feat(Camera): Synchronize image slices and cameras

[lchauvin]

This feature will allow to synchronize images (i.e. slices) and cameras, so it will be easy to compare images from different modalities for a given subject for example

The only issue right now, it that it seems the camera is reset when changing images (which defeat the purpose of having camera synchronized).
I tried to comment out the resetCamera function is SliceViewer to see if it was coming from here, but it seems not.

I think it may have something to do with disableAutoResetCamera. I tried to turn if on (no auto reset), but then I can't see the images (not sure if they are out of the FOV or what).

I'm not sure about the order VTK.js camera is updated on switching images. But maybe to diagnose: keep the existing reset stuff, (might be setting needed camera parameters not included in the "synced" ones) and add a composable/hook to trigger the position, focalpont, etc sync after the resets.

I'm not sure where or how to do that. What shoud I hook for ?

[PaulHax]

I'ed want to test if the problem is the timing of the camera property sync vs something else. So could add some temp code to call the sync function on a button press, or wherever you see a camera reset.

[lchauvin]

It's still unclear to me how you want to test this. What I could tell so far, is that the properties of the sync cameras are well updated. I looked in the pinia store, and I could see the values changing for all cameras when sync. However, when I change image, it resets these properties, and because images are sync, it resets to all of them.

[lchauvin]

I tried to monitor the events, but all I can see when changing image is an event called update:modelValue being fired from ItemGroup. I tried to follow this event, but I don't see it calling a camera reset.

Any status on this? Or can we close?

[lchauvin]

I'd still like to get this working, but I don't have time to work on it for now unfortunately.
