[mitk-users] [SPAM] once again: QmitkStdMultiWidget controlling layout

[Ingmar Wegner]

Hi,

I know this is an evergreen topic. And I know that QmitkStdMultiWidget is an old class but with mighty features that I would like to control.

 

My usecase:

I have a plugin that takes care of a workflow handled by several widgets each taking care of one workflow step.

Within a widget I need to control the layout of the StdMultiWidget.

 

I know that this was once possible but I don't see how it is to be implemented.

 

In my plugin I have the following code:

{

  // Initialize QmitkStdMultiWidget in case it isn't already
  mitk::IRenderWindowPart* render_winow_part = this->GetRenderWindowPart(QmitkAbstractView::OPEN);

 

  // Show 3D render window in full screen mode
  QmitkRenderWindow* render_window_3d = render_winow_part->GetQmitkRenderWindow("3d");
  render_window_3d->FullScreenMode(true);
  render_winow_part->GetRenderingManager()->InitializeViews();

 

  // Disable crosshairs
  mitk::ILinkedRenderWindowPart* linked_render_window_part = dynamic_cast<mitk::ILinkedRenderWindowPart*>(render_winow_part);
  if (linked_render_window_part != nullptr){
      linked_render_window_part->EnableSlicingPlanes(false);
  }

}

 

This initializes the QmitkStdMultiWidget, sets it to Big3D via setting the 3d widget to fullscreen and disables the crosshair.

 

-> But I can't set the layout to show a 2D widget on the left side and a 3D widget on the right side.

 

I see that the linked_render_window_part is the QmitkStdMultiWidgetEditor but as this is a plugin class I can not include, cast, and access it!

I can only reach the interface methods of ILinkedRenderWindowPart and IRenderWindowPart, so enable and disable decorations and such.

If I could reach it I could call GetStdMutliwidget and reach heaven (QmitkStdMultiWidget).

What I also tried was to control the widget via the QmitkRenderWindowMenu (the icons in the upper right corner of the widget) as the QmitkRenderWindow holds it as a member but there is no apropriate public method.

 

Is there a way to switch the layout from code?

Or do I have to modify the mitk class? If so, what would be the best strategy for it so I could contribute the changes if they are of interest?

 

Best Regards,

Ingmar
