16 -----
|
|
|
17
|
|
|
18 This plugin adds a dedicated button to Orthanc Explorer, which
|
|
|
19 provides an easy access to VolView (click on the image to view a demo

|
|
|
23 :align: center
|
|
|

|
|
|
28 Starting with its release 0.8.0, the :ref:`Orthanc Explorer 2
|
|
|
29 <orthanc-explorer-2>` plugin also provides a button to open VolView.

31 Compilation
|
|
|
32 -----------
|
|
|
33
|
|
|
34 .. highlight:: bash
|
|
|
35
|
|
|
36 Official releases can be `downloaded from the Orthanc homepage
|
|
|
37 <https://www.orthanc-server.com/browse.php?path=/plugin-volview>`__. As
|
|
|
38 an alternative, the `repository containing the source code
|
|
|
39 <https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/hg/orthanc-volview/>`__ can be accessed using
|
|
|
40 Mercurial.
|
|
|
41
|
|
|
42 The procedure to compile this plugin is similar of that for the
|
|
|
43 :ref:`core of Orthanc <binaries>`. The following commands should work
|
|
|
44 on most GNU/Linux distributions, provided Docker is installed::
|
|
|
45
|
|
|
46 $ mkdir Build
|
|
|
47 $ cd Build
|
|
|
48 $ ../Resources/CreateVolViewDist.sh
|
|
|
49 $ cmake .. -DSTATIC_BUILD=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
|
|
|
50 $ make
|
|
|
51
|
|
|
52 The compilation will produce a shared library ``libOrthancVolView.so``
|
|
|
53 that contains the VolView plugin for Orthanc.
|
|
|
54
|
|
|
55 Pre-compiled Linux Standard Base (LSB) binaries `are available for
|
|
|
56 download <https://lsb.orthanc-server.com/plugin-volview/>`__.
|
|
|
57
|
|
|
58 Pre-compiled binaries for Microsoft Windows and macOS `are also
|
|
|
59 available
|
|
|
60 <https://www.orthanc-server.com/browse.php?path=/plugin-volview>`__.
|
|
|
61
|
|
|
62 Furthermore, the :ref:`Docker images <docker>`
|
|
|
63 ``jodogne/orthanc-plugins`` and ``osimis/orthanc`` also contain the
|
|
|
64 plugin. Debian and Ubuntu packages can be found in the
|
|
|
65 :ref:`standalone repository <binaries>`
|
|
|
66 ``https://debian.orthanc-labs.com/``.

69 Configuration
|
|
|
70 -------------
|
|
|
71
|
|
|
72 .. highlight:: json
|
|
|
73
|
|
|
74 Here is a minimal sample :ref:`configuration file <configuration>` to
|
|
|
75 use this plugin::
|
|
|
76
|
|
|
77 {
|
|
|
78 "Plugins" : [
|
|
|
79 "/home/user/OrthancVolView/Build/libOrthancVolView.so"
|
|
|
80 ]
|
|
|
81 }
|
|
|
82
|
|
|
83 Orthanc must of course be restarted after the modification of its
|
|
|
84 configuration file.
