Table 1 Viewing modes
From: Web tools for large-scale 3D biological images and atlases
Mode | Purpose |
|---|---|
Statue | The viewer is fixed and the cut section is viewed by rotating about the line of intersection with the original z-plane. With non-zero pitch the effect of changing yaw will result in the section appearing to rotate. |
Up-is-Up | A pre-defined or user-defined vector up is projected onto the cut section which is then rotated so that it will be parallel to the vertical axis on the user’s screen. |
Fixed line | The fixed point used to define the centre of rotation can be coupled with a second fixed point to define a fixed line leaving one d.o.f. of rotation around that line. |
Absolute | Unconstrained viewing mode where all angles must be defined explicitly. |
