README

        
A Python module importable from Slicer3 which smoothly rotates, pans and zooms to take screenshots which can be pasted together

library for moving the camera in Slicer 3

Installation instructions:

* download smv.py

* open Slicer3

* open Python console

* add the location of the smv.py script to the Python Path:

type these commands:

    import sys

	sys.path.append('/home/tomb/exampleFolderWhereIDownloadedTheScriptTo/')

* Now type commands in this Python terminal window

Example of use:

	back = -120

	front = 100

	from smv import *

	help()

	startOver()

	zoom(150)

	moveToSlice(back)

	saveSlicePics(front - back, 200)

	saveSlicePics(spot - front, 100)

	saveRotatePics(45, 0, 80)

	saveZoomAndPanPics(20, 30, 0, 150, 200)

Dev thoughts / todos: 

* This library duplicates all the coordinates code for the camera - it's all in Slicer internals somewhere, but we're keeping separate track of it)

* Doesn't behave as some users expect since camera-up is always real up.  This is good for most situations, but different than manually rotating an image.
