volume viewer#

The aim of this widget is to allow users browsing a reconstructed volume.

Two modes exists: loading the full volume in memory or not.

when not loading the full volume memory then you will be able to:

browse slices along the fast axis (aka axis 0 or axis Z)
display one of the sampled slice along any of the three axis

When loading the full volume, browsing become possible along any axis.

You can choose to have the view of the three axis side by side or to select only one.

When displaying the three views side by side you can also access a short summary of the reconstructed volume.

On the fly browsing#

You can use sliders to browse along the full volume. In the case the full volume is not in memory it can happen that loading takes some time. Like if several reader try to access the same resources.

Until the frame is loading the previous frame will not be cleared to avoid blinks. But until the image is not loaded a small red dot will appear on the top right corner.
