Modules vs. Extensions

Módulos

Los módulos son pequeños subprogramas que se integran dentro del Slicer para así extender sus funcionalidades. Pueden venir ya preinstalados (incluidos dentro de la versión de Slicer que se descargue de la web) o se instalan posteriormente.

There are three types, each with its own characteristics:

• [Scripted Modules] written in Python and recommended for fast prototypes
• [Loadable Modules] written in C ++, allow more complex and heavy tasks
• [Command Line Interface] Standalone executables, which communicate with the Slicer

Extensions

An extension is a group of one or more modules.

When installing an extension, the modules that compose it will be automatically installed and displayed on the Slicer interface as well as within the extension. Extensions are installed through the 'Extensions Manager' ', which is under the' 'View' 'menu (or using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + 4).
