[IGSTK-Developers] Tcon Agenda

[Frank Lindseth]

Thank you for responding Andinet.

Yes, we do need a NEW ImageResliceRep, and this work is scheduled for  
the next iteration (I hope),
but before the Tracker(Tool) comp. is "finalized" I think that it  
would be wise to spend some time thinking
about the optimal way for these two key comp. to communicate (on a  
high level at this point of course).
Torleif has made a SliceRep (in the sandbox, long name) that we use  
for display and "mouse" interaction,
but it's not properly connected to the new tracker yet.

So my intension was just to get some input regarding the intended way  
to "connect" key components,
while its still easy to do potential adjustments to the tracker, I  
find it a bit difficult and strange to look
at the tracker in "isolation", the three key comp. in a navigation  
system is Image(SpatialObject), (Tracker)Tool
and (Image)Reslice(Rep) (personal opinion) and View and camera  
becomes important in order to display an
oblique slice properly in a 2DView, in the links you find some of my  
early thoughts on this (in an IGSTK setting),
comments to these thoughts are still welcome.

Thanks.
- Frank
