SlicerCustomAppTemplate by Kitware

This project is a template to be used as a starting point for creating a custom 3D Slicer application.

3D Slicer is an open-source and extensible application for visualization and medical image analysis. 3D Slicer works with optical imaging, MRI, CT, and ultrasound data.

At Kitware, we help customers develop commercial products based on 3D Slicer and we have used the platform to rapidly prototype solutions in nearly every aspect of medical imaging.

Getting Started

The following will get a custom 3D Slicer application started in a new repository:

pip install cookiecutter jinja2-github
cookiecutter gh:KitwareMedical/SlicerCustomAppTemplate
# Fill in the information requested at the prompts

We suggest to use the following commit message for checking in the results of these commands:

ENH: Add <custom name> application sources

This commit adds source files generated using KitwareMedical/SlicerCustomAppTemplate@<SHA of main>
and referencing Slicer/Slicer@<SHA of main>.

Features and improvements specific to the custom application will be integrated
in follow-up commits.

This will mark the version of the template file used and the Slicer version in the git history

FAQ

Which version of Slicer do the generated application build against ?

Leveraging the jinja2-github plugin, the cookiecutter template generator will retrieve the latest commit associated with the Slicer repository default branch and it will set it as GIT_TAG value in the generated CMakeLists.txt.
