Issue with Margin Effect margin value sign

Development

Hello,

I have a weird issue with the margin effect in the Segmentation module. The mask seems to grow when I try to shrink it. I apologize in advance if there might be a simple oversight.

Code:

slicer.app.processEvents()
segmentEditorWidget.setActiveEffectByName(“Margin”)
effect = segmentEditorWidget.activeEffect()
effect.setParameter(“Operation”, “Shrink”)
effect.setParameter(“MarginSize”, “1”)
effect.self().onApply()

After:

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Sharada

Never mind, I had to pass in -1 instead of 1 for margin size. It seems a little strange to do when the operation is already specified as shrink.

There is no such parameter of the Margin Effect as Operation or MarginSize. The list of parameter names are described in the [Developer documentation]) Segment editor — 3D Slicer documentation).

Okay, makes perfect sense what I was doing wrong now. Thank you!
