Detailed Description

Thick slab reformat through data.

This class derives from vtkImageResliceBase. Much like vtkImageReslice, it reslices the data. It is multi-threaded. It takes a three dimensional image as input and produces a two dimensional thick MPR along some direction.

The class reslices the thick slab using a blending function. Supported blending functions are Minimum Intensity blend through the slab, maximum intensity blend and a Mean (average) intensity of values across the slab.

The user can adjust the thickness of the slab by using the method SetSlabThickness. The distance between sample points used for blending across the thickness of the slab is controlled by the method SetSlabResolution. These two methods determine the number of slices used across the slab for blending, which is computed as {(2 x (int)(0.5 x SlabThickness/SlabResolution)) + 1}. This value may be queried via GetNumBlendSamplePoints() and is always >= 1.

Much like vtkImageReslice, the reslice axes direction cosines may be set via the methods SetResliceAxes or SetResliceAxesDirectionCosines. The output spacing is controlled by SetOutputSpacing and the output origin is controlled by SetOutputOrigin. The default value to be set on pixels that lie outside the volume when reformatting is controlled by SetBackgroundColor or SetBackgroundLevel. The SetResliceAxesOrigin() method can also be used to provide an (x,y,z) point that the slice will pass through.

Reimplemented from vtkImageReslice.

static int vtkImageSlabReslice::IsTypeOf ( const char * name ) [static]

Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.
