Detailed Description

[PREVIEW] [Medical] Shape node to display slice orientation markers in window coordinates.

This node displays slice orientation markers at a fixed location in the viewer window. Slice orientation markers are useful when viewing images in a "2D" mode. The orientation markers are a set of four letters. Each letter is displayed at the mid-point of one edge of the window and offset inward by the value specified in the offset field. The letters displayed depend on the value of the axis field and correspond to the DICOM radiological viewing convention. This node is intended to be used with SoOrthoSlice and a "plane" viewer.

The application can connect the axis field from the 'axis' field of the SoOrthoSlice node and the correct orientation markers will be displayed automatically if the slice axis is changed.

For:

• AXIAL display
  • Left/Right: R(ight) / L(eft)
  • Top/Bottom: A(nterior) / P(osterior)

• CORONAL display
  • Left/Right: R(ight) / L(eft)
  • Top/Bottom: S(uperior) / I(nferior)

• SAGITTAL display
  • Left/Right: A(nterior) / P(osterior)
  • Top/Bottom: S(uperior) / I(nferior)

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULT

offset	0.05
