How lightweight can this software be? (Plus few other questions...)

  1. ITK-SNAP’s executable on Windows is around 30MB. It has ITK statically linked.
  2. ITK is a library. 3D Slicer and ITK-SNAP are built on top of it.
  3. It can be as small as 1MB, depending on how much of ITK’s functionality is being used. In particular support for IO formats increases the executable’s size considerably.
  4. Both 3D Slicer and ITK-SNAP are available on Linux and MacOS in addition to Windows. For an application to be cross-platform, all of its libraries need to be too. And the application writer needs to take care for their application code to be cross-platform too.
  5. 3D Slicer and ITK-SNAP.
  6. See Job opportunities at Kitware.
