More ideas for features
- masking and 3D painting (Jens is about to publish this)
- masking based on isosurface
- Stereo projection
Overall design
- Separation of UI and backend
  - further separate backend into graphics and non-graphics components
  - separate classes for created transfer functions and rendering based on the transfer function
- Achieving re-use?
  - make use of SLIVR
  - read files via same codes as Seg3D
  - data structures from SCIRun
- File reading and I/O engine
  - base on ITK but anticipate replacing
  - consider 4D from the start
    - are there formats for this?
  - consider large data sets from the start
    - must be part of the file reader
- New UI elements
  - interface to multidimensional X-fer function
    - different UI for different dimensions
    - how to design a good UI ? TOdo: ask Dave to think about it
      - draw interface
      - separate this capability well from the rest of the code
      - include some presets and a way to add presets
Interface with SLIVR
- ask Michael and Marty to come to us and explain SLIVR
- we will need to interface to it well
- can we integrate level of detail capabilities to SLIVR?
- how does SLIVR handle large data now?
