These adjustments can be made individually for each plane. The clipping planes can be chosen by
selecting the respective button.
Appearance of the clipping planes
By default the clipping planes have an opaque surface and a colored
outline. This can be changed by using the dropdown in the
3D View
Control tab. In the
Clipping
View Control tab, this function can be
found in a pull down.
This function is applicable to all 3 clipping planes separately.
Colored:
white - opaque surface of the plane
Binary:
displays the binary data on the clipping planes
Textured:
Data which are touched by the plane are displayed on the clipping
plane as in the render mode
Transparent but as a two-dimensional
projection. This does include the settings (threshold, ramp etc)
applying for
Transparent
render mode. Black pixels are transparent.
Textured fine:
Same as above but with 4x times the resolution
Tansparent:
Data which are touched by the plane are displayed on the clipping plane as in the render mode
Transparent
but as a two-dimensional projection. This does not include the settings applying for
Transparent render mode. Black pixels are transparent.
Textured opaque
:
as with Transparent (including the settings) but in this case black pixels are non-transparent, rendered
volume data in the background do not shine through.
Interactive positioning of the clipping planes
The clipping planes can be moved interactively with the mouse by activating the button. If hovering
over a plane outline of the plane turns into a different color, the cursor turns into a crosshair indicating
that the plane can now be moved. Clicking and dragging then moves the plane. The clipping behavior
(e.g. "front") is maintained during the movement.
These movements can also be "recorded" using the render series function.
