IFL-CAMP / ImFusion_DemoPlugin

An tiny example for the implementation of a custom plugin in ImFusionSuite

DemoPlugin for ImFusionSuite

ImFusionSuite provides high-performance visualization and processing for medical data, it is developed by ImFusion GmbH. It also enables to implement custom C++ plugins that make use of the provided SDK.

This repo provides a baseline code for the implementation of a custom plugin.

To build it you require:

• ImFusionSuite SDK
• Qt5

It can be easily build using CMake, specifing the ImFusionLib_DIR and Qt5_DIR vabiables, e.g. (from the repository root)

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DImFusionLib_DIR=<PATH_TO_IMFUSIONLIB_CMAKE> -DQt5_DIR=<PATH_TO_QT5_CMAKE> ..
make

Create your own plugin starting from this one!

You can easily create a new plugin for ImFusionSuite using this one as a starting point. For instance, if you want to create a plugin called MyAmazingPlugin, these are the required steps:

• Copy the entire repo and change the root folder name to MyAmazingPlugin

• Rename the folder include/demo_plugin to include/my_amazing_plugin

• In every .hpp and .cpp file, rename the defined namespace to namespace MyAmazingPlugin

• In every .cpp file, modify the includes that use demo_plugin/ to my_amazing_plugin/

• In factory.cpp, modify line 12 to PluginAlgorithmFactory::PluginAlgorithmFactory() { registerAlgorithm<PluginAlgorithm>("MyCategory;My Amazing Plugin"); }

• In plugin.cpp, modify line 10 to return new ImFusion::MyAmazingPlugin::Plugin;

• In CMakeLists.txt, modify the project name from demo_plugin to my_amazing_plugin (it has to match the folder name under the include folder)
