Exercise 2: Changes in the Slicer interface

Punto de partida

To have completed Exercise 1, to have the "Slicer4minute. mrb" file scene open.

Objective

Modify the Slicer interface layout:

• Activate/deactivate the module panel

• Changing the position on the screen of the 3D and 2D view windows

• Set as the only window to display one of the 2D views

• Return to the initial state of the Slicer interface

Solution

1.Since we are not going to use the modules in this exercise, and to gain screen space, we are going to remove the module panel. We can do it floating by clicking on the icon indicated with a pink arrow in the example 1, then the panel becomes an independent window that we can move through the monitor. To close it, just click on the icon indicated with an orange arrow in the example 1 this will close the panel and if we want to have it again, just go to the View|Module Panel or Ctrl+5 menu. If you have floated the module panel and want to return to its initial position, simply drag it over the main window of Slicer and release it when the interface changes automatically to make room for it (See example 1).

2. By clicking on the View|Layout menu or the corresponding toolbar icon, the interface options are displayed:

Figure 1: step 2

3. Select the Four-Up option The four windows occupy the same portion of the screen, occupying a 2x2 layout.

Figure 2: step 3

4. Select the 3D only option A single window occupies the screen, that of the 3D view. With this option 2D windows will not be available.

Figure 3: step 4

5. Select the option Red Slice only.

It shows, as in the previous case, a single window on the screen, but this time it is one of the 2D views. In this step it has been requested to be red, but the same can be done with yellow or green.

5. Return to the status of the Slicer screen at the beginning of the exercise.

In the example 2 you can see the changes of screen organization in action.

Questions

• Identify work situations where different screen layout options with one or more simultaneous 3D representations are relevant
• Same for 2D views
