AstroVolume Module

The AstroVolume module provides specilized interface in the 3DSlicer enviroment for:

• Handling the loading and writing of FITS files

  

• MRML nodes that store the data-cube and the FITS keywords in the 3DSlicer object-tree (Data module)

  
  In the tabular is possibile to modify the fits keywords. Opening the node information menu will list, instead, all the private attributes of the object.

• The control of the display coordinates

  
  The spacing and the origin values map the ijk to display tranformation.

• Histogram (for changing interaction/selection in the plotting view press the key 'S')

  

• The control of the 2D color transfer function

  

• The display of the Astronomical World Coordinate (WCS) and Data Probing for 2D views

  

• The display of Beam information in the XY view

  

• The control of the 3D color transfer function

  
  For more detailed options (e.g., interactively modify the color function), navigate to the Volume Rendering module and here is a link to a video showing how to use multi-volume rendering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKok44BqC44

• Tools to convert mask from FITS files (e.g., generated by SoFiA) into segmentations objects and viceversa
