ITK Modularization Residuals

• Check the TODO list file

• • • Enabling Examples (DONE)
    • Doxygen documentation (DONE)
    • KWStyle configuration (DONE)
  • http://kwsource.kitwarein.com/itk/itk/blobs/master/TODO-Modularization.txt
    • Installation ?
    • Wiki Documentation

• Use Cases

Dashboard

Monolithic Dashboard

• Dashboard Status - Today's Dashboard

Modular Dashboard

• http://www.cdash.org/CDash/index.php?project=ITKModular

Comments from Lorensen: Unfortunately, I am on travel today and cannot attend the t-con. My initial impression of the itk modular dashboard is that is not in a form that is usable for ITK at this time. The navigation is cumbersome and it is difficult to use on a day-to-day basis. I hope we can have more discussion about this. My recommendation is try it out for a week, evaluate the usability and identify the missing features. Then, revert all submissions to the non-modular dashboard and wait for a new cdash release.

OPENJPEG Dashboard

• http://my.cdash.org/index.php?project=OPENJPEG

Valgrind Errors

• Related to the new itkTestDriver

FastMarching Refactoring

• Backward Compatibility
  • Should we move v3 classes into Deprecated?
  • Should we fix everything that currently depends on FastMarching? (Although, we are in the process of refactoring the level sets)
• Preferred class name?
• http://review.source.kitware.com/#change,1328

Refactoring Workflow

• Right now
  • code is developed on other remote
  • once the code is mature, we submit to gerrit
  • lost history
  • refactoring may appear as single commit from one person (not team spirit oriented)
• Any other solution?

ImageRegionDuplicator

• The goal is to accelerate image region to region coping where possible
• memcpy vs std:copy
• http://review.source.kitware.com/#change,1277

Schedule

ITKv4 A06

• Transition Plan
  • Tag done

ITKv4 A07

• Let's tag now
• The changes after modularization are enormous and we don't have a tag that marks the repository past the events
• Many other changes are getting into the repository, and the diff between A07 and A06 is not longer: just modularization.

ITK FEM Modifications

Doxygen

• what about enabling the "edit comments" to submit patches to gerrit? see documented class

• scripts
  • scripts to add the module for each class in the doxygen documentation?
  • scripts to add (automatically) links to wiki example in the doxygen documentation?
  • scripts to add examples/tests to doxygen documentation (for each class, whenever it is relevant)?
