Hello!
I’m about to create a gui using python. I only need to display the module “models” and the mrml. Can I launch slicer in the background somehow?
I’ve seen the slicelet option but those are written within python interact or environment, right?
Thanks in advance!

You can create a Python scripted module as explained in [this Slicer programming tutorial](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Training#PerkLab.27s_Slicer_bootcamp_training_materials). In the Qt designer you will find the same widgets used in Data and Models module GUI.
