Slice Visual

The Slice visual is designed to render 2D slices extracted from a 3D volume. It is useful for inspecting cross-sections of volumetric data such as MRI, CT, or simulation fields.


Status

Warning

The slice visual is implemented in the Datoviz C library, but is not yet available in the Python API.

Python bindings will be added in a future release. Once available, this visual will support slicing along arbitrary axes with customizable placement, size, and texture coordinates.


Planned features

  • Display 2D cross-sections of 3D volumes
  • Support for slicing along X, Y, or Z or tilted axes
  • Compatible with the same 3D textures used by the Volume visual
