Macro-ized !<br><br>Richard, just add the attached py files as new macros and you will be able to switch between MIP, MinIP and Composite (the defaut one) volume rendering.<br>These macros are more than minimalist (2 lines) : they can be easily extended to check the current representation and toggle to volume automatically. <br>
I hope it will be helpful for you<br>Jerome<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/7/12 Utkarsh Ayachit <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:utkarsh.ayachit@kitware.com">utkarsh.ayachit@kitware.com</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
Cool. I wasn't aware of this :).<br>
<br>
To change the blend mode from Python shell, all you do is following<br>
(with the source being volume rendering active in the pipeline<br>
browser):<br>
<br>
SetDisplayProperties(BlendMode="MaximumIntensity")<br>
