is devoted to the use of the \emph{black box interpreter} \bbi.

\end{itemize}
The script language is very simple.
-Everything is done with only a few commands.
+Everything is done with only a very few commands (See table \ref{bbi-reference-box}).
The philosophy of this part is also very simple:
it introduces the \bbi commands using examples,
starting with the most simple commands.
The \texttt{'a'} at the end is the \emph{name} of the instance,
which will be used to reference it later.
-It is important to distinguish a box \emph{types}
+It is important to distinguish a box \emph{type}
and an \emph{instance} of a box type.
The \texttt{Add} box of the package \texttt{std} is actually
a \emph{box type} , like \texttt{int} is a data type
in \texttt{C} langage. The \texttt{new} command allows to create
an instance of a box type, exactly like \texttt{int i;} in
-a \texttt{C} code declares a variable of type \texttt{int} whose

name is \texttt{i}.
Of course, like in \texttt{C} Language, you can declare multiple boxes of the
same type in \bbi.

+
+\paragraph{Note :}
+A more 'modern' way to proceed is to run \texttt{bbStudio}, drag and drop the \texttt{Command} bookmark to the lower \texttt{Welcome to bbStudio!} bar.
+Wou'll get something like in figure \ref{bbCommandPlusHelp} :
+
+\begin{figure}[!ht]

> set b.In2 3
> print $b.Out$
+\end{verbatim}
+
+You will see the (very expected) result :
+\begin{verbatim}

\end{verbatim}
The first three commands build the pipeline,
the next three set \texttt{a} and \texttt{b} black boxes inputs and the last one
-executes the pipeline and prints \texttt{b} black boxe output.
+prints \texttt{b} black boxe output (the pipeline is executed before printing, because the interpretor 'knows' he box \texttt{b},
+whose output is requested, is not up to date.
The command \texttt{'connect a.Out b.In1'} ``plugs'' the output
\texttt{Out} of the box \texttt{a} into the input \texttt{In1} of the
chains of boxes (see \ref{bbi-more-on-pipeline-processing}
for details).
+
+Lets' consider an other, more image oriented, example :
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+> include vtk
+> include wx
+> include itk
+> include wxvtk
+
+> new FileSelector fileDialog
+> new ImageReader reader
+> new Slider slider
+> new Viewer2D viewer
+
+> connect fileDialog.Out reader.In
+> connect reader.Out viewer.In
+> connect slider.Out viewer.Slice
+> connect slider.BoxChange viewer.BoxExecute
+
+> exec viewer
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Some explainations : the \texttt{include} instructions load the necessary packages. \\
+
+\texttt{new FileSelector} will pop a File Selector, at run time, that will out the user chosen file name. \\
+\texttt{new Slider} will pop a Slider, at run time, that will out an integer, used later as a slice number.\\
+\texttt{new ImageReader} will read any itk readable file, whose name is passed as a std::string, and return a itk::ImagePointer.
+\texttt{new Viewer2D} display a plane, whose number id specified by an integer.\\
+\\
+\texttt{connect fileDialog.Out reader.In} plugs the output of the File Selector (a std::string) to the input of the reader (a std::string, too).\\
+\texttt{connect reader.Out viewer.In} plugs the output of the reader (an itk::ImagePointer) to the input of the Viewer (a vtkImageData *)\\
+\texttt{connect slider.Out viewer.Slice} plugs the output of the slider (an int) to an other output (named Slide) of the viewer.\\
+\texttt{connect slider.BoxChange viewer.BoxExecute} says the viewer it must re process itself any time the slider is modified.\\
+\\
+\texttt{exec viewer} processes the viewer.
+
+
+This would correspond to the graph in figure \ref{bbi-simplegraph}
+
+

Of course, to be able to connect two boxes,
the output and the input must be compatibles.
You can always connect an output to an input of the \emph{same} type,
\texttt{Slider} or a \texttt{FileDialog} rather than a \texttt{InputText}.
See the files \texttt{test*.bbs} in the \texttt{scripts/test} directory.
-There are two kind of widgets: ``terminal'' widgets and ``container'' widgets.
+There are two kinds of widgets: ``terminal'' widgets and ``container'' widgets.
The \texttt{InputText}, \texttt{FileDialog} or \texttt{Slider} widgets
are ``terminal'' widgets.
``container'' widgets are of another kind: they are designed to
\begin{itemize}
\item {\bf\emph{Widget}} : that is the \texttt{wxWindow} itself. If it's not connected to the \texttt{Widget}\emph{i} of any \emph{Layout box}, it
- will popup. If it's connected to the\bf{Widget}\bf\emph{i} of any \texttt{Layout box}, it will be embedded in its parent window.
+ will popup. If it's connected to the \texttt{Widget}\texttt{\emph{i}} of any \texttt{Layout box}, it will be embedded in its parent window.
\item {\bf\emph{Boxchange}} : Signals any modification of the box. This output may be connect if necessary to the \emph{BoxExecute} of an other box,
further within the execution pipeline.
\end{itemize}
\item {\bf\emph{BoxExecute}} : Any signal received by this input executes the box
\item {\bf\emph{BoxProcessMode}} : Sets the processing mode of the box :
\begin{itemize}
- \item {\bf\emph{Pipeline}} : bbUpdate() only calls Process if Status == MODIFIED (normal pipeline processing)
+ \item {\bf\emph{Pipeline}} : bbUpdate() calls Process only if Status == MODIFIED (normal pipeline processing)
\item {\bf\emph{Always}} : bbUpdate() always calls Process
\item {\bf\emph{Reactive}} : bbSetModifiedStatus() calls bbUpdate()
\end{itemize}
Any \emph{Layout box} (i.e. \emph{LayoutLine}, \emph{LayoutSplit} or \emph{LayoutTab}) has at one or more mandatory Inputs :
\begin{itemize}
- \item \bf{Widget}\bf{\emph{i}} : e.g. a \emph{LayoutSplit} box (Widget which splits a window in two fixed size parts)
+ \item {\bf\emph{Widget}}\texttt{i} : e.g. a \emph{LayoutSplit} box (Widget which splits a window in two fixed size parts)
has two Input parameters \emph{Widget1} and \emph{Widget2}, used to embed the child windows.
\end{itemize}
-
-TO DO:
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item Make a tour of ``complex'' widgets of wxvtk
-\item Explain the role of ProcessMode to update widgets
-\item Explain the creation of complex widgets (containers, contained...)
-\item Explain the ``control'' mechanism in bbi (switch exec commands, e.g. Button)

-vtkImageAnisotropicDiffusion3D diffuses an volume iteratively.

-if 'Faces' is on, the 6 voxels adjoined by faces are included in the neighborhood.
-If 'Edges' is on the 12 edge connected voxels are included, and if 'Corners' is on, the 8 corner connected voxels are included.
-'DiffusionFactor' determines how far a pixel value moves toward its neighbors, and is insensitive to the number of neighbors chosen.
-The diffusion is anisotropic because it only occurs when a gradient measure is below 'GradientThreshold'.
-Two gradient measures exist and are toggled by the 'GradientMagnitudeThreshold' flag.
-When 'GradientMagnitudeThreshold' is on, the magnitude of the gradient, computed by central differences, above 'DiffusionThreshold' a voxel is not modified.
-The alternative measure examines each neighbor independently.
-The gradient between the voxel and the neighbor must be below the 'DiffusionThreshold' for diffusion to occur with THAT neighbor.
