Detailed Description

Loading modules into slicer happens in multiple steps: 1) module factories must be registered into the factory manager: qSlicerModuleFactoryManager* factoryManager = app->moduleManager()->factoryManager(); factoryManager->registerFactory(new qSlicerLoadableModuleFactory); ... 2) directories where the modules to load are located must be passed to the factory manager factoryManager->addSearchPath(app->slicerHome() + "/" + Slicer_QTSCRIPTEDMODULES_LIB_DIR + "/" ); factoryManager->addSearchPath(app->slicerHome() + "/" + Slicer_CLIMODULES_LIB_DIR + "/" ); ... 3) Optionally:

• specify module names to ignore: For startup speed-up and memory consummation, it can be useful to not load some modules: factoryManager->setModulesToIgnore(QStringList(QString("Data")));
• specify an explicit list of modules to register/instantiate/load. All other discovered modules won't be loaded. 4) scan the directories and test which file is a module and register it (not instantiated yet) For each file in the search paths, the factory manager asks each registered factory if they can load the file. If there is a factory that supports the file, the manager associates the factory to the file path, otherwise the file is discarded. factoryManager->registerModules(); 5) Instantiate all the registered modules factoryManager->instantiateModules(); 6) Connect each module with the scene and the application The application logic and the scene are passed to each module. The order of initialization is defined with the dependencies of the modules. If module B depends of module A, it is assured that module B is initialized/setup after A. factoryManager->loadModules();

Property Documentation

modulesToIgnore

QStringList qSlicerAbstractModuleFactoryManager::modulesToIgnore

readwrite

This property holds the names of the modules to ignore at registration time.

Due to the large amount of modules to load, it can be faster (and less overwhelming) to load only a subset of the modules.

Definition at line 84 of file qSlicerAbstractModuleFactoryManager.h.

searchPaths

QStringList qSlicerAbstractModuleFactoryManager::searchPaths

readwrite

This property holds the paths where the modules are located. At registration time (registerModules), the paths are scanned and module discovered. A module can be a library (dll, so), an executable (exe), a python file (py) or any other file type supported by the registered factories. The search is not recursive, you need to provide each subdirectory manually.

Todo:

In qSlicerAbstractModuleFactoryManager, should the module search recursively descend searchPaths

Example:

The order in which factories are registered is important. When scanning directories, registered factories are browse and the first factory that can read a file is used. Priority is used when multiple factories can register the same module. The factory with the higher priority wins.
