Detailed Description

A ActorEventCallback used to render a volume using viewport aligned slices.

Pictures from: Sliced Volume Rendering with Transfer Functions and Lighting Tutorial tutorial.

Using the SlicedVolume class is very simple, see Sliced Volume Rendering with Transfer Functions and Lighting Tutorial for a complete example.

Basically all SlicedVolume does is to compute the correct texture coordinates and generates on the fly N viewport aligned slices, where N can be specified by the user with setSliceCount(). Such slices then can be rendered using a GLSLProgram specified by the user, thus you can achieve virtually any kind of visual effect with it.

The user can reimplement the updateUniforms() method to update his own uniform variables before the volume is rendered. By default updateUniforms() updates the position of up to 4 lights in object space. Such positions are stored in the "uniform vec3 light_position[4]" variable. The updateUniforms() method also fills the "uniform bool light_enable[4]" variable with a flag marking if the Nth light is active or not. These light values are computed based on the lights bound to the current Shader. The updateUniforms() method also fills the "uniform vec3 eye_position" variable which contains the camera position in object space, useful to compute specular highlights etc.

Reimplement this method to update the uniform variables of your GLSL program before the volume is rendered.

By default updateUniforms() updates the position of up to 4 lights in object space. Such positions are stored in the "uniform vec3 light_position[4]" variable. The updateUniforms() method also fills the "uniform bool light_enable[4]" variable with a flag marking if the Nth light is active or not.
