AnglePlanes

Description

This Module is used to calculate the angle between two planes by using the normals.

The user gets the choice to use two planes which are already implemented on Slicer or they can define a plane by using landmarks (at least 3 landmarks).

Plane can also be saved to be reused for other models.

angleplanes-extension's Issues

color planes should not resize when sash is adjusted

When the slice reformat widgets are visible they track the size of the slice viewers by default. To change this behavior you can adjust the SliceResolution modue for each slice node associated with the plane.

@fbudin69500 this is what we discussed on the hangout -- I think you will know where to put this in the code but if not I can have a look.

Fiducial created plane do not disappear when closing scene

Evaluate use of Plane markup

To define a planes, the user is currently expected to:

• click on "Compute around bounding box"
• select the model for projection
• create a "connected landmark list"
• click "add a new plane"
• manually place 3 fiducials and make sure the correct fiducials are associated with the plane

To streamline this process and rely on the new plane markups, here are few questions:

• what is the role of the "Define middle point between two landmarks" ? Is this is still needed ?
• the save/load plane is an undocumented format specific to this extension. Are these files used ? Can we now use the new "json" format used to save markup annotation in Slicer ? (it is versioned and has a schema)

The plane markup is also associated with 3 fiducials and provide a mechanism to easily adjust angle/origin of the plane by showing an interactive tool:

By using the plane annotation, we would remove a lot of code in the extension and would simply display a list of plane markup annotations.

Angle Planes does not appear when installed in Slicer 4.11

When we install the AnglePlanes extension in Slicer 4.11 even after we re-start Slicer we cannot. see the extension in the list of modules and if we search we cannot find Angle Planes. Thanks!
