[Insight-developers] [Insight-users] Submit ITK modules to Insight Journal

Xiaoxiao,

I was looking at the instructions for the source module:

https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/InsightJournalTemplate/tree/ModularTemplate/Source

It looks like I need to copy my current ITK Module into this IJ Template directory, then copy it back into ITK to build it... Seems like too much coping.

Say I have a module I have been using and want to write an IJ article on it:

https://github.com/blowekamp/itkOBBLabelMap

Could I just add a submodule in the Source directory? Do I have to use the "MyIJSubmission" for the name of my module?

Would something like the following work:
git clone --origin template git at github.com:InsightSoftwareConsortium/InsightJournalTemplate.git ijOBBLabelMap
cd  ijOBBLabelMap
git submodule add https://github.com/blowekamp/itkOBBLabelMap Source/itkOBBLabelMap


Thanks,
Brad
