Detailed Description

Manages and coordinates instances of mitk::Tool.

See also: QmitkToolSelectionBox; Tool; QmitkSegmentationView

This class creates and manages several instances of mitk::Tool.

ToolManager creates instances of mitk::Tool by asking the itk::ObjectFactory to list all known implementations of mitk::Tool. As a result, one has to implement both a subclass of mitk::Tool and a matching subclass of itk::ObjectFactoryBase that is registered to the top-level itk::ObjectFactory. For an example, see mitkContourToolFactory.h. (this limitation of one-class-one-factory is due to the implementation of itk::ObjectFactory). In MITK, the right place to register the factories to itk::ObjectFactory is the mitk::QMCoreObjectFactory or mitk::SBCoreObjectFactory.

ToolManager knows a set of "reference" DataNodes and a set of "working" DataNodes. The first application are segmentation tools, where the reference is the original image and the working data the (kind of) binary segmentation. However, ToolManager is implemented more generally, so that there could be other tools that work, e.g., with surfaces.

There is a set of events that are sent by ToolManager. At the moment these are TODO update documentation:
- mitk::ToolReferenceDataChangedEvent whenever somebody calls SetReferenceData. Most of the time this actually means that the data has changed, but there might be cases where the same data is passed to SetReferenceData a second time, so don't rely on the assumption that something actually changed.
- mitk::ToolSelectedEvent is sent when a (truly) different tool was activated. In reaction to this event you can ask for the active Tool using GetActiveTool or GetActiveToolID (where nullptr or -1 indicate that NO tool is active at the moment).

Design decisions:

Not a singleton, because there could be two functionalities using tools, each one with different reference/working data.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ToolManager()

mitk::ToolManager::ToolManager ( DataStorage * storage )

protected

You may specify a list of tool "groups" that should be available for this ToolManager. Every Tool can report its group as a string. This constructor will try to find the tool's group inside the supplied string. If there is a match, the tool is accepted. Effectively, you can provide a human readable list like "default, lymphnodevolumetry, oldERISstuff".

◆ ~ToolManager()
