[vtkusers] MIP Projection on a 3D Plane

Fri Apr 12 17:36:42 EDT 2013

Dear Jose Ignacio,
if I understand well, you mean having a volume render of the heart and
showing an arbitrary 2D plane together, in the same scene. This is
definitely possible.

You must just have all the necessary input data (your volume and have your
2D cut computed) and then add the necessary actors to the scene.

If you need more precise answers or directions, you may want to give
further details.

HTH,
JON HAITZ
