<b>Contour Levels info</b>:
 
 
The Levels can be specified as a list (e.g., 'VALUE1;VALUE2;VALUE3')
 
or in the following format 'FISRT:LAST:SPACING'.
 
In the case of a list, it is possible also to specify for each Contour both the MIN and MAX intensity values of the level (e.g., 'CONTOUR1MIN,CONTOUR1MAX;CONTOUR2MIN,CONTOUR2MAX').                                         
 
If the string is preceded by 'RMS', the levels are evaluated in units of RMS of the datacube.
 
 
The contours in SlicerAstro are a full 3D segmentation. Therefore it can be computationally heavy
 
to segment (marching cubes algorithm) and visualize around the noise range [-2, 2] RMS for large datacubes.\

Module Description

The AstroVolume can read/write FITS file (astronomical data format) and handle the color function and display of Astro Volumes.

Astro segmentation editor effect


AstroCloudLasso Effect


The AstroCloudLasso segmentation editor effect is a tool to interactively perform a 3D selection. This 3D selection (the segmentation) can be used either for:

1. changing an imported mask generated by automated algorithms (e.g., source finders);
2. providing an input mask to a variety of tools in SlicerAstro (e.g., MomentMaps module and Modeling module).
