implemented in Slicer core and replicate that in your script.

Do you have an example of the script used to do this?

Thanks in advance.

I needed to figure this out myself - for anyone in the future that needs this:

destSeg = getNode("segmentDestination") #the vtkMRMLSegmentationNode you want the target in
sourceSeg = getNode("segmentSource") # the vtkMRMLSegmentationNode that it's coming from
segmentID = "yourDesiredSegID" #the ID of your segment
removeFromSource = False #whether you want to delete the segment from the source
destSeg.GetSegmentation().CopySegmentFromSegmentation(sourceSeg.GetSegmentation(),segmentID,removeFromSource)
