ClearVolume / clearvolume

ClearVolume is a real-time live 3D visualization library designed for high-end volumetric microscopes such as SPIM and DLSM microscopes. With ClearVolume you can see live on your screen the stacks acquired by your microscope instead of waiting for offline post-processing to give you an intuitive and comprehensive view on your data.

Scalebar in 3d view (as overlay) #33

Open fjug opened 9 years ago

fjug commented 9 years ago

I got this mail from a user and think it is a very good idea:

Hi Florian,

Thanks for getting back to me. I found the clear volume integration in Knime. And it works now. I was wondering if one could put any scale bar in the 3D picture? Many thanks, Lijuan

Hi Florian, Lijuan,

That’s a good idea, it makes most sense in orthographic mode though, (in perspective mode lengths vary with depth) but that’s fine…
It’s not hard to do, we can add it to the todo list high up… :-)

One solution is:

i) have a 3D ‘bar’ inside of the volume in perspective mode ii) have a 2D bar overlayed on the display in orthographic mode.

I like the idea of the 3D scalebox very much, especially considering that we might have very different voxel dimensions in X, Y and Z. Would also be great if the box would then be customizable, e.g. by dragging, to adjust its dimensions.
