3D Volume Visualization

3D volume viz with interactive slice selection, colored ortho-planes, windowing, colormap selection.

Description

This tool provides an interactive 3D volume visualization. The function accepts as arguments any 3D matrix (of type double or uint8) and optional colormap, and displays a 2x2 figure of the 3 orthogonal planar views (neurological coordinate system) along with the built-in 'slice' visualization. Further, as you select slices through click and drag or scroll, the 3D view and color-coded orthogonal planes are updated accordingly. You may rotate the 3D view by manually selecting the 'Rotate 3D' figure button, and the 3D perspective (CameraPosition) is maintained as you continue changing slices.

This tool is more sparse than other volume visualizations out there, but it serves its purpose, and may offer an advantage with the added windowing and colormap selection capability.
