Choosing MNI coordinates with MRIcroGL
Hello!
I have just started using MRIcroGL (with a Mac) and have a couple of quick questions regarding the Multi-planar view:
1.) Is there a way to choose the MNI coordinates that you want to focus your crosshairs on (instead of clicking through the "2D slices" buttons?
2.) Is there a way to remove the crosshairs when I want to save my image as a .png file?
These seem like straightforward functions, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

RE: Choosing MNI coordinates with MRIcroGL
If you download the latest pre-release
https://github.com/neurolabusc/MRIcroGL/...
and choose the Display/MultPlanar menu item, you will see that the "2D Slice Selection" panel in the Toolbar has a section labeled "Coordinates (X,Y,Z)" - if you insert numbers into these three boxes you will see the corresponding location

You can also do this with by selecting the View/Scripting menu item and writing a short script in the Pascal:
BEGIN
orthoviewmm(-20, 0.5, 0.5);
END.
or with the new Python scripting:
import gl
gl.orthoviewmm(-20, 0.5, 0.5)
