+## Introduction
+The Simple Medical Imaging Library Interface (SMILI) is a light weight medical imaging library for image and model/surface processing and visualisation.

-[[members limit=20]]

+Built around Qt, ITK and VTK, it is divided into three main parts:
+
+ * the sMILX user interface application for medical imaging with just a few mouse clicks.
+ * a user-interface dependent library for writing and using easy to use medical imaging applications.
+ * a user-interface indepdendent library, so that it easily utilised in your own command line applications. This level can directly interfaces with ITK and VTK.
+
+The milxQt is a Qt4 dependent library that extends milxSMILI to handle user-interface and visualisation using Qt4. The SMILI X Viewer (sMILX) utilises milxQt to create a GUI-application for easy medical imaging and surface processing.
+
+It allows for a very high level access to image and model process and display capabilities. For example, in order to triangulate, decimate, smooth and clean a polygonal surface and display it in coronal view, one simply issues:
+
+    model->clean();
+    model->smoothSinc(20); // windowed sinc 20 iterations
+    model->decimate(0.5); // 50% decimation
+    model->colourMapToJet();
+    model->viewToCoronal();
+
+Similar syntax is available to the sMILX Python plugin, which has a Python console for autmoating the user interface.
+
+## Prerequisites 
+ITK 3.20+ and VTK 5.8+ built and installed. SMILX also requires Qt 4 and CMake to build. SMILI can function with either ITK or VTK installed and will detect each library.
+To utilise just the imaging parts of SMILI, you just need ITK. To utilise the surface/model parts of SMILI you just need VTK. To utilise the GUI dependent parts you need both libraries.
+
+On Ubuntu linux systems (12.04+), simply install the repository version of Qt, VTK (with VTK-Qt), PythonQt (to build the Python plugin) and ITK. We reccomend ITK 4.5 and VTK 6.1 and not VTK 5.10.1 which seems to have a number of features broken.
+For ITK 3 builds, I suggest a local build of ITK 3 with review enabled to get all the features currently available.
+
+## Build Steps
+Detailed build instructions can be found on the [Building page]. It goes something like:
+
+    mkdir build
+    cd build
+    ccmake .. OR cmake-gui
+    make OR ninja
+
+Use the BUILD_VIEWER to ON to build sMILX and BUILD_PLUGINS to ON to build plugins for sMILX.
+
+## Plugins for sMILX
+* For building SMILX Python Plugin
+Build PythonQt <pythonqt.sourceforge.net/> and Python 2.x installed
+
+* For building SMILX Animate Plugin (used for making movies)
+Build VTK with the FFMPEG Encoder ON
+
+* For building SMILX DICOM Plugin (used for making movies)
+Build SMILI with ITK 4.x
+
+* For building SMILX SSM Plugin (used for shape models)
+Copy the relelvant SSM source files from the website, use the USE_SSM_LOCAL ot ON and build.
+You will need to use ITK 3.20 and VTK 5.8 or VK 5.10.1
+
+## Scripting
+All aspects of sMILX can be scripted using the python plugin. Example scripts for sMILX can be found in scripts/ directory with the prefix 'smilx_'. Additional modules for filenames from directories etc. are also in the scripts/ directory.
+
+Applications like milxOverlay can also be run as a batch job. All batch scripts for apps can be found in the scripts/ directory with the prefix 'batch_'. The scripts using the multi-processing module wrapped conveniently in the batch module found in the scripts/ directory.
+
+### Appendix A - VTK MODULAR
+SMILI needs
+
+* Enable Qt and Imaging modules
+* Enable IO-PLY, RenderingImage modules
+* Modules vtkIOInfovis vtkFiltersProgrammable
+
+milxQt needs:
+
+* Modules vtkRenderingLOD vtkChartsCore vtkViewsContext2D vtkIOExport
