Surfaces viewer based on VTK

ui-3dsurfaces

This app takes a configured list of URLs for VTK files and renderes it using WebGL. This app is used by Brainlife to show neuro/3dsurfaces datasets. Take a look at this demo

Prerequiste

sudo apt install nodejs
sudo npm install -g lite-server

Installation

git clone https://github.com/brain-life/ui-3dsurfaces.git
cd ui-3dsurfaces
npm install
npm run dev

Your browser should open a ui-3dsurfaces viewer with data from ./testdata directory. Please see index.html to find out how to set paths for input data. and testdata for how to format the input data.

ui-3dsurfaces's Issues

Add nifti overlay capabilities

Similar to ui-tractview
We should do this after standardizing the way that the visualization data should be transformed

Add support for ply and stl surfaces

Lindsey's app can output not only vtk, but ply and stl as well.
We should add support for these types of files

Get spatial size of input data

This requires modification outside of the viewer. We could be given input data that is not inside a 256x256x256 box, but would be unable to detect this with the current version of the viewer.

We could perhaps take this bounding size in as a parameter to window.config?

Transform data into LSA, regardless of data layout

Right now the data layout is assumed to be -0 +2 -1, but this is only one of 48 possible layout types.
We should find a way to grab the data layout and make appropriate adjustments

I think that for now, however, assuming the input data will already be in LSA format is safe, simply due to the fact that it is standardized across freesurfer related apps
