Reverse Subtract	BLEND_REVERSE_SUBTRACT
Subtract	BLEND_SUBTRACT
Premultiplied Blend	BLEND_PREMULTIPLIED_BLEND

Filter Mode¶

name: filterMode, type: Enum, default: FILTER_LINEAR¶: Defines how the volume image’s voxels are mapped onto the screen (inter-/ extrapolation).

Values:

Title	Name	Description
Nearest	FILTER_NEAREST	Nearest neighbor sampling is used, no interpolation is performed.
Linear	FILTER_LINEAR	Bilinear interpolation is performed. The 4 neighboring grey values are read and classified via the LUT (PRE CLASSIFICATION). Afterwards the 4 RGBA values are linearly interpolated. Since the interpolation is done after the classification, this mode supports coloring labels without artifacts between label borders.
Linear Postclass	FILTER_LINEAR_POSTCLASS	Bilinear interpolation is performed on the 4 neighboring grey values. The resulting grey value is classified using the LUT (POST CLASSIFICATION). This mode supports high frequency LUTs and is not suitable to render colored labels because of the interpolation of the label values. This mode is only supported if shaders are enabled and the image is a grey image.
Cubic Postclass	FILTER_CUBIC_POSTCLASS	This mode implements bicubic B-spline filtering. (Details: Fast Third-Order Texture Filtering, Markus Hadwiger). Since the filter kernel is bigger than for linear interpolation, the resulting image looks much smoother. This comes at the cost of detail, the filter does not preserve the exact voxel value at the center of each voxel. This mode is only supported if shaders are enabled and the image is a grey image.

Right	SLICE_ALIGNX_RIGHT

Slice Align Y¶

name: sliceAlignY, type: Enum, default: SLICE_ALIGNY_CENTER¶: Defines the slices’ vertical alignment in the viewport.

Values:

Title	Name
Center	SLICE_ALIGNY_CENTER
Top	SLICE_ALIGNY_TOP
Bottom	SLICE_ALIGNY_BOTTOM

Lut Precision¶

name: lutPrecision, type: Enum, default: VIEW2D_LUT_AUTO¶: Sets the precision of the LUT.
