Use Cases

Most frequently used for these scenarios:

• Use Case 1: This can be used to set up a series of predefined starting points for looking at portions of your data in detail. For example, you may have one overview scene which shows an external view of the body along with interior views with the skin surface turned off and slice planes visible to highlight a tumor location.
• Use Case 2: To compare the output of algorithms.

Scene views
Screen snapshot	Click on the camera button to create a new scene view. It pops up a screen capture window that allows you to associate an image with the scene view. You can choose to save an image of the full layout, just the 3D view or just one of the slice views. You can also add a description and change the name.
Scene views	As scene views are saved, they appear in the Create and Edit box. Click on the image thumbnail to edit the image, name, description. You can also move the scene views up or down in the order, or delete one by pressing the garbage can button. To restore a scene view, taking the program back to the state it was in when you saved that scene view, click on the green arrow restore button.
Capture Toolbar	You can also save and restore scene views and screen snapshots from the Capture toolbar.

The scene views are saved in the MRML file, via the File->Save menu.
