Method Detail

suggestViewport

protected static int[] suggestViewport(Volume v,
                                       VJMatrix m)

Determine the optimal size for the rendering in coordinate system m of the whole v.

Parameters:

v - the volume to be rendered.

m - the transformation matrix translating from object space to viewspace.

Returns:

an int[3] containing the width int[0], height int[1] and depth int[2] of the optimal viewport.

suggestCineViewport

protected static int[] suggestCineViewport(Volume v,
                                           VJMatrix m,
                                           float stepx,
                                           float stepy,
                                           float stepz,
                                           int n)

Determine the optimal size for a cine rendering in coordinate system m of the whole v. The size should allow for rotated volumes, therefore test the full extent of the rotation and use the maxima.

Parameters:

v - the volume to be rendered.

m - the transformation matrix translating from object space to viewspace.

stepx, - stepy, stepz the steps along each of the axes.

n - the number of steps.

Returns:

an int[3] containing the width int[0], height int[1] and depth int[2] of the optimal viewport.

centerVolume

public int[] centerVolume(Volume v,
                          VJMatrix m)

Determine the center of volume v in coordinate system m.

Parameters:

v - the volume to be rendered.

m - the transformation matrix translating from object space to viewspace.

Returns:

an int[3] containing the x,y,z position of the center of v.

minmax

public static int[][] minmax(Volume v,
                             VJMatrix m)

Calculate minimum and maximum extents in xyz viewspace coordinates of volume v. Transform the eight corners of the dataset from objectspace into view space using the transformation matrix m, which converts from objectspace into viewspace. These eight new points are the minimum and maximum i,j and k values, in view space, where voxels are present. It is an upper bound for where to cast rays from in viewspace.

Parameters:

v - the volume to be rendered.

m - the transformation matrix translating from object space to viewspace.

Returns:

an int[2][3] containing min [0][..] and max [1][..] for the i,j,k axes.
