Chapter I: Basic Mechanisms of MeVisLab

Basic Mechanics of MeVisLab (Example: Building a Contour Filter)

In this chapter you will learn the basic mechanisms of the MeVisLab IDE. You will learn how to re-use existing modules to load and view data and you will build your first processing pipeline.

Loading Data

First, we need to load the data we would like to work on, e.g. a CT scan. In MeVisLab, modules are used to perform their associated specific task, they are the basic entities you will be working with. Each module has a different functionality for processing, visualization and interaction. Connecting modules enables the development of complex processing pipelines. You will get to know different types of modules throughout the course of this tutorial.
