Detailed Description

Base class for tools that use a contour for feedback.

See also
Tool
ContourModel

Implements helper methods, that might be of use to all kind of 2D segmentation tools that use a contour for user feedback.

  • Providing a feedback contour that might be added or removed from the visible scene (SetFeedbackContourVisible).
  • Filling of a contour into a 2D slice

These helper methods are actually implemented in ContourModelUtils now. FeedbackContourTool only forwards such requests.

Warning
Only to be instantiated by mitk::ToolManager.

Parameters
[in]positionEventThe position event that triggers the segmentation update.
[in]labelValueThe label value to be written.
[in]addModeIf false, the contour area is set to background (erased). If true, the label is added to the slice.
[in]setInvisibleAfterSuccessIf true, hides the feedback contour after successful write.
