I am working on a module to generate a 2D Visualization of the Brain Connectome Network.
I am trying to understand all the 2D plot options in Slicer with Python. So my question is the following:
What are all the node classes that can be added in slicer.mrmlScene.AddNewNodeByClass( ? ) ?
Also, if I would like to plot a vtkSpiderPlot() in an existing window of Slicer, would that be possible? Until now I’ve only managed to plot it in a pop up window that uses the OpenGL Visualization ToolKit.
Currently line, scatter, and bar plots are available via the GUI. To show spider plots, you would need to do some Python scripting. I would recommend to show this plot first in a plain VTK render window. Once you have that working, then I can help with making that window show up in the view layout.
I have generated the spider plot in a plain VTK render window, which is the pop up window I was talking about before. To do so I used vtkRenderer(), vtkRenderWindow(), vtkRenderWindowInteractor().
So as I would like to make that window show up in Slicer you suggest me to use the view layout.
Should I look at the slicer.app.layoutManager() ? If so, could you help me understand how that should be implemented and what vtkMRML Node to use?
I think I am close. I just can’t access QVTKWidget or QVTKRenderWindowInteractor.
I am using 3D Slicer version 4.10.1-2019-01-16. with qt5.
Do you know how I can access those ?
I tried calling defining it like this :
qWidget = vtk.QVTKWidget()
But I get:
AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘QVTKWidget’
