How to invoke sofa in another Qt application and achieve two-way communication

[Cao-Ding-Yu]

I hope to activate the sofa process in another Qt application(MITK) by clicking a button or other methods.

Through research, I learned that QProcess in Qt might be able to start the sofa process, and communication between processes might be possible through QLocalServer and QLocalSocket.

I would like to ask if the above method is feasible. If it is, what necessary parameters should I pass when the process is invoked and communicating with the process?

Besides, may I ask if there are any other more recommended methods?

Hi @Cao-Ding-Yu

I am no expert in communication through QLocalServer, all I know is that we have examples of client & server classes offering a SOFA oriented API using RPyC here: https://github.com/sofa-framework/SofaPython3/tree/master/examples/RPYC

Maybe @fredroy or @remibessard worked on similar topics some time ago
