Modularity

At the heart of the platform is the notion of modules. A module is composed of a shared library together with a file containing some Tcl code. The modules are organised in a hierarchical manner thus allowing the sharing of code and ideas. A set of basics modules related to volumetric images and meshes is provided. Each developer can choose either to create its own module or improve the basic modules, depending on the genericity of its development. Finally, we have created specific modules as interfaces to other image processing libraries.
