ImagePlaneWidget

vtk-examples/Java/Widgets/ImagePlaneWidget

Description¶

This 3D widget defines a plane that can be interactively placed in an image volume.

A nice feature of the object is that the vtkImagePlaneWidget, like any 3D widget, will work with the current interactor style.

That is, if vtkImagePlaneWidget does not handle an event, then all other registered observers (including the interactor style) have an opportunity to process the event. Otherwise, the vtkImagePlaneWidget will terminate the processing of the event that it handles.
