一个datanode含有Properties属性，MITK根据这些信息操作datanode。这些属性信息不作为datanode内部数据，但却是rendering或interaction时需要的。

读取和设置property

//1: Read a property
mitk::Property::Pointer readProperty = node->GetProperty("color"); //read the property "color" from the data node
mitk::ColorProperty::Pointer colorProperty = dynamic_cast<mitk::ColorProperty*>(readProperty); //cast this property to the subtype ColorProperty
//2: Write a property
mitk::BoolProperty::Pointer newProperty = mitk::BoolProperty::New( true ); //create a new property, in this case a boolean property
node->SetProperty( "IsTensorVolume", newProperty ); //add this property to node with the key "IsTensorVolume"

注意到：设置属性的时候需要先建好属性，以及这个属性的key。那么key是MITK提前定义的，还是自己随意设？MITK已经定义好。

property服务

有propterty，必须就有管理和操作这些property的类，也就是服务员。MITK里面有四个服务员，aliases(mitk::IPropertyAliases)，descriptions(mitk::IPropertyDescriptions)，extensions(mitk::IPropertyExtensions)，filters(mitk::IPropertyFilters)。

常用properties

文件管理

path：该文件来自于磁盘哪个位置
name：node在datamanager中的名字
selected：datamanager中的这个node是否被选中

常用渲染相关的property

color：由三个值定义(RGB)，值在0.0到1.0之间。
layer: 决定哪个图像在上，哪个在下。datatype相同的图像，layer才有作用。pointSet永远在image上面，layer在此没有作用
levelwindow ：
LookupTable ：该属性包含一个用户自定义的loouptable，可以将灰度值(scalar value)映射到颜色值(color value)。比如，如果一个像素点的灰度值是128，lookuptable可以将值映射为(255，0，0)。如果设置了LookupTable 属性，则color属性将对图像无效。
opacity ：值在0.0--1.0。
reslice interpolation - This property takes effect in swivel mode or crosshair rotaiton only. The interpolation modes "Nearest", "Linear", and "Cubic" are available and effect the pixel outcome along the rotated plane.
texture interpolation - This property toggles interpolation of the texture. If enabled, edges between image pixels are blurred. If disabled, edges remain sharp.
visible - toggle node/image/surface being rendered at all

面渲染属性

back color - 在2D中，surface以外区域的颜色。此处surface表示什么？？
back normal lenth (px) - in 2D, length of the normals in pixels (When decreasing it the color using the front color is shorter?)
color mode - (From VTK) Control how the scalar data is mapped to colors. By default (ColorModeToDefault), unsigned char scalars are treated as colors, and NOT mapped through the lookup table, while everything else is. Setting ColorModeToMapScalars means that all scalar data will be mapped through the lookup table.
draw normals 2d - 在2D，决定是否显示法向量(normals)
front color - 在 2D, surface内的法向量颜色
front normal lenth (px) - in 2D, 法向量的长度，单位是像素 (When decreasing it the color using the back color is shorter?)
invert normals - in 2D, switch front/back normals
line width - in 2D, 控制surface与plane相交处的线的宽度 (and normals)
material.ambientCoefficient - in 3D ambient lighting
material.diffuseCoefficient - in 3D scattering of light
material.interpolation - Choose which interpolation algorithm to use for surface construction
material.representation - Choose the representation to draw the mesh in (Surface, Wireframe, Point Cloud)
material.specularCoefficient - in-/decrease non-scattered reflection
material.specularPower - control percentage of non-scattered reflection
material.wireframeLineWidth - width of the wires if wireframe representation is
scalar mode - (From VTK) Control how the filter works with scalar point data and cell attribute data. By default (ScalarModeToDefault), the filter will use point data, and if no point data is available, then cell data is used. Alternatively you can explicitly set the filter to use point data (ScalarModeToUsePointData) or cell data (ScalarModeToUseCellData). You can also choose to get the scalars from an array in point field data (ScalarModeToUsePointFieldData) or cell field data (ScalarModeToUseCellFieldData). If scalars are coming from a field data array, you must call SelectColorArray before you call GetColors. When ScalarMode is set to use Field Data (ScalarModeToFieldData), you must call SelectColorArray to choose the field data array to be used to color cells. In this mode, if the poly data has triangle strips, the field data is treated as the celldata for each mini-cell formed by a triangle in the strip rather than the entire strip.
scalar visibility - (From VTK) Turn on/off flag to control whether scalar data is used to color objects.
selected - 该节点是否被选中
shader - which shader to use for surface rendering, currently the options are "fixed" and "mitkShaderLightning"

Remarks

Uselod can be active with usegpu, usemip, useray, but any of the latter can not be used with another one of them.

Point Set 属性

close contour - Toggles whether the first and the last point of a contour (connecting pieces between following points of a pointset) are connected.
contourcolor - Determines the color of the contour (connecting pieces between following points of a pointset). Visible only if "show contour" is active.
contoursize - Represents the diameter of the contour (which is kind of a tube between the following points of a pointset). Visible only if "show contour" is active.
distance decimal digits - Sets the number of decimal places for the euclidean point to point distance which can be displayed by activating "show distances".
point 2D size - The positions of points in the 2D view are represented by crosses. "point 2D size" determines the size of this crosses.
point line width - The positions of points in the 2D view are represented by crosses. "point line width" determines the thickness of this crosses.
pointsize - The positions of points in the 3D view are represented by spheres. "pointsize" determines the diameter (size) of this spheres.
selectedcolor - Sets the color for selected points from a pointset.
show angles - If "show contour" is active the angles between two contour parts can be shown.
show contour - Connects following points of a pointset by drawing connecting pieces between this points.
show distance lines - Shows all angles and lines of the contour (in 2D views) even if they are not on the view's current slice.
show distances - Draws lines between following points (in 2D views) and displays the euclidean distance between this points.
show points - Toggles if the points are visible or not in the view.
updateDataOnRender - If "true" the pointset is updated before rendering. If the pointset is part of a filter pipeline this also causes an update to the pipeline which sometimes may be not desired so it can be switched of by setting it to false.
