[FusionViewer-users] Opportunity to author Graphics books- Packt Publishing.

[Kshipra S. <ksh...@pa...>]

Hi All, 

I am writing to you for Packt Publishing, publishers of computer related books. 

Packt is planning to extend its catalogue of books based on Open Source Graphics softwares. Potential authors who are passionate about Open Source Graphics are invited to approach us with their book ideas. No previous writing experience is necessary, just enthusiasm for the subject and an ability to put your expertise into words is required. 

So, if you love FusionViewer and would like others to learn from your knowledge about it, please get in touch with us at au...@pa... with your book idea, some information about your knowledge of FusionViewer and any past writing experience you may have. Even if you do not have a book idea and are simply interested in writing a book, we would like to hear from you. 

Packt runs an Open Source Royalty Scheme so by writing for Packt you will inadvertently be giving back to the Open Source Community.

Re: [FusionViewer-users] Errors Running FusionViewer (beta) on Windows XP 32bit.

[fuseview@u.washington.edu]

Hi Saeed,

1)For the 1st case, please invoke the FusionViewer application in the command prompt window: Start->Run...->type in "cmd".  In the command window, type in following:
cd path-to-FusionViewer-installed-folder
cd bin
java -jar FusionViewer.jar

Please check what's the error message shown in that window.

2)For the 2nd case, the error message is related to the color model setting on the machine.  Please check the Display property of the new machine and make sure you are using the 32 bit setting.

3)For the 3rd case, I'd suggest you to download the source code package and make a local built following the last section of developer's guide.  And run the built application again and see what is the result.

Regards,

Annie

[FusionViewer-users] Errors Running FusionViewer (beta) on Windows XP 32bit.

[Saeed B. <sa...@gm...>]

Hi.
We have been widely using FusionViewer (beta version) in our research lab.
but when I tried to install it on three of our new machines (running 
windows XP 32bit),
it got some strange errors:

1- on the first machine, after installing the windows installation file, 
and installing the appropriate JAVA JRE and JDK (which are the 
recommended ones in FusionViewer's own web site).
I get an error massage which says "missing msvcr71.dll". I got the 
mentioned dll from another machine and copied it into system32 folder of 
this machine. Now the window appears, but after opening a file I see the 
"progress bar" animating but nothing happens...

2- on the second on, it starts well, but upon opening a file it says:
"Error while loading file. Unable to set pixel format 21 for device 
context 0xffffffffb90108cc: error code 0"

3- And finally on the third one, it loads, and the mouse arrow changes 
to cross hair, but I can see the background of windows, not the loaded 
picture [seems the window does not refresh or update, as this is the 
same thing when we forget to update(); refresh(); in C# or C++].

Can anybody please help me with a solution to these problems.
Is it possibly due to openGL or JOGL? Should I update something?

FusionViewer is so good, and we are so used to it that we can not 
neglect it's benefits at all.

Bests,
--Saeed.

Re: [FusionViewer-users] Fusion of 2D Image

[fuseview@u.washington.edu]

Hi Fucang,



Thanks for using FusionViewer in your research.  FusionViewer does support 2D fusion since its alpha release.  Would you please provide more details (image format, error message etc) so that I can check for you?

Annie

Subject: [FusionViewer-users] Fusion of 2D Image

Hello Annie,

I am very glad to find that FusionViewer is a powerful and convenient tool for  medical image
research. Usually I view fusion on 3D images, but for experimental research, I also do 2D image
fusion. But I find that FusionViewer seems do not support 2D image yet, if there are any plan
to support 2D image fusion in future?

Thank you very much!

Re: [FusionViewer-users] FusionViewer: New feature / trouble compiling

Dear Woutjan,

GUI maps for current version of FusionViewer are 32-bit. The error tells =
that
the graphical device (on your computer) in 64 bit space cannot map a =
pixel
which lies in a 32-bit space.=20

You may can give it another try by updating the JOGL library. =
Unfortunately,
due to limited resources, we will have to leave it to the feature =
wishlist
and are to address it in future.  But if you are interested and want to =
work
on it, your contribution will be mostly welcome.  Thanks!

Re: [FusionViewer-users] Experience with FusionViewer

[Annie L. <al...@in...>]

Hey Robert,

Thanks for your clarification.  Yes, we haven't put any effort to =
support
NRRD format or raw image so far and we will look forward to doing so in
future, hopefully in Beta version. =20

>From your description, I think you took the right approach.  To deal =
with raw
files, you need to create a header file for it as follows:

ObjectType =3D Image
NDims =3D 3
BinaryData =3D True
BinaryDataByteOrderMSB =3D False
CompressedData =3D False
TransformMatrix =3D 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1
Offset =3D -225 -225 -723.75
CenterOfRotation =3D 0 0 0
AnatomicalOrientation =3D RPI
ElementSpacing =3D 0.878906 0.878906 3.75
DimSize =3D 512 512 194
ElementType =3D MET_FLOAT
ElementDataFile =3D CT.raw

You need to provide some information such as image dimension, pixel =
spacing,
pixel type etc.  Instead of specify the single raw file (e.g. "CT.raw") =
you
can also use the list expression such as "ElementDataFile =3D =
FileBaseName.%03d
1 100 1" or "ElementDataFile =3D LIST FileName1 FileName2...FileNameN"

Annie

Hi Annie -

I thought that the error reporting problems might be an alpha release =
issue,
but thought I should mention them anyway.  I'll join the mailing list!

And I'll put together an NRRD file - it may or may not be valid!  These =
image
format definitions seem both overcomplicated and unspecific to me.

And by switching to MetaIO, I mean that I have raw data files with no
Dicom/Interfile/etc., and I was looking for the easiest possible way to =
get
them into FusionViewer.  The documentation suggested MetaIO, but when =
the web
page didn't come up I quickly surveyed the other formats and NRRD seemed =
the
quickest for throwing something together.  When I had troubles with NRRD =
I
searched a bit harder for the MetaIO documentation.

Hi Robert,

Thank you for your reporting.  Please join our user's mailing list at

The MetaIO link in FusionViewer User's Guide has been updated.  You =
check the

http://fusionviewer.sourceforge.net/docs/FusionViewerUsersGuide.pdf.
The User's Guide has also been updated for the demo package at
http://fusionviewer.sourceforge.net/demo/FusionViewer-demo_mac.tar.gz =
and
http://fusionviewer.sourceforge.net/demo/FusionViewer-demo_win.zip

The alpha version of FusionViewer has not been tested using NRRD format
image. And if possible, could you please send your image to me so that I =
can
test it?=20

I was a little confused by your words "switching to MetaIO", did you use =
the
executable file called "Dicom2MetaIO"?  Or did you just specify the =
MetaIO
image by using ".mhd" extension?

And we are working on the exception reporting functions as well as the
display window helps.  You can expect these functions to be added and/or
improved in the Beta version. =20
