[Insight-users] Need help with orientation of images

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Sandhya,

If you are using the code in

  InsightApplications/
                Auxiliary/
                   QtImageViewer

you could modify the class

       QtSliceViewer

by adding "Set" methods for
changing the values of the
flip booleans

     cFlipX
     cFlipY
     cFlipZ


Please let us know if you have
further questions,


    Thanks


      Luis
