Port of 3D Slicer to Qt JulienFinet Kitware Inc. Jan. 05th 2010 Updated May 14th 2010 for Slicer 3.6
Background • 3D Slicer version 3.x use KWWidgets • VTK-style interface to Tk • 3D Slicer 1.x, 2.x used Tk directly • Qt • Embedded Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, Linux/X11, Windows CE/Mobile, Symbian, Maemo • Commercial/LGPL • 600+ classes • Tens of thousands of applications • 15+ millions of users • NIH Supplement to help with port • 9/17/2009 - 9/16/2011
Qt – How to get Qt • Required version: Qt 4.6 • Building Slicer with Qt • http://wiki.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Slicer3:Developers:Projects:QtSlicer/Tutorials/CompileWithQt • Links: • Doc: http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6/index.html • Tutorials: http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6/tutorials.html
Qt in Slicer • Events with KWWidgets • Fire event • Connect • Process void vtkSlicerNodeSelectorWidget::ProcessCommand(char *selectedID) { … this->InvokeEvent(vtkSlicerNodeSelectorWidget::NodeSelectedEvent, NULL); … } vtkSlicerNodeSelectorWidget.cxx void vtkSlicerCamerasGUI::AddGUIObservers() { … this->ViewSelectorWidget->AddObserver( vtkSlicerNodeSelectorWidget::NodeSelectedEvent, (vtkCommand *)this->GUICallbackCommand ); … } vtkSlicerCamerasGUI.cxx void vtkSlicerCamerasGUI::ProcessGUIEvents( vtkObject *caller, unsigned long event, void *callData ) { if (vtkSlicerNodeSelectorWidget::SafeDownCast(caller)) { if (event == vtkSlicerNodeSelectorWidget::NodeSelectedEvent) { … } vtkSlicerCamerasGUI.cxx
Qt in Slicer • Events with Qt • Fire event • Connect • Process void qMRMLNodeSelector::nodeIdSelected(int index) { … emit currentNodeChanged(d->MRMLCurrentNode); } qMRMLNodeSelector.cxx void qSlicerCamerasModuleWidget::setup() { … connect(d->ViewNodeSelector, SIGNAL(currentNodeChanged(vtkMRMLNode*)), this, SLOT(onCurrentViewNodeChanged(vtkMRMLNode*))); … } qSlicerCamerasModuleWidget.cxx void qSlicerCamerasModuleWidget::onCurrentViewNodeChanged(vtkMRMLNode* mrmlNode) { vtkMRMLViewNode* currentViewNode = vtkMRMLViewNode::SafeDownCast(mrmlNode); … } qSlicerCamerasModuleWidget.cxx
Qt and VTK • qVTKConnect() • Based on VTK/GUISupport/Qt/vtkEventQtSlotConnect // qVTK includes #include <qVTKObject.h> … class QMRML_WIDGETS_EXPORT qMRMLNodeSelector : public qCTKAddRemoveComboBox { Q_OBJECT QVTK_OBJECT public: … qMRMLNodeSelector.h QVTK_OBJECT adds the function qvtkConnect() void qMRMLNodeSelector::addNode(vtkMRMLNode* mrmlNode) { … this->qvtkConnect(mrmlNode, vtkCommand::ModifiedEvent, this, SLOT(onMRMLNodeModified(vtkObject*, void*))); … } qMRMLNodeSelector.cxx
Porting Slicer to Qt • Create Qt/KWW co-existence layer (done!) • Prototype a few modules (done!) • Create an architecture for Qt based modules (in process) • Train developers (first session at January 2010 Project Week) • Port modules (ongoing through 2010…) • Turn off KWW (by end of 2010?) • Continual Improvement (through end of supplement and beyond…)
Porting Slicer to Qt Executable: SlicerQT • Slicer: Qt only Executable: Slicer3 • Slicer: KWWidgets + Qt
Modules • Core Modules: Slicer3/Base/QTCoreModules • Transforms qSlicerTransformsModule • … • Loadable Modules: Slicer3/QTModules • TractographyFiducialSeedinglibqSlicerTractographyFiducialSeedingModule.so • Volumes libqSlicerVolumesModule.so • … • CLI Modules: Slicer3/Applications/CLI • …
Plugin Mechanism • Previously: itksys::DynamicLoader(dlopen) • Now: Use the QT Plugins framework … class Q_SLICER_QTMODULES_VOLUMES_EXPORT qSlicerVolumesModule : public qSlicerAbstractLoadableModule { Q_INTERFACES(qSlicerAbstractLoadableModule); public: … }; Plugin header … Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN2(qSlicerVolumesModule, qSlicerVolumesModule); … Plugin implementation QPluginLoader loader; loader.setFileName(pluginPath); loader.load(); QObject * object = this->Loader.instance(); qSlicerAbstractLoadableModule* module = qobject_cast<qSlicerAbstractLoadableModule*>(object); Plugin Loader
Modules: Logic + UI Module (qSlicerAbstractModule) QObject create() create() UI (qSlicerAbstractModuleWidget) Logic (vtkSlicerModuleLogic) QWidget qSlicer…ModuleWidget.ui vtkMRMLScene Designer UI file
How to write a loadable module • Create directories in Slicer3/QTModules • MyModule • MyModule/Resources • MyModule/Resources/UI • MyModule/Resources/Icons (optional) • Create the files • MyModule/CMakeLists.txt • MyModule/qSlicerMyModule.[h/cxx] • MyModule/qSlicerMyModuleWidget.[h/cxx] • MyModule/Logic/vtkSlicerMyModuleLogic.[h/cxx] (optional) • Can also reuse the module logic in Modules/MyModule/Logic • MyModule/Resources/qSlicerMyModule.qrc (optional) • MyModule/Resources/UI/qSlicerMyModule.ui
MyModule UI – 1 / 4 • Open Qt designer • “cd Slicer3-build; Slicer3.exe --designer” • Warning: on Windows, plugins must be compiled under the same mode than Qt (Release/Debug) • More info on http://wiki.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Slicer3:Developers:Projects:QtSlicer/Tutorials/QtDesigner
My Module UI – 2 / 4 • Create a UI form: • MyModule/Resources/UI/qSlicerMyModule.ui • qSlicerWidget has the signal mrmlSceneChanged() Qt Designer
MyModule UI – 3 / 4 Drag widgets on the form Names are important Qt Designer
My Module UI – 4 / 4 Connect widgets together with the signals/slots Here the MRMLScene of the module is propagated to the NodeSelector Qt Designer
MyModule Resources • If icons are used, they should go in • MyModule/Resources/Icons/ • Update the resource .qrc file • MyModule/Resources/qSlicerMyModule.qrc <!DOCTYPE RCC> <RCC version="1.0"> <qresource> <file>Icons/MyIcon.png</file> … </qresource> </RCC> qSlicerMyModule.qrc
