Hi there Miri.
The recent MITK external project template is a good place to start. Having
myself recently started with MITK, I have done my first few plugins, so if I
were you I would do something like the following.
1. Take the latest template, exactly as it is, and make it compile, either by
using the SuperBuild options which recompiles MITK, or using an already
compiled MITK by pointing the MITK_DIR variable to your existing MITK build
directory.
2. Check that the make, make install and make package commands work on your
platform (BUILD, INSTALL and PACKAGE in visual studio if I remember correctly).
3. Rename the main application from AwesomeApp.cpp to the name of your choice,
and check it all compiles.
4. Start to create your plugin. You can either rename the files from the
example plugin or copy it, and rename the files. I find it easy to start with
the view component, get the controls in roughly the right place, connect the
signals from your widgets to slots within the view class, and then start
implementing your functionality.
5. Then the next main question is where to put all your new classes that you
create for the duration of your project. I have created two Modules. I have
one Module for things derived from classes within the Mitk and MitkExt Modules.
I have even created the same directory structure, to encourage myself to keep
things to a similar design as the core MITK library. I have another Module for
things derived from the Qmitk and QmitkExt Modules. So, you could create two
new Modules using the example module within the template.
6. Alternatively, you could create Modules based on functionality. You can see
this in the core MITK library, as under the Modules folder, there are classes
specifically for RigidRegistration, DeformableRegistration etc.
7. Once you have an example module, and an example plugin of your own, you can
delete the example ones like MyAwesomeLib and my.awesomeproject.exampleplugin,
and tweak the CMakeLists.txt.
8. After that, you should focus on creating good classes within Modules, and
simply use Plugins to bring them all together, in wonderful new and exciting
applications.
9. I'm sure other people have other useful suggestions too.
Hope that helps.
Matt

Hi All,
I've learned by the tutorial's step, playing with CTK in order to add my
plug-in.
What is the preferred way to add my plug-in with CTK template?
In MITK_ProjectTemplate tree there are some directories which I found useful:
- AwesomeApp.cpp
- AwesomeImageFlter.cpp
- mitkPluginActivator.cpp
- QmitkAwesomeView.cpp
- QmitkAwesomeViewControls.ui
I'm wondering if and how should I start to change those files (or there are
another ?) in order to implement my filters.
Any help/information would be very appreciated !
Cheers,
Miri
