Dear Dr. Peng,

My name is Xinghua Lou and I am using your wonderful V3D for visualizing my work. By far V3D works perfectly for visualizing a single volume of my data but I am having problems when dealing with a series of volumetric data. In particular, I wish to load and visualize the volumes in my 3D+T data subsequently and meanwhile rotate the view. The basic functionality of V3D is in fact sufficient for such task but it will be great if I can somehow script to control this animated process.

I wonder if it is possible to do scripting in your current V3D or if it is possible to control the data and the view via the plugin system.

Thanks a lot for your attention and consideration. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Xinghua Lou. [/userquote]

xinghua,

thanks for the interest.

Your question may be addressed in a few different ways.

(1) If you just want to batch processing the images and take advantage of the 3d viewer, it is very easy to write a plugin that use the new V3D "push" technique that can continuous feed data to 3d viewers (both glocal and/or local 3d viewers) and the tri-view window. There is a plugin demo program for that. If you don't know how to start, we can also show you how to do that.

In this way, you can indeed have almost full control of the V3D system, w/o even touching its main codebase.

(2) We are still working on a command-line based scripting method to let V3D be able to accept image(s) and do the processing. There was an issue with the event control of the Qt-based system for that, but we do plan to do that soon.

best,
-hanchuan
