Recently some stars have aligned and we’d like to hold a VTK hackathon on April 18, 2019. We will begin at 9:00am EDT and run through early afternoon. We will reserve a conference room(s) at various Kitware offices (so non-Kitware VTK contributors can join in person) as well as sharing a video link.
At this point let’s identify a theme for the hackathon. Obviously just getting together in person or via video is great, but there are a lot of outstanding issues that could benefit from some extra focus. Please suggest some potential topics and we’ll select something based on community interest.
Hi! It would be awesome if you could develop a vtkGIFwriter like there is a vtkAVIwriter!
Even if gif is an old unoptimised format it’s still largely used and under python there is no easy alternative other than export image and convert them with some external applications…
Thanks!
After poking around a bit, it seems the focus of Thursday’s upcoming VTK hackathon will be on closing open merge requests, and secondarily working on outstanding issues.
If you are not a Kitware employee and plan on attending at a Kitware office, please make sure you let someone know you are coming! It helps to plan for food and other logistics.
Hello - Can we include vtk-dicom ( written by David Gobbi ) into vtk so that when we do a pip install vtk we have access to the vtk-dicom classes? This will help in doing the CT Gantry tilt and reading multframe images.
That would be up to @dgobbi. If it is to be included in the pip packages, I’d rather it be in VTK itself rather than a remote module. That will ensure that it gets tested and updated with VTK.
I’d like to solicit again for updates to the vtkCubeAxesActor outlined in my comment above! I don’t have time open an issue today but this is a major issue for the vtki community.
If anyone is interested in helping here, it would be greatly appreciated!! Perhaps even just opening an issue on the repo listing all the issues and what a solution might look like.
