Collection Modes
Collection modes represent methods for converting data in the Slicer scene into linear objects. Below are listed the currently available collection modes. Note: Collected linear objects are always added to the active linear object collection node.
This collection mode is for collecting linear objects on a physical phantom using a tracked stylus. Linear objects must be manually delineated and their type must be known beforehand.
- Collection Node: Transform (the tool transform used to probe the phantom)
- Reference: Start/stop collecting a reference (Shortcut: "R")
- Point: Start/stop collecting a point (Shortcut: "P")
- Line: Start/stop collecting a line (Shortcut: "L")
- Plane: Start/stop collecting a plane (Shortcut: "A")
This collection mode is for collecting linear objects on a physical phantom using a tracked stylus. Linear objects must be manually delineated, but their type will be automatically calculated.
- Collection Node: Transform (the tool transform used to probe the phantom)
- Collect: Start/stop collecting a linear object (type will be automatically displayed during collection) (Shortcut: "C")
This collection mode is for collecting linear objects on a physical phantom using a tracked stylus. Linear objects will be automatically delineated, and their type will be automatically calculated.
- Collection Node: Transform (the tool transform used to probe the phantom)
- (progress and type will be automatically displayed during collection)
This collection mode is for collecting linear objects on a model in the Slicer scene. A position on the model must be manually specified, and a linear object will be created on the model based on the selected type.
- Collection Node: Model (the model on which the linear objects will be)
- Reference: Place a reference on the model (Shortcut: "R")
- Point: Place a point on the model (Shortcut: "P")
- Line: Place a line on the model (Shortcut: "L")
- Plane: Place a plane on the model (Shortcut: "A")
This collection mode is for collecting linear objects from a list of fiducials. The linear object will be fitted to the fiducial collection and the type will be automatically calculated.
- Collection Node: Fiducial (the fiducial list to fit linear objects to)
- Convert Fiducials: Fit a linear object to the list of fiducials (Shortcut: "C")
