Hi Matt,

I think everything you suggested is possible in MITK. I assume some former 
versions already used stuff like this, but are now deprecated/not working 
anymore due to changes in MITK, VTK or Qt. I also assume that VTK and Qt offer 
a lot of widgets which could help you out there. VTK recently introduced a new 
QVTKWidget (I don't know the exact name) which implements the same interface as 
the old QVTKWidget, but internally uses the new QGraphicsView. This 
QGraphicsView allows for easy overlay of various objects like you described in 
your mail. We already had a bug (#5654) where we tried to use the QGraphicsView 
inside MITK.

Our plan is to use the new interface of VTK, but I'm not sure in which VTK 
version it will be available. If you would like to support us here, you could 
figure out which VTK version (I think either 5.10 or 6.0) contains this 
interface, build MITK with this VTK and try to replace the old QVTKWidget by 
the new one. I think this would ease all your following tasks a lot. Let me 
know what you think/know about that topic. We will work on the VTK 5.10 
integration. I already tried to build MITK with VTK 5.10, but I think it will 
take a month or two until we are done.

Best regards
Thomas

Hi there everyone,

I am sure some of this has been mentioned before, so please excuse any 
duplication.

We would like to have

1. A simple vertical/horizontal scale bar, ie. ruler, visible in each 2D view 
2. Annotations in each 2D view to make it really obvious which side of the view 
is Left/Right, Superior/Inferior, Anterior/Posterior.
3. Lookup table bar rendered into each 2D window - so that as Window Level 
changes, this updates.
4. An indication of orientation in the 3D view.
5. Provision for additional annotations in the 2D view, so that meta-data can 
be pulled from DICOM and put on the screen.

Have these things been considered for MITK? I can see the folder 
Modules/Overlays, but it does not appear to be widely used.
Does anyone have a suggestion for how these might be implemented, and maybe we 
can help out.

Matt
