[vtkusers] Rotating planes

[Alessandro Volz]

What are you currently using to get the axial/coronal/sagittal slices?

The vtkImageReslice class lets you generate "plane views" for any orientation. You'd provide rotated X and Y axes while keeping the Z axis to obtain your desired results.

Best,

Alessandro
