ModelGUI 1.0.22-alpha Released

NITRC ADMIN — Sun, 01 Jun 2014 12:05:51 GMT

The 22nd alpha version of ModelGUI has just been released. Added features include: improved GIFTI support, new and improved video tasks, 3D printing output, a 2D polyline ruler tool, and numerous other improvements and bug fixes.

Outstanding features to implement before the beta release include: fully implemented Project functionality, including a Project Panel; fully implemented XML I/O for the the ModelGUI Session, particularly Shape Models (mostly complete), Windows, Projects, Pipelines (complete), Environments, Graphs (mostly complete), and Data Sources (complete); a more robust Volume3D Input Dialog Box; and a number of critical bug fixes.

Further down the road, we'd like to implement: better Query functionality; Print Layouts for visualizing and outputting data in a more controlled fashion; region-of-interest (ROI) functionality, which will better allow atlas integration, querying, database interaction, and object labelling; 4D shapes (i.e., including a temporal dimension); better CAD and statistical functionality; a computational modelling framework and GUI.

ModelGUI to be featured at OHBM Hackathon

NITRC ADMIN — Thu, 15 May 2014 3:19:51 GMT

The ModelGUI Project will be featured as a project at the Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM) 2014 Hackathon, taking place 5-7 June at c-base in Berlin, Germany. If you're planning on attending this event, check it out! I will also be at the main OHBM meeting (8-12 June in Hamburg, Germany), if you'd like to get in touch. Contact Andrew Reid at: andrew@typically.net.

ModelGUI 1.0.20-alpha Released

NITRC ADMIN — Wed, 08 Jan 2014 12:28:58 GMT

The 20th alpha version of ModelGUI has just been released. Added features include: support for MINC format image files (limited at present to Linux OS, and reading functions); improved Volume3D functionality, including a more interactive colour mapping interface and the ability to set fixed limits, and bug fixes for handling NIFTI orientation information; improved Pipeline functionality, including a new minc-tools process library; volume-to-volume mapping with several types of interpolation (nearest-neighbour, trilinear, tricubic); volume normalization with a constant or mask image; and several bug fixes.

ModelGUI beta, NITRC, and OHBM

NITRC ADMIN — Sun, 09 Jun 2013 4:43:44 GMT

ModelGUI is finally due to be released as a beta version, to coincide with the 2013 OHBM Annual Meeting (16-20 June, Seattle). SEe http://www.humanbrainmapping.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3511. The release will be featured in a poster presentation at that conference; if you are by chance attending, please drop by poster #1442, June 17.

ModelGUI has also now been added to the NITRC website (https://www.nitrc.org/projects/modelgui), which features neuroimaging software and datasets. The NITRC site will interact with the functionality of the Launchpad site.

A final announcement will follow, once the beta version has officially been released and is downloadable. A few minor fixes remain to be implemented first!

ModelGUI 1.0.16 alpha Released

NITRC ADMIN — Fri, 02 Nov 2012 6:50:38 GMT

This is the 16th alpha release, which adds some useful functionality, particularly 3D composite volumes, which allows multiple images to be rendered as composites in both 2D and 3D. Other improvements include 2D rendering of sections, moving of all sections to a given 3D point, and numerous bug fixes. Enjoy!

ModelGUI 1.0.15-alpha Released

NITRC ADMIN — Thu, 16 Aug 2012 3:13:00 GMT

The 15th alpha release of ModelGUI is now available for download from the Launchpad site. This release has improved functionality for a variety of modules, including improved Graph3D loading and visualization (with the option to make edges transparent), Graph2D rendering on section sets, and more available Datasource features. A number of minor bugs have also been fixed.

ModelGUI 1.0.10-alpha Released

NITRC ADMIN — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 1:30:38 GMT

Yes, yet another alpha version :) However, some real progress is being made on several fronts. This release contains mostly improvements made to data source functionality; particular that of PostgreSQL connectivity. A variety of additional fixes to volumes, graphs, shape queries, and so on, are also included. The logging system is updated, and the overall tidiness of the installation is much enhanced. Java3D is now included among the dependencies, removing a major headache in the installation process.

ModelGUI 1.0.8-alpha Released

NITRC ADMIN — Fri, 27 May 2011 6:56:13 GMT

The 8th release (https://launchpad.net/modelgui/+download) provides a number of improvements, notably to the data source interface. Minor fixes are also provided.

Changelog

Data Source Panel:

Improved PostgreSQL support

Functional Data Queries

XML persistence of data sources + queries

Windowing:

Adjustable split panels

Context menu options

Shapes:

Data operations (using GNU version of JEP)

Node selection tool

Improved mesh rendering

ModelGUI 1.0.7-alpha released

NITRC ADMIN — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 5:50:47 GMT

Moving towards a beta version, but not quite there, given the ambitious scope of the project. This new version includes:

3D graph rendering, based on the Jung API

Improved database connectivity, including support for PostgreSQL

Many bug fixes

Development is still in progress, but the team is *me*, so it takes time. A beta version is currently planned for the end of the summer; look for it around September.

ModelGUI 1.0.5-alpha Released

NITRC ADMIN — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 1:57:55 GMT

Another alpha release of modelGUI is now available for download. This release includes a number of improvements upon the mgui-1.0.4-alpha release, including:

Improved GUI

Surface-to-volume projection

Improved Pipelines and Projects

View3D I/O

...as well as a number of fixes (see the Changelog for details). Although much remains experimental, this interim release takes the project a step towards realizing the objectives for the mgui-1.0.0-beta release.
