Register a sample dataset

[jcfr]

To help prospective user understand how to use the extension, a sampledata set should be registered and offered for download to the user.

For example, see https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/blob/5.2/Utilities/Templates/Modules/Scripted/TemplateKey.py#L45-L89

Thanks @jcfr. I can provide sample data but I'm a little unclear on the process. Should the url link to data held on my github or is there a preferred alternative location for Slicer?

Anticipating that your project will likely grow, I suggest to create a release called SampleData. This will avoid directly adding binary files to the commit history.

To create the SampleData release, consider using https://gist.github.com/jcfr/9c0c0133c2d3fa2b029e6dd2648f7720 where you would set the variables like this:

tag_name=sampledata
release_name=SampleData

org=dmolony3
proj=SlicerFractionalMyocardialMass

Notes:

• Consider executing the bash commands by copying into the terminal instead of running the script as a whole.
• The hub tool references in the script is https://hub.github.com/

Examples:

• https://github.com/BrownBiomechanics/Autoscoper/releases/tag/sample-data

Thanks, I have added sampledata and a test using the sample data.
