js web IDE with 3D data visualization tools and CLI-based RPC
npm install desk-nodeDESK Exposing Server Kit
========================

DESK is a remote desktop, originally for visualization and processing of medical images. It currently only works under linux or Mac OS, but patches are welcome!
This repository contains the node.js code to run the server. The source code for the UI is available here: https://github.com/valette/desk-ui
There are also two local versions available (run locally on your computer) :
* desk-electron
* desk-nw
#### Goals ####
The goal is to be able to use efficient visualisation tools such as THREE.js and qooxdoo on top of already existing server-side commandline programs.
Each server-side program is registered as an 'action', provided by a .json file. As an example, you can have a look at the ACVD.json file from the ACVD repository
DESK can also help to generate static content suited to release on the web. An example of static content served by a classic apache server is visible here : http://www.creatis.insa-lyon.fr/~valette/200
a live demo is visible here: https://desk.creatis.insa-lyon.fr/demo/

to visualize 3D data (meshes, volumes) you also need;
* vtk + headers
* cmake
to install binary addons for 3D data visualization (needs vtk and cmake):
npm run buildAddons
node desk.js
then point your browser to localhost:8080
login as:
- user : your linux username
- password : "password"
The desk API is visible here : http://localhost:8080/ui/api
cd node_modules/desk-ui
git clone https://github.com/qooxdoo/qooxdoo
npm install
npm run build
Afterwards, the debug version is here : http://localhost:8080/ui/source
This software benefits from several open-source contributions:
* VTK
* node.js
* three.js
* qooxdoo
* OpenCTM
* ACVD
